Saboteurs?

[Greg B]

Ever have a competitor or false friend try to sabotage your website or online service?

I see threads about this kind of thing all the time and wanted to know how you've dealt with it when or if it happened to you or a friend.

[freechess]

i usually cry then get over it

[Greg B]

You've actually had this happen to you? Sounds evil.

[_LB_]

Yep.

You can take down a site in the SE's too if you know what you are doing. I haven't done it though, I play by the rules of course

[Dutch Harry]

I do like to bend the rules when it comes to SEO i never done anything like that and i have never had it happening to me either.

Nah I will just normally cuss a bunch, then kind of calm down, figure screw charma will catch them someday.. always does..

I've something like that done to me with a site that were ranking well and almost got into trouble as well with the only affiliate program I was promoting on it. I can't believe the trouble that webmaster went through to try getting me into trouble.

I do not wish to describe the details as it won't help anyone to list out the methods here but I was able to kind of proof my case as other honest webmasters were implicated similarly and I managed to find some trails left behind.

I also believe in the karma thing about no debts being left unpaid so I know things will be taken care off by itself eventually and there's no need to waste my time trying to get even.

[ScreaM]

Never happened to me.

I do the same as Sleazy. Wait until they decided to DDOs your site, you'll tear your hair out.

I volunteer with a non-profit organization similar to burning man, it is basically an arts festival for the southeastern united states. they meet once a year and build insane art structures for 4 days and party our asses off, then burn everything

attendance is limited, usually capped at 1500. this year they had another volunteer helping with the website. he went crazy halfway through the ticketing process and decided everyone was out to get him, he ended up deleting the entire website, ticketing data and all

that was single handedly the largest experience of sabotage I have ever been a part of, we are still recovering from it

[seeandsee]

I found one fucker few days ago hot linking my banner (20kb) , he made 10k hits in 4 days, he redirect clicks from my banner to google! using some banner exchange network where he have 2mil credits so from there are coming those heavy hits.! I made him a nice banner to replace that one he is using

Usually I try to concentrate on the phrase "Cream always rises to the top"

[Greg B]

Lipshtich Lady you avatar is scaring me.

[porndragon]

Kharma? I could never understand it. People believe some cosmic force will wreak justice on someone who fucks people around. No one stops to think that if there was a cosmic force all that powerful then people wouldn't get the chance to fuck one another around.

What's with this 'latent justice' shit?

Kharma Shmarma, you better beat the snot out of your enemies with a baseball bat while you still have a chance.
