Sorry, but there was a guy earning millions just because he had the worst customer support. That was his job, to be rude, aggressive and an ass to customers. Really google even changed it's algorithm due to people like him.

Telling everywhere, that domain abc.org sucks would result in domain abc.org beeing ranked top, heh. At least it was a creative way of fraud and motivated google for a move, otherwise google would have lost reputation due to that guy too.



Yes, and that guy (Vitaly Borker of DecorMyEyes.com) has now pled guilty to two federal counts of sending threatening communications, one federal count of mail fraud and one federal count of wire fraud.

Do not try this at home!


Yes and it's good that he finally gets into prison for acting like a fraudster. Don't see a reason to downvote me because you don't like him. No logic in there.


Apparently the owner of the site in question has the same mindset: http://i.imgur.com/gYcys.png


Sorry don't judge without hearing an opinion. I don't share that guy's mindset. I've just pointed that the bad guy business model exists due to google's ranking algorithm, which has changed recently.

However it's clear that this is very bad practice and shouldn't be tolerated by the public.
