Negative SEO is not only possible, but getting more and more possible each day. The more restrictive google gets about linkbuilding activities, the more issues this is going to create.Some day it may be easier to de-rank competitors(who aren’t extraordinarily well established) then it will be to outrank them. And that is going to be a nasty day.
You can for the right amount of money get your competitor’s site banned, defaced, blacklisted, destroyed and what have you.
Very true...I agree with "SlightlyShadySEO". Negative Seo is growing on a daily basis. The more you restrict, the more it grows.
While the search engines use off-site means to rank a webpage this will remain a posibility.
While I couldn’t disagerr more with rhcerff’s opinion (it is on-site factors that are most easily gamed) I couldn’t agree more with Shady.It’ll be a sad day when unscrupulous SEO’s are given license to buy links, point them at their competitors, then report them to Google to push their rankings.And that day could be here real soon...if it’s not here already.
@hugoguzman: You would be amazed. I was talking to a friend of mine who is not even the "darkest of the dark" in terms of SEO. We’re both constantly getting requests for things like this. And not from the uninformed either. More inhouse teams, and domain owners who already run heavy SEO on their domain.Neither of us are taking these requests, but I’m finding typically the offered amount for this "service" is between $5,000-$7,000 for what would amount to a quick job. The demand is there, and people(though not me) are going to fill it soon.
