What can I do if a competitor is spamming?

Laura Thieme from Columbus, OH says “A client has a leading competitor who has created 100 or so blog sites with little depth – Google gives them top ranking on every related term to their industry. Why does this tactic win? I thought this was crap hat tactics?”

This ‘crap hat’ at a phrase Danny Sullivan used in a recent conference, he’s just annoyed when people do spamming junky stuff that doesn’t really help anybody on the web. So Laura, do a spam report and give us some specifics because, I’d love to check it out. I think our scoring does pretty well on finding out links that we shouldn’t be crediting but we love to get new data on things that we should be doing better or link exchanges that don’t appear to be diffusing if they are really really excessive. So send a standard report so that we can check it out because that’s the sort of stuff we love to get and we’ll see where it goes from there. Thanks!
