How can I contact google? Someone is negative SEOing me!!!!

    As my site falls further down page two, I'm growing more concerned. Someone is constantly creating thousands of spam blogs on Blogspot, and linking them all to my site, PhenForum.com.

    I see the links in Google webmaster tools, and most of the blogs are shut down, but since my rankings are falling below spammy and low quality sites, I have to assume that I'm being punished for this spammer's negative SEO attempt.

    How can I contact google to report it and ask what to do?

    Google won't do anything about it. Trying to contact them would just be a waste of time.

    lol Alex, just Phentramin. It's illegal to sell Phentermine online....

    GuyFromChicago - any other suggestions? Am I screwed or is there some way to fight back? This guy is slamming thousands of spammy links to my site and google keeps lowering my ranking

    I think this is a very difficult situation because the bad guy use external factors that beyond our control. Try to contact Google team by explaining your current situation via the webmaster tools (email or phone if available). Yes, I know it will be difficult. But it's better than do nothing. Just give it a try.

    I don't think contacting Google will help but you would think it is not that easy to sabatoge someone site. Hopefully they don't count against you.
