After Cancellation Notice, Offshore SEO Company Threatens Negative Reputation Management Campaign

A company received a smear campaign threat from its outsourced SEO firm because the firm knows Google’s algorithm improperly ranks negative results, which Google claims helps to show an impartial view of the Web.

Reference this e-mail and tell me if you’d rather hire offshore to save a few dollars or go with a reputable SEO company that can provide you with skilled SEO link builders and an on-going professional relationship.

This is in response to a request to cancel services for a month-to-month service offering:

The legal nature of these tactics is questionable in the United States, but hiring an offshore firm doesn’t provide you the same protection from a “Negative Reputation Campaign.”

It’s unbelievable that an SEO company would put its own reputation on the line with such an e-mail because a client has decided to go with another SEO firm. I’ve seen these tactics for more than a decade in both Web design/development and SEO, and its extremely unfortunate.

A couple weeks ago, Google tweaked their algorithm to penalize DecorMyEyes.com after the NY Times published an article discussing their alleged fraudulent business practices that resulted in supposed increased Google rankings.

Bottom line: Google took action! They need to continue that effort with sites like RipOffReport.com, ComplaintsBoard.com, Scam.com and other sites that obtain very high positions in the Google Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) and seem to be favored by Google’s algorithm.

When searching for brand names, you often see negative complaints published on these URLs at the top of the SERPs. I would understand seeing these URLs with negative information showing up in the SERPs for searches like:

Brand name scamBrand name sucksBrand name complaintsBrand name problemsAnd other keyword combinations based around negative terms

But when a brand name is the sole keyword and a complaint site URL is showing up #2, there is most likely an imbalance of credibility with Google’s algorithm that gives the complaint site the advantage.

Keep in mind the backlink portfolio to the URLs listed do not warrant a #2 ranking, nor does Google agree that a similarly credible website should rank for every brand in the world with little more than a brand name displayed in a page title, header tag and content body. At least Google’s love affair with Wikipedia can be argued that Wikipedia’s deep pages obtain thousands of links individually and therefore deserve a top ranking.

What did I miss in this post and plea to Google to do the right thing? Please comment and share.

Nisha Kothari on life after she reverted to her original name

There’s a certain quietude about Priyanka Kothari these days, which makes you wonder what this screen siren is up to. After all, we are used to seeing this gal heat up the glam quotient of films with her oomph and dare-bare roles. Ask her about it and she says, “I am enjoying the journey called life and am feeling very happy.” Is this sense of inner happiness in any way related to her reverting to her original name from Nisha? She says, “Not really. Life was fantastic then and now as well. I just did what I wanted to. That’s the way I live life -on my own terms and I follow my own rules.”

So, is she taking the failure of Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag in her stride as well? After all Ram Gopal Varma is looking for new faces for his next venture? “I’ve said this many times and will say it again. I don’t belong to any one director. I belong to the film industry. Ram Gopal Varma is not my destination. Yes, he has shaped my career to a great extent, but there are other brilliant directors too out there and I am waiting to work with them.”

And waiting she is also for the ‘right’ kind of roles. Priyanka is finding it difficult to shed the sex-kitten tag and do roles that portray her as a simple, girl next door.

She explains, “I am a very simple girl at heart and would love to do roles, which explore this facet of my personality. I really wish some directors offer me such roles.”

On her way to Katni, Priyanka wishes her Nagpur stopover was longer. She says, “I haven’t been to the city earlier, but I’ve heard so much about the santra barfi that I am packing some for my mom.” And isn’t she going to taste some of it? She laughs and adds, “No way. I can’t afford a pimple or weight gain!” So does she sacrifice quite a bit of these goodies for that perfect body? Laughing again, she says, “I don’t like ice creams or chocolates, so no question of sacrifice. But I am very conscious of what I eat. I don’t diet but I eat right and exercise for at least one-and-a-half hour everyday.”

The actress whose Telugu film is slated to release soon says she isn’t too bothered about the Bollywood-South divide. She says, “Cinema is all about expression, not language. You emote well, you get appreciated.”

And appreciation she has received for her dance numbers. Ask her to choose the one number she’d love to do and she says, “Madhuri’s Ek do teen, Dhak dhak and Sridevi’s Kaate nahi kat te..I think they are marvellous songs and both the actresses have done full justice to them. If I get a chance I’d love to do them!”
