Being 'blackhat' is about using your head to out perform your competition right? How long do you think it will take for my competition to be de-listed/banned from Google if I started doing this: Running through the 'stealth' of proxies I would click on my competition's Adsense ads about 200 times a day (macro). In Google's eyes would this look like the website owner is trying to generate false clicks and therefore a breach of Adsense T&C's. Which would (hopefully) lead to him being banned from appearing in the SERPS. Should I do it?
I have another suggestion: why don't you post your website here, so we can clickbomb you... instead of clickbombing your competitor. Try to find out why they rank higher than you and then do better!!! Greetz
I knew this thread would get that kind of reaction. That is why I asked 'should I do it' as it can be deemed ungentlemanly. Thanks for your input.
Lol man... Just use your genius brain to eradicate or even exterminate them.... Brain do the action...
That's so blackhat man. Even though it's really unethical but no one can stop you since it's not illegal, so you can do it if you want. However, Google isn't stupid. Even if you use proxies the owner can appeal and they will investigate. Sure they might not have adsense for a while but they will get it back. You could also attempt sand-boxing them but you will not get anywhere really, since they will only come back stronger the harder you hit them (albiet they will take more time the more crappy links you throw at them). The best way to beat the competition is to... beat the competition. If I were to talk ethics I say'd don't do it because what if someone does the same thing to you? Doesn't feel good right? And that's my 2 cents.
Use your brain in constructive manner.. and you'll do great.. Always remem.... WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES BACK AROUND....
You don't earn nothing attacking to your rivals, perhaps they lost his earnings by adsense, but they easily takes new advertisements like CPA o direct sales... You could make hurt them but you don't gain any advantages of that, they will stay in the same position on search engines. Thinks different, if you want to defeat your rivals, try to spy them and know exactly what they do to eanr money and get better positions,that's a better option to get some profits of them
You should look into the lawsuits filed in recent years where lead companies did exactly this kind of thing.
No, don't do that it is a chicken feathers move... man up, out work him, out backlink him, monetize your site better, build more pages on your site, make your site an authority site, generate more keywords that you can rank for... I could go on and on but I believe I made my point.
Even if you managed to "eradicate" the current competition it would only be short term because new competitors would appear and take their positions while you will still be in the same position because you wasted all your time attempting to get rid of the competition. Instead, work on the strength of your own site, that is the only long term solution.
doing this would result in 2 things: 1. his site would still rank where it does, as SERPS and Adsense are two different things. Just because they are both of the same cmopany doesn't mean one effects the other in any direct way. 2. you will have completely cut your competitions adsense streams from his income. not just for the one single niche you can't beat him at, but EVERYTHING adsense related. Just because you can't beat him the old fashion way doesn't mean you should cut off his ENTIRE thing. this is worse than asking how to get a website blacklisted, you're not just wanting to beat him in a single niche, you're wanting to overall fuck him out of who knows how much income even things you are NOT related in, for no other reason than he being better than you at something. blacklist his website if you want, don't ban the poor guys adsense (unless ofc its in retaliation to something he started) However, keep in mind. if he HAPPENS to drop rank due to blackballing tactics, and then suddenly you take over, he can easily put 2 and 2 together, and can do the exact same thing to you.
