Announcing a new SEM Meetup for The SEMPO Vancouver Search Engine Marketing Group on September 13 2011 in Vancouver!

“From the numerous conversations and meetings I have had with Alex over the years as well as having the pleasure of co-founding SEMPO Canada with him, I can honestly say that his grasp and in depth understanding of SEO and SEM is some of the best I have encountered. I would highly recommend Alex as an excellent choice if you are looking for a professional search engine marketing specialist.”

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.
