When it comes down to the fact the my competition receives more bookings because they come up on the 1st page of the SERPs and my site comes up on the 2nd or 3rd page of the SERPs, that is where I draw the line. There are 2 competition cabin rental companies in the North Georgia Mountains that both have 5 lines of hidden Title Tags. I copied & pasted those hidden 5 Title Tag lines and reported those 2 websites to Google & Yahoo. Both Google and Yahoo have done nothing about it, which really makes steam come out of my ears. Both of those sites, because of their Blackhat SEO Techniques, receive more cabin rental bookings, therefore, they receive more income which could have come my way if they played the rules correctly. I don't cheat and I play fair, I practice the appropriate SEO Techniques, don't stab people in the back, and don' get ahead like the cheaters and backstabbers in the world. I don't appreciate negative business tactics and feel all websites who pull these black SEO Techniques, should be totally taken out of Google & Yahoo Search Engine Indexes for 6 months. Maybe negative attention like that will be what it takes to keep these webmasters in line. And Google & Yahoo should get in contact with those webmasters and tell them directly about the punishment to be received. Marian, http://www.CabinsPlusMore.com
I do report sites that are blatant about it... In our industry a site has hundreds of doorway pages, and redirects and quadruple bought CPC and so they are so Back Hat you know their 3.6 million (yes million) visits are brought on by this... (they take up anywhere from 3-6 results in the top ten on major keywords both organic and paid... Google seems not to notice... so though it may do little we report...
