someone publishing me to google??? - 5/4/2004 15:00:17   
If my competitor for search engine positioning constantly harrasses google by submitting my site to them 50 times a day, how would i know? I just lost major ranking for some reason and my ranking can't pass page 47 in google and this has been gogin on for about 3 months and I did nothing to teh site. Can someone dilebertly harass google and pretend it is me and get me poor positioning?

Google claims there is no penalty for oversubmission. Being somewhat a Google skeptic, I have to wonder about that.

I will not bring up the methods here, but there are things that can be done to hurt another site.
To quote Google:
quote:

There is almost nothing a competitor can do to harm your ranking or have your site removed from our index. Your rank and your inclusion are dependent on factors under your control as a webmaster, including content choices and site design.


It's that almost nothing margin that can be worked with.

I doubt it's down to your site being over-submitted. I think it would have more to be with the fact that most hosts use shared hosting, and someone on the same IP address as your site has been harrassing the services, and brought down the general Google rating for that IP address.

But if you have a dedicated server, you should look into your visiting traffic, look at the sources. if people are coming from the infamous "illegality" sites then that mught drop the rating on your site.

If I'm totally out of the court, someone smack me round the back of the head:)

Unless your in a very competitive area ($$,$$$ or more per month) then it is more than likely you have just been surpressed due to an algo change by Google.

Mojo hit the nail on the head :)
Why not put your url in your profile so when you ask questions related to seo, we can take a peek before replying:)
