@Frontier,
It’s sad to hear that your ranking drop to 7th page. I hope you can resolve your issue soon. Feel free to contact me if you got any question about SEO.

Wow, this is amazing stuff to learn. I have been facing a spamming problem since July, 2008. I am being target of a stalker guy that is upset when we helped his x g/f get away from him. He has since been sending our website submit form 30,000, 50,000, 100,000 fake quotes, etc. Using many other methods to get our site on a blacklist. We had very high ranking for Phoenix Movers in Google at that time but now drop to the 7th page. We have tried the FBI and other sources. We believe we are getting somewhere now. We will be seeing the Attorney General next week. We know who the guy is. Thank you very much for this valuable information.

@Agent 001,
Understand your concern. Actually my original purpose is to make you aware that there are such activities.

Wow! Nice post. Something new to learn.
But I think you should not have given the first point. Many will now learn about it. Some might use that method. It is very bad.

@Teddy,
Thanks for your great comments. You already graduated from NTU or still studying? I graduated from Computer Engineering, how about you? Keep in touch.

Some good points to take into consideration, unfortunately the web is a big place and there will always be those who try to take advantage of its weaknesses. I have always advocated shared content as a means to greater visability but I do insist on leaving at least one link back to the original author. The sites that I detest the most are so called scraper sites who add absolutely no value at all to the discussion.

Thanks for shedding light on these pitfalls, every one should be aware of them.
