We believed Google all these time but we wanted to test it recently. We took a main tail keyword where our client ranks position 12. Our client wanted us to push into top 10 results. So we tried our secret weapon against our competitors. We added a bunch of low quality links from sites deemed low quality by Google. Just added 30 unique links from different sites to each competitor and BOOM within 2 weeks we saw the competitor sites drop 6 to 8 positions. One competitor dropped from position 6 to 14 other dropped position 9 to 17. Well it can be a coincidence but there was no update during the time we tested and those sites were sitting there for about 2 years. So what Google is claiming is truth we don\u2019t know, but we believe we can sabotage a competitor rankings but pushing low quality links. When I say low quality links the links we added are from good pagerank pages and they are strong themselves but come from a negative area.<\/p>\n<p>We wish Google seriously looks into this issue. If you think I am lying we don\u2019t care but it is 100% true we tested and the results are positive. So why disclose a secret weapon? LOL we don\u2019t want to take it as a weapon we just tested we prefer to do SEO search engine friendly way. We tested this to bring awareness to people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you disclose the test results?<\/strong><br \/>\nOfcourse NO. We don\u2019t want to keep our client\u2019s rankings and online Business in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-11.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1039]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1041\" title=\"Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-11-201x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-11-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-11.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-1-of-11.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1039]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1044\" title=\"Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-1-of-1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-1-of-11-201x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-1-of-11-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-1-of-11.jpg 412w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-2.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1039]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1045\" title=\"Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-2-201x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-2-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-2.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-2-of-1.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1039]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1046\" title=\"Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-2-of-1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-2-of-1-201x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-2-of-1-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/www.searchenginegenie.com\/blog-seo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Operation-kill-competitor-successful-SEO-Cartoon-Part-2-of-1.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has long claimed no one can hurt a competitor site.
