Ripoffreport.com De-Indexed?
-
I'm wondering if anyone else out there has noticed that ripoffreport.com has vanished in Google's index today (8-9-2011). Any input is appreciated.

And they're back. Shoot. What gives? Another loop hole?

Breaking news, I guess Ripoffreport removed themselves? http://searchengineland.com/ripoff-report-not-banned-but-removes-itself-from-googles-index-89000

Looks to be the case. Aaron Wall just posted about it: http://www.seobook.com/google-rips-rip-report-search-results

Interesting, I left a comment on Blumenthal's blog a few days ago asking if anyone has had to deal with spam/scam type reports from ROR. They are so annoying and frustrating. I've always wondered why they rank so darn high. I have a client who is really bothered by their existence and the 'fake' report on there. Doesn't look like all reputation or ripoff sites were slapped. Report Scam net still shows results.

also noticed that earlier today and was wondering the same thing. Will keep an eye on it for sure

Well, here's the million dollar question though. Is it truly removed from the index or some type of a temporary slap. I'm sure there are about 100 reputation management guys out their right now scratching their heads. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on this. I have been dealing with ROR for a couple weeks now and just working it the normal way buy SEO'ing sites/pages to push ROR down.

I just did a site: search and it does indeed look like it has been removed from the index.

Semrush.com Traffic Cost - What exactly does it mean?
Hi there mozzers..Been struggling with what seems as a simple question:
Competitive Research | | artdivision
Whilst using semrush to estimate competitors spend on Paid PPC it seems that the numbers they provide are way off from what reality is. For example, i have a client who spend approx £2,000 per month on Google PPC (so i know exactly the figure) however, the SEMRUSH indicates a monthly spend of $41 (yes USD). I7StmZG0 -
Creating Free Website Accounts (Weebly, Wix, Wordpress.com, etc) for Linking Purposes?
Greetings Mozzers, I came a cross several sites and when looking at their link profile I found they had several links from these free services to gain links. Obviously duplicate content is bad, but if all the content on each one was completely unique, would these links be of quality? Let's say, 1 link per site that is external to your site. I know it's a tricky topic but just wanted thoughts, would the above be a potentially beneficial method for gaining a simple quality link. Your advice and information is much appreciated!

Why is the Site indexed?
Hi, I'm trying to test a few things for which I've registered and set up new domains. For the set up I used Wordpress. Each Site has about three articles in it but no links pointing to them. Also I didn't take any measures to get my site indexed. However, one week later all my sites were indexed. Why is that and how can it be? I'm thankful for any answer since the problem is really ruining my test environment. The only clue I have, as to why this could be happening, is that I didn't remove the ping sites.Is that the reason? Or are there also other reasons? Thanks

Would buying the domain 'howtoget-a-girlfriend.com' help organically
for the exact search 'how to get a girlfriend' in google? How-to-get-a-girlfriend.com and howtogetagirlfriend.com are taken, so I just wanted to see if this was close enough to help google.
