Non ethical question

Just came across my mind, it can happen to everyone. Not that I'm thinking to do this. I'm not that kind of person... But what to do in that case?

And question is.
What to do when competition send you bad black hat SEO and you get slapped by Google. Do you go Rambo on them and kill yourself first top 10 searches? And how Google handles this type of issue? I mean someone innocent will suffer.
 


excellent post sir.

but seriously, why not try it and then report back to us?
nobody knows exactly how google's algorithm works, so it just might work.
 
perhaps your over-estimate your 'blackhat seo' knowledge/skillz

and resubmit your site to g via the Webmaster tools for reconsideration. after making sure its not just getting sandboxed or google dancing.

But if your wield is good, go Rambo... noone on the first page is innocent.
 
Bro, it did not happen anything to me :)

This idea came as revers thinking on black hat SEO that i wanted to do on my website, and i know that i can get slapped for that. So i thought what if i slap or get slapped by someone else intentionally...
 
I really dont think negative SEO is possible. To test it, just google some random term, pick a result from page 3 or 4, and do your worst to it. Xrumer it to porn sites, whatever.

I had a small client site that jumped from 130 backlinks (all it needed to no1 for the small geographical terms it targets) to about 1300. Turns out some dmoz scraper had fucked up and replicated the companies listing accross numerous crappy foriegn domains. Had no noticeable effect for targeted terms what so ever.
Links disappeared again after a month or so, with no effect either.

This is just my experience, maybe im living under a rock and dont realize it - if you want reliable evidence do your own testing.

Just submit a reconsideration request through Google Webmaster and explain what you think might have happened.
