A lot of adult content websites have a splash page warning you of your impending experience with naughtiness. They also tend to have an Enter and Exit button - with the Exit button more often taking you away to the Disney domain. With all those links to Disney from adult websites, I am eagerly waiting for the day that Google does another algo rejig and suddenly, the Disney website comes tops for most adult porn searches
it's takes them there because they are below 18... either you can enter 18+ world or stay in disney world.. looks intresting concept !

I think you'll find they get ranked for exit http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=exit&btnG=Google+Search since this is the text that most sites use to link to them through
Agreed, they are doing well for "exit" - today. But the link text weighting seems to be falling - in favour of site theme, so I wouldn't be surprised if in the future, Disney does well for searches for the surrounding text to the link
Does google separates inbound links as good/bad neighourhood? I know if YOUR SITE points (OUTBOUND link ) to a bad neighourhood, your site ranking will get affected. Do you know anyway to control other sites from linking to your site ?
There is of course no way to control who links to your site. That's why search engines could never hold that against you. Otherwise people would simply point hundreds of spammy links toward their competition.
Some people do point hundreds of spammy links to their competition as well as numerous blog postings of their competitors websites trying to get them blacklisted and or banned by the SE's.
Try going to seoblackhat.com and reading the post on google-bombing, MattUK. It's not a nice thing to do, but I think it might be possible to at least slightly hurt your competitor's rankings.
I've heard of google bombing, but not actually seen any evidence of it getting a competitors site banned.
omg site sabotage, instead of trying to make more profits, some people just choose to make others profit less
Like I said, I've never actually seen an example of someone successfully sabotaging a competitors website.
I'm not sure your site dropping one position would have been due to a couple of bad IBLs. If you'd have received a penalty you'd have dropped a lot more than one place.
the time i posted that thread my sites rank dropped from #3 to #5 andthen i reported about this to MSN, they removed those free blogs on MSN and within 24 hours i was back to #3
I'm still not convinced, firstly that's a hell of a reaction time from MSN, normally if you report spam to them it takes weeks/months to get removed. Secondly, if you were getting penalised from having those sites link to you (which I don't believe you were) you'd probably be seeing a drop of 50+ positions rather then +/- 2 which just looks like normal ranking fluctuations to me.
Well i was also surprised on their reaction which was within 24 hours andi never got a email before from MSN
