Sabotaging sites

Discussion in 'Google' started by zippy, Sep 19, 2007.

    I think this may have happened to me. SOmebody sabotaging my site. I have read there are many ways of doing this. You find a site you dont like and you submit tens of thousands of link submissions or do bulk mailings with their site URL.

    Which ways do you think are the most effective at killing what used to be a top 5 ranked google site (for specific keywords) which now went away forever?

    Those were just two ideas I thought might have contributed. Are there other ways that are fool proof or work quickly that somebody can use to kill your site?

    You cannot do what you are saying. Why do you think someone is killing your site?

    Can you elaborate why that 'sabotage' can't be done? I don't know much about this subject and would like to know more :).

    What methods are there to 'sabotage' a site?! I certainly don't know any effective ones.

    There are methods around. I won't divulge how they work and for the record, I don't use them. I use white hat only.

    Sounds more like you want to sabotage than have been sabotaged.

    Sabotage sucks. It's one of the main issues Google and other SE's need to be looking out for and coming up with solutions to, because it seems like the tools that are available now (which I won't disclose) are very effective in bringing down reputable sites.

    Your post is so suspicious.

    don't try to sabotage someone else's site. It's not cool!

    They worked hard to get where they are. Let them be.

    Well if you are a real SEO then you can optimize harder and rank better and higher than you competition and it's the real challenge on SEO but not to sabotage other websites.

    As per Google "Nothing outside a website owner's control can HARM a website". For example, if you link to a bad neighborhood (which is in your control), you site can be harmed. If bad neighborhood links to you, the link can get nullified or something like bad, but your site cannot be harmed.

    To the OP:
    can you please provide a link to your site so we can check out how you've been sabotaged?

    There is a known vulnerability in Google's algorithm, many sites have been sabotaged for the last one year and dropped from SERPs, due to no fault of theirs . Many of my older sites have been affected , even now I see a common "105" in the referral strings across many unrelated websites, so people are still trying to sabotage.
