Well at least some of us made money from it while it was still up. I'm sending all my rep clients messages that it's been removed.

Thanks for the share.

[starcity83]

[flexnds]

Thank you!! I fuc*ing hate ripoffreport... That douchebag had been blackmailing for years.

 

[xboxps3wow]

anyone mind telling us what that website was about and how people made money of it?

 

[starcity83]

People could post on that site when they were ripped off by a company.

They make money mostly from ads. It's likely a temporary de-index by Google.

I mean, how did people use this website to make money.. like the guy above is saying.

 

[starcity83]

People made money by having several accounts and doing posting with high page rank back links from those accounts rip off report was usually a 6 or 7 PR site on Alexa.

Think about it...go to the website and see all the negative reviews. Do you believe that all of them are 100% true? Obviously not. People post fake crap about their competition in order to make more money for their business.

OR

They get paid to post negative crap about other businesses.

just to update. Matt Cutts tweeted that Google did not de-index ripoffreport. See the article Cutts linked to in his tweet here:

Actually they are back in the index now lol

 

[charlie3]

Yeah I see them in the index right now. Maybe a big mistake?

 

[dheer]

Google ripped off rip off reports LOL.

 

[jerzydawg]

I'm sure the account got hacked and was removed from Webmaster tools. Why would he want it removed from the Google index is beyond me.

Or someone found another exploit in the webmaster tools

I think this was somehow related to Mugshots being banned from BHW.

Maybe you were a little hasty with those messages.
