This might be the first individual Tweet to go hot on Sphinn.
It's not just "lies" - it's lies of omission. They want you to "give up your link broker's name, address, etc." If it was black hat SEO, they want the name of the SEO and the company name. It's very personal, which in some ways is surprising.
What Rand said... its really alarming the crud they think you should tell them. IMO you should lie and tell them it was a company that already has a bad reputation and go from there.

This might be the lowest value piece ever going hot on Sphinn.

i wish. i can post examples if you like.
I hear the 'reconsideration requests' provide Google Employees with a thigh slapping good laugh.
I was actually thinking of doing a Lydon style linkbate tale, complete with 'dear john' stories of dog/parot/wife dying, bit of imagination.
Matt should publish and let us all have a laugh.

I'm glad to see it going hot. And that illustrates the power of Sphinn in covering a wide range of Socialmedia.
