I'm putting up a (US)$10,000 bounty for the names, positions and geo-locations of the Google moles that alter the SERPs for friends, family and/or for pure profit. I am certain these individuals exist and I will have your jobs, it's only a matter on time. The final straw was when a site of mine was sent into the blackness for local searches. The site indexed within the top twenty for all keywords and phrases (and still does at all data centers beyond the local one). I have a good idea who is behind this (a local advertiser/competitor) and the connection they have inside Google's Boulder Colorado location. To collect the bounty, this call ONLY goes out to current Google employees (or ex-employees with active connections within Google) who can identify by name and employee number said offenders, collect data on their actions over a period of 3 months (relative to manipulating the search results beyond the webmaster guidelines) and restore sites to their original position in the index prior to the moles actions. PM me for more details. PS... Any webmaster or site owner who believes you too are a victim of Google Moles and have solid theories why you think you are, please PM me with your details. I will add you to the database of sites that should be reinstated to their correct indexing in the Google SERPs once we have our bad guys/gals identified and associated data collected.
WOW..you really went this far to hunt them down.. Well, good luck in finding them.. $10000 is a huge sum.
Interesting concept, I have had times when clients phone to thank me when they see themselves at number one and I see them at three. But this one is far more interesting.
You must not be that great of a SEO consultant then to not know that different data centers supply different search results. REFUND!
why not just get a new site and spend 10k in SEO and marketing to get the site ranked high? if you are thinking that you are gonna find a snitch within google who not only turn in their co-worker by name and employee number, but also set the index back to its previous position leaving trail to be exposed later, you are dreaming.
Can I have their names so they can give me good SERP's and PR ...only kidding, I'm whiter than white (yeah right!)
