“Alex presented a session at Educacentre for our start your own business program and everyone loved it. Among other things he presented, he showed our students how to select a keyword-rich domain name which was timely and relevant in the preparation of their business plans. Alex’s very dynamic 3 hours session taught the fundamentals in understanding Search Marketing to an engaged audience, who ask a lot of questions. His Powerpoint presentation was well structured and easy to follow. His deep knowledge of search marketing was very helpful to our students and we recommend other start your own business programs to do the same.”

Tattling /// Is XYZ (the competitor) doing well because they purchased links? If so, and it is something you can prove, then it is entirely within your right to tell Google using their sp@m report form. But will this work? It is touch and go whether your complaint will actually do anything in the short term because Google often collects these complaints and then upgrades its algorithm (if possible) to clean out other offenders using the same techniques; a more efficient process. That said, as Matt Cutts said in this video about link buying Google is not above occasionally using manual methods to clean out sp@m so you might get lucky and see an immediate result. This process is called tattling.
