Worrying that it works! But along the lines of what lagger said, once you've come back from it you'll possibly have a boost in the rankings. I view this as only a short-term thing. I defo wouldn't blast a negative review, as I wouldn't want it coming back more powerful at a later date.
Anyone can kick my ass @ $5? Seriously?

I guess some good things also happen in fiverr. Today I checked the profile of that particular guy who was providing the gig. His gigs are gone, I guess fiverr has removed them. I saw it 2 days before with 7 orders in queue.

yeah but in this case you can be traced via your domain name, will be easy for your competitor to know who you are

Very interesting post here. I guess it's a big risk. Im interested in hearing if anyone has done this for at least 6 months time to see results. Good luck!

Just test this on one of your website, you'll see if it works or not
Or on another website that is not in your niche, to avoid problems...

No one "comes" back from anything post penguin. I have yet to see a site return to anything close to their previous positions, no matter how much they spend.

I agree, I've got a ton of sites in my portfolio both personal and client based. I'm having a hard, hard time regaining what was lost with some sites. Even when the pundits say Penguin targeted x,y,z - the truth of the matter is that there was some random shit that got sluiced down the net turnpike, and good/bad sites got hit for apparently whatever trigger they set off off in the main production link inidice database Google serves out to the public.
For many of my clients, I''ve gone ahead and created satellite sites that will act as the ranking authority site and then just keep their old site as the reference site for business reference. It's far easier to create new sites and rank those, than to figure out what penalties were levied and why a site dropped off the face of the SERPS. Yea, we can identify the lack of title link diversity before penguin, but post penguin repair seems a lot harder that it has been before.
Oh, and don't be fooled that just because your links aren't getting production serp INDEXED, that they're not getting spidered and placed into the pre-prod sort index and recognized. Far to many people think of Google has this huge index of deliverable information, when in reality (and I know first hand for many reasons), it's a series of indexes that have cross relationship index pointers to feed what we see as the main index production that gets served up when you go to google.com
Penguin, to me, is about key identifiers which single out sites as being overly aggressive to manipulate website ranking in the serps. So yes, negative seo works depending on the level of authority your site commands. You want to be evil and do a case scenario? Forget 20k profile backlinks daily, go get 10k backlinks from known bad XXX porn communities and watch a site tank faster than a senior going down on you at prom night. This was standard REAL blackhat SEO stuff back in the day to manipulate rankings. I never did it, but know far to many people who did. The same type of folks who built doorway pages based off of php scripts to single out keyword search hits from google and serve up cpa or adsense ads.

So does this mean people are going to start selling sandboxed domains so others can 301 direct their competition?

by the way, if you haven't seen this, even Matt Cutts references the real existence of negative seo.
"People have asked questions about negative SEO for a long time. Our guidelines used to say it's nearly impossible to do that, but there have been cases where that's happened, so we changed the wording on that part of our guidelines. "

So are you saying that there hasn't been one person who regained their SERP after penguin?
OR
Are you just talking about someone who got hit with a negative seo blast?

I don't really believe in negative SEO, although a $5 ass kicking fiverr gig sounds awesome

To those who say Negative SEO is good because it will force google to revert to it's previous position I think at this moment are incorrect. The community wide consensus is that Negative SEO is real and it works. The problem is, google has yet to even admit to it or acknowledge anything about it outside of that paltry statement by Cutts.
I think there are certain qualifications that white list a site Google respects from being affected by negative SEO, couldn't probably couldn't care less if a bunch of BHers blast their five page affiliate sites back and forth into oblivion.

Is it illegal to do negative SEO? Say i bought that Fiverr gig, would i be braking the law? I presume not but wanted to know your view points
