PissedConsumer.com removed from Google index after YOUmozzer exposes link network
I got a call this morning from a client that had been extremely distraught last week about a negative review posted on PissedConsumer.com, saying that as of this morning the review is nowhere to be found in Google. When he called us about the review last week, it was in position #3.
We checked it out, and not only is that negative review gone, but PissedConsumer.com has been dropped out of the index completely, along with nearly 200 other domains that were part of a link network that YOUmozzer “Chris1″ exposed on the 22nd.
Chris1, an SEOmoz blogger, did some great research and quickly got the attention of Google, getting this site, and the others removed from the Google index completely. Hopefully Yahoo will follow suit quickly.

Many of our customers feel the Google made a good decision with dropping pissedconsumer.com. Any idiot with a keyboard can make up garbage under total anonymity and post. What’s amazing is this type link spamming is not new and the search engines have the technology to identify and eliminate it quickly. I congratulate the wise folks at Google.
