Nice post peter_d! Now i know how they can sabotage your site by doing social bookmarkings..

Thanks for the tips sir peter!

another thing they can do is claim that a site has violated a copyright which you hold, and Google will be forced to deindex the site for 10 days. If by then you don't start a lawsuit, they are no longer obligated to keep the site de-indexed, but in many cases they wait to re-index it for quite some time.

I suppose the question is, who would do it and how often does it occur? Me thinks it prolly occurs more than we all think it does.

Hire a hacker to inject iframe redirects to malware sites which will stop Google traffic dead in its tracks. Even better, if its a blog then post malware links as the author of the comment. Possibly the easiest way to kill traffic.

Nice article! Yes it might be a reason because competitors would use any method to sabotage your site. Always be aware and check what would the competitors do to your site because your money depends on it.
