Well for what it worth we find most but not all people in our space (Reptile shows and kids parties) have keywords in their title tags and at or near the top of the page and usually in the H1 or h2...

Yes, we have been at the receiving end of reputation management attacks via the web.
In over 30 years myself and my business built up an excellent reputation as leaders in our field (reptiles) and...

Dear all, in the recent past we have taken a harder line on imitators bootlegging our registered trademarks for SEO. As a result we have successfully forced removal of backlinks using our registered...

I read somewhere on the web there were about 200 against them at any given time. Noting the size of the company and their reach and power, such a number would not surprise me.
As to the merits of...

Dear all, this case has significant ramifications for all businesses working and competing in both the adwords and SEO/organic space, on Google and other search engines in Australia and also...

Dear all,
I might also add that if Google does not find out a link is paid, it must by definition be assumed to be in effect, "natural".
My guess being that most paid links are not detected by the...

Changing the tack slightly, in most businesses including ours, the best source of clients are existing clients and referrals from them.
If you look after them, the business will virtually look after...

Aunt Mollie,

you are probably correct about the WHOIS material and public access, but I must say that we have found it invaluable over the years to track down cyber crooks, trademark bootleggers...

dburdon, I am in agreeance here.
Now to change the subject slightly, there seems to have been quite significant stability (no change) in SERP results in Bing of late (last few months).
Are other...

Bob, I'm not denying Google has access to this information. Most SEO analysis sites come up with this data as a matter of course (although you sometimes see sites being linked that are not and vice...

We saw changes in Google SERP results for a lot of searches that only change when they update. This usually happens about once a month and usually at or near the end of the month. This appears to...

When looking at backlinks from sites to competitors using our registered trademarks (with the aim being to beat us in...

Sorry to dissent, but I have seen others in our business space use bogus or mini sites with content and backlinks running to the main domain and getting great SEO benefits. We copied them in a tit...

CBIL360 - The question is probable best placed elsewhere, but I can say from experience, Google has trouble telling what content is owned by whom so rarely deals with protests about copyright.

We had similar sites on different domains based in Melbourne Australia...
