Don’t Mess with SEO Inc.
May 11th, 2005 by Shanti Braford… 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.
