Google Algorithm Update Needed To Remove Scam Sites

We posting this because of a recent issue we had with a company online that dominates Google’s natural listingsĀ  for competitive search terms. The company in question is ProjectorLampCenter.com and they rank very well for terms like “projector lamps”, “projector bulbs”, etc.. They are a known scam site and you can read all about our report and others at RipOffReport.com.

The question in hand is that natural search results have been and should always be trusted results, due to the fact that you actually have to work and genuinely care about your site in order to rank. Any one can pay for rankings in PPC on Google or other search engines to rank well but we have sold our services on the basis of customers trusting natural listings over paid listings. Due to potential customers trusting natural listings over paid, there is a higher click ratio, thus more visitors.

Companies generally do not start off being great and then switch to a scam site, they usually have prior intentions. Maybe this is true maybe not. But when a company has been scamming people since 2006, why is Google still ranking this site well in it’s Search Engine Results Pages (SERP’s). If users can go to RipOffReport.com and find out if a company has a scamming report, why can’t googles bot do a quick check and see if they have a pre-determined amount of negative reports and decrease rankings accordingly. When a company resolves these issues Googles bot will recrawl and improve results.

I personally think this would be a great update into they’re algorithm and will reduce a lot of scam sites out there from continuing to make money. This could even be incorporated into the paid results, pretty sure they would never do that though.
