    As the name suggest it is the task where we drop the rankings of the website which we build through SEO.It is the reverse process of SEO ,it is the process of depopulate the website which we carried out through SEO.This is a fault technique and should not be carried out or else it will have an negative impact on the website.

    Reverse seo just means you analyse your competitors and try to beat his on-page and off-page seo.

    Reverse SEO means you analyze your competitors search engine's results and do negative optimization of your competitors to decrease search engines results.

    If Google cannot help then what else? :) Just the first link on "Reverse SEO" already explain very well of what this is. And Clinton Cimring supposedly invented this approach.

    It sounds very unethical to me, but I guess people are paying big bucks for it and companies are offering it.

    It is a process of burying/removing a certain website from the SERP. Usually this is done with ORM (online reputation management). Some say it’s about – researching your competitor’s SEO efforts – analyzing their title tags, meta description, PR, links to their domain and links to a URL found via a search query for specific keywords or keyword phrases.

    Reverse SEO is the process of removing (technically de-ranking) websites other than your own from the first pages of Google.

    Reverse SEO has become one of the most effective strategies for minimizing the impact of bad publicity within the search engines’ organic listings. It is an online reputation management (ORM) tool of SEO consultants who manage Online Reputation Management. Too often, companies become targets for negative press online.

    Reverse SEO can be used to suppress negative publicity that targets your company in Google, Yahoo, and Bing. By pushing bad press onto the second, third, and fourth pages of Google, those pages will be prevented from gaining traction or attention.

    I am thinking if Google and other search engines have such algorithms to detect why a website is losing rankings so quickly. I mean one tool to just check if there is any reverse SEO tactic being implied to de-rank any particular website. Just like Google tracks down other black hat techniques. What do you say ?

    Reverse SEO: (the act of rendering a search engine's results optimal by decreasing the rank of potentially negative results or bad press) "the simultaneous optimization of intended results while decreasing or eliminating unintended results"; "in an optimization problem we seek values of the variables that lead to an optimal value of the function that is to be optimized"; "to demote the optimization and diversification of a search engine result.

    After reading this thread, actually first time I came to know of this term. So, i searched on Google and got a complex definition which is posted by David Acer. Though, still not clear as to what it means and is it something that one can actually do.
