Kill The Competitor's SE Ranking In One Afternoon

By Sonja


Website owners spend hours pruning their website for Google, trimming the fat, ridding the bad URLs, etc.  Many website owners religiously read all the latest techniques to make Google happy.  Some website operators spend thousands of dollars to push your website down on search results.   Not everyone has the money to counter this kind of attack.  But, you do have options.  Cheap ones, too!


Did you know the commonly found lists of "don't dos" are really a list of "dos" for those websites you don't like?   How can you eliminated or lower the ranking of a competing website?  It can be done!   


The latest "technique" is to avoid posting your website on "link farms".  These "farms" exist for the sole purpose of linking to your website, then you linking back to them. A number of years ago this was a popular technique to gain the attention of Google.  Google caught on to this trick and now they use link farms as a list of "don't includes".    If you use a link farm on your website, kiss your website good bye in Google's search results.


But link farms only work if your website links back them.  Obviously you can't change your competitors website so that throws this whole idea out the window.  Or does it?  No, in fact, it doesn't!  You see, not only does Google hate link farms and the websites that link to them, they detest the whole link farm "web"!  So here's my "cheat" to destroy your competitor's website ranking in just one afternoon!


Step 1.


Create a couple of fake accounts on Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail.


Step 2.


Create a website using a free service such as Wordpress or Google Blogger.  You'll need your fake accounts from Step 1 to do this.  The website(s) is to be pathetically simple.  Throw in tons and tons of links to the website you are trying to crush. 


Step 3.


Add your newly created website to every link farm on the planet!



To increase the effect, post a message on the website you are trying to crush, if you can, and end your post with a link to your newly created website.  Within a few days, your competitor's website will sink like a rock and chances are they'll never know why.  You see, Google Analytics, a tool website owners use, won't tell you that you are banned because of link farming.  Even if the bad guys find out what is going on, they can hardly stop it since you can continue to create more and more links.  Now that's "Messin' with Satchsquash" baby!



Remove info from a Search Engine – Short term

By Jason

You can’t remove anything.  Don’t listen to what any other so-called “SEO Expert” says.  All you can do is push the information down further.

Here is a cheat way of manipulating the results of most search engines:

Low budget approach--

1. Purchase cinchHIT. It's cheap.  It works. It's easy.  Every website owner should have it!  cinchHIT was written after reviewing every other hit engine out there, so we made it to be MUCH BETTER than the others!

2. Set the program up (URL list tab) to contain the same URL as the one that does NOT contain your unwanted information.  For example, google your name + something.  Like:"my name" +goodstuff.  If the results are the ones you are wanting (without your priv info), copy-and-paste the URL on your browser (the Google/Bing/Yahoo URL) and paste it into the URL list of cinchHIT.

3. Go to HideMyAss and look for their IP:Port proxy address list.   Copy and paste into cinchHIT's Proxies tab.  You can edit the proxy file directly on your hard drive which may be faster, just keep the same format but delete the existing addresses there-- they'll be dead by now.

4. Set the program (Statistics tab) to the following:

Hits Per URL: 10000
Number of threads: 25
Delay: 10 seconds

Hit the "START" button and walk away.  This is a very similar cheat that those "removal" websites use.

You'll need to do this for many weeks, run it as often as you can.  Ta-da! Instant ranking.

The Effect:

You manipulate the search engine into believing people want your name associated with a keyword.  So eventually you can type in your name (in quotes) and those associated keyword elements will appear first.  You cannot remove the original, bad information.  Don’t even try, you’re wasting your time.

Warnings:

  1. Using your own IP instead of a Proxy list will cause Google to BAN your Ip/Mac from using Google.  Not good.  Obfuscate your PC as much as you can.
  2. It’ll take weeks of running this app over and over and over and…


 Remove info from a Search Engine—Long term


By Bryan

If you’ve researched how to remove info from a search engine then you already know the common ways of doing it.  Allow us to iterate:

  1. Ask webmaster to remove info.  Most won’t, especially hate machines—they love the drama.
  2. Go to the search engine’s “customer service” or “webmaster” page and follow their      instructions.  Google rarely removes anything.  This is one of the reasons why BING is becoming more popular as (surprisingly) Microsoft is more merciful.  Google is a liberally biased organization so if your information contains liberal topics, you won’t get the time of day from Google.  In fact, you’ll notice liberal websites will always get higher preference on their results.  Google has their “Favorites”.  They claim they don’t but we have antidotal evidence that they do with the DailyKOS hate machine being one of their favorites.
  3. Respond to bad info with good info. Hopefully someone with some intelligence will dig further to get the “other side of the issue”.
  4. Pay a service like Reputation.  Note these guys can’t do much more than push your information down 2 or 3 pages and for a lot of money doing some of the techniques we've already mentioned.  We’re talking thousands of dollars.  Save your money and go to step #9 instead, you’ll get better results.
  5. Write biographies on all the Biography websites.  Use your real name and real data putting you in a better spotlight.
  6. Write positive things on blogs using your real name.  Accentuate the positive helps eliminate the negative.  Constant… constant… constant writing on other blogs and websites is necessary, even for up to a year or more.   If the website you are trying to push down is real popular, it'll be very tough to get it to move.  If the website is a popular LIBERAL website, you'll never get Google to bump it down; even Reputation has problems with these.
  7. Your information will be on the search engine forever and ever and ever.  Nothing can remove it (we're working on this right now).  Don’t use your real name if you can help it, especially if what you say could be misconstrued and become the target of a hate machine on the Left or the Right.  The positive thing about this is—eventually every citizen on the planet will have a bad reputation because, face it, we’re not all perfect.
  8. Get an injunction in court against the Search Engine to remove the data.  Much harder, more expensive, but a definite solution.  You’ll have to get that injunction in the State that the Search Engine is based.  For example, Mountain View, CA is the location of Google and where you’ll need to go.
  9. Bribe a Search Engine employee to remove data.  This works and could cost you a few thousand dollars but we know of people who have successfully done this.  You’ll find employees on LinkIn.com.  Don’t be stingy; these people are putting their jobs on the line for you.
  10. Do press releases with your name in it.  You’ll usually have to pay for this but it works and it’s fairly inexpensive. 
  11. If the info listed about you is defamatory and the webmaster won't remove it, try the website's ISP.  Many Internet Service Providers have a set of rules they follow and many don't allow hosted websites to post defamatory information.  You can find out a website's ISP using this whois function.  This information could lead you to the ISP's own homepage and, hence, their policies.
  12. Support any legislation in the future that targets Search Engines and their contents.  For example, the "PROTECT-IP Act" currently in congress can be manipulated to shut websites down that have bad info about you using loopholes. This same bill could shut down Google's search engine (not necessarily a bad thing all things considered).

Remove an offending website permanently

By Jason

Everybody talks about how to use Google's commands to search for credit card numbers, free files, etc.  Those are stupid tricks worthy only of criminals.  We're not criminals, we're simply trying to remove information!  Therefore, Curious Internet has no interest in such childish behavior.
One way to remove an offending website is to "proxify" them.  This, of course, will remove the entire offending website from Google leaving their webmaster scratching his head.  There are work arounds for the webmaster but, like with radar guns and radar detectors, there's always another way to skin a cat (eww).
This is involved.  It is also a recognized problem with Google who has not yet figured out a sure fire
way of fixing it.  In fact, they've been researching it for over 2 years now and still have no real way around the problem.
You need:
1. Dedicated computer running Windows
2. Proxy server software
3. Web crawl software to copy the offending website's entire contents.
Instructions:
Set up the proxy server software, which is beyond the scope of this article.  Once you have set up the software, go to the home page of the offending webpage and start a crawl to copy the entire contents to a directory on your harddrive.  Using the web crawler is easy but beyond the scope of this article.
Now, set up your proxy to allow Google crawler to crawl web pages on itself. Make sure your web "URL" on your proxy has the same name as the offending website.  For example, if the offending web site is "hatemachine.com", yours will be "myproxyservername:\\hatemachine.com".
Modify the fake website's webbot file to "not index" and "not follow" all pages.  You can Bing for those instructions elsewhere.

Step up a local website on your dedicated PC.  Here are the instructions:

  1. Make sure you have cable modem, DSL or another high-speed connection. A dialup telephone modem is NOT good enough.
  2. Get a DNS hostname for your home Internet connection.  This is not the name of the offending website but a different name such as "byebyebaby".
  3. Get a static local IP address for your computer within your home network.   If you are using a router with DHCP, make sure you dedicate a single address to your dedicated PC.
  4. Configure your router to correctly forward connections on port 80 (the HTTP port) to your web server. Even if you think you don't have a router, you probably do— many popular cable and DSL modems include wifi or wired Ethernet jacks for multiple computers, which means they contain a built-in router. If your ISP blocks port 80, choose an alternative port number and forward that (or get a better ISP that welcomes websites at home.
  5. Configure Windows Firewall to allow your web server to communicate on port 80.
  6. Get Apache as your webserver.  This is beyond our scope of explaination but isn't that hard to do.  You will want to host a "copy" of the offending website on this machine.
  7. Test your web server from your own computer.
  8. Test your web server from a computer that is NOT on your home network to make sure you followed all of the steps correctly.

Next, make sure you add your website to the search engine's "Add URL" feature.  This will make sure the search engine crawls your website, otherwise they won't even know you exist.

Congrats, the offending website will  go bye-bye in the next few days.

How do you get around someone doing this to you?  Well, that too is beyond the scope of this article.  We don't want to give away that information as it'll help offending webmasters correct the issue.  But, should one figure it out then all you need to do is repeat the steps of recrawling their website and rewriting the webbot file.

Why does this work?

In a nut shell, by setting up a proxy server you are creating a faux ISP.  On this faux ISP you are creating a website with the same name as the offending website.  This duplicate website naming is what causes the problem with the search engines. Because search engines don't index sites based on their ISP server AND their URL name, they can be taken advantage of.  So simple a child could do it.

Now that this secret is out (less than a hundred people knew about it before this writing, we suspect), you'll now see a lot of websites disappear from Google, Bing, and others.

NOTE: As of 1/2/2012 we've tested this hack and it works on Google.  We are testing Yahoo.
