Don’t Mess with SEO Inc.

Posted by Shanti Braford - 11/05/05 at 12:05 am

… unless you have the legal budget to back it up.

Google Blogoscoped reported how SEO Inc. dropped out of Google’s rankings for virtually every SEO-related term, including their company name.

SEO Inc. fired back with a cease & desist notice.

Some people / companies will never learn.

After sending the cease & desist, Boing Boing eventually picked up the story.

A tiny little weblog post on a not-so-widely-read blog suddenly gets BoingBoing’d after getting the lawyers involved, and probably tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of Boing Boing readers now have a negative impression of SEO Inc.

    What makes you think my blog is “not so widely read”? I’m in the Bloglines Top 200, and I was in the Daypop Top 100… :)
    But hey, thanks otherwise — you’re definitely right being Boingboinged etc. *highly* increased the visibility of this issue, far beyond anything it would have been before.
