    HELP! Our site has been cloned by sleazy web operators named Neil and Jerry Brodsky. They are running a Google ad campaign that attacks our site (thetendonitissite.com) and our product. Here is an example of one of their ads:

    Don't Buy From The
    Tendonitis site. Their product is cheap junk made in China.
    www.infra-relief.com

    When we notify Google, they pull the ads down, but the Brodsky’s put them back up when the Google office closes in the evenings and on weekends. In addition, Google continue to let the Brodsky’s run their full Adword campaigns even though we have shown Google that they slander us on their site, are illegally using our material, have done this sort of thing to other companies, and that Jerry Brodsky has twice been convicted of felonies and has served prison time for fraud. Even though we spend tens of thousands of dollars each month with Google they refuse to act. Any suggestions as to what we might do other than sit on our hands and wait while our business is destroyed by a pair of criminal web operators with Google’s help???

    Have you talked to your Lawyer? I'd be trying to get an injunction.

    These are the changes that need to be made to this post. How do I edit or remove the first posting I put up.

    aaaah, the worm has turned and they don't like being named huh? The google cache will show the original text for awhile I guess but you could talk to Shawn, Rob and co about changing it.
