Re: Why does Google allow Pissed Consumer to rank so high

[Jay Bale]

You answered the question perfectly. You are correct in all assumptions in my book. I do however believe Google will take care of the issue very soon. Penguin 2.0 may be the answer.

It gets much worse if I may so.
 
Image someone you cant identify makes a huge site about how bad your company sucks, then goes and gets it to climb in the organic serps under your business name. A few months later, the site is magically for sale, and the company being extorted is the only one that has a interest in the site. Pure extortion 100%. If Google does not a get a handle on this it may spiral even worse and very soon.

Private email me to see this extortion I speak of  - I don't want too much attention going to it.

I'm glad to see some raving about this, it's about time.

 Why does Google allow PissedConsumer.com to rank so highly? Clearly this is an extortion site. Once your in their sites their PissedConsumer review turns up on page 1 Google and the only way to deal with it is to pay PissedConsumer.com a monthly fee to manage your bad reviews. http://www.pissedconsumer.com/business-solutions.html This is in sane!

While doing some homework attempting to figure out how they get away with this I found this detailed summary on how PissedConsumer.com is scamming and spamming the search engines to get high ranking. Have look at this article here: http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/pissedconsumer-link-farm-dominating-google-serps

For those not tech savvy here is what they are doing in a nut shell:

• Google ranks sites (page 1 verses page 2) based on the relevance of inbound links. 
• Pissed Consumer bought lots of other websites (RipOffReport is one of hundreds) and places links from RipOffReport to PissedConsumer
• Google sees these links and thinks RipOff is relevant to a Pissed Off Consumer - so they give them ranking credit. (highly simplified, but you understand)
  
• PissedConsumer then charges the business mentioned in their PissedConsumer report to help manage their poor reputation for a monthly fee. Think I'm kidding? Have a look for yourself: http://www.pissedconsumer.com/business-solutions.html

Think of the thousands of large companies paying PissedConsumer $250/month to "manage" their consumer comments? Can you say extortion?

Pissed Consumer = Web Extortion - it is that simple.

I think ever business in America should block Google on their firewall until they get their act together on this one.
