| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | Suzanneh | 1/26/13 9:00 AM | Another thing you might want to do is present Google's Guidelines to the Court and show how the SEO company strayed from the guidelines? http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35769 And particularly: http://support.google. |
| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | travler | 1/26/13 9:07 AM | Good point, Suzanne. Also, Jason, did you ever get an unnatural warning email/ notice in Webmaster tools? |
| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | mundabit | 1/26/13 9:47 AM | Hi Suzanne Sorry to hear about your problem. Firstly, I assume you know your site is in effect down and largely deindexed. You are correct that an SEO company is as liable for negligence/loss of business as anyone else. They are simply a business to |

| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | mundabit | 1/26/13 9:47 PM | Fulfilment of contract may be an issue but not always the only one. Judging that can involve points mentioned below but hypothetical anyway. Few cases are worth taking to trial, normally better to settle before then. Let's assume however you have a p |
| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | Becky Sharpe | 1/27/13 2:33 AM | Sorry things have gone badly for you, and hope you achieve some sort of resolution. Great advice from mundabit - he's well positioned to be offering guidance, almost certainly knows more about the area than anyone else here. |
| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | Suzanne Thorpe | 1/27/13 6:06 AM | Thanks Mundabit There is some really useful info there. I have deliberately not included the company name due to the issue of it going bad! Although I have no specific knowledge of SEO, I am experienced in going to the small claims court for other is |
| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | Becky Sharpe | 1/27/13 6:29 AM | No Google employee will pass comment on anything that is likely to go to Court.

| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | Robbo | 1/27/13 7:03 AM | For what it's worth, I too would add my voice to that --- mundabit has a lot of direct experience in this sort of thing and great expertise. Robbo |
| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | mundabit | 1/27/13 7:49 AM | Possible yes but will need a fair amount of work, with no guarantee at the end of that. There are older complications which might have been able to be left in normal circumstances but you will now need to tackle, along with the more recent problems. |
| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | Suzanne Thorpe | 1/27/13 8:47 AM | Mundabit, Thank you again for your time to comment. As you seem to know who it is that we are in dispute with, that speaks volumes, clearly they are building quite a name for themselves.The funky domain is valuable as all our other interweb sales cha |

| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | Lysis | 1/28/13 11:10 AM | If you spam Google's own forum, how good can you possibly be? How many clients' sites did you get curb stomped from your spamming? |
| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | JHLeeds | 1/28/13 11:15 AM | Lysis, We rank just fine for what we need to, and so do our clients.

| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | seo101 | 1/28/13 12:35 PM | JHLeeds - you tried to link drop your company here --> that makes you a spammer and trolling for business against the forum guidelines. You quite rightly opened yourself to ridicule. |
| Re: Bad SEO now going to court against company | Lysis | 1/28/13 12:42 PM | And we're actually supposed to believe that he was going to just hand over data to the OP and ask for no money or solicit for any business. Must be why he deleted his post shortly after posting it. I wonder how many other people he's tried to "help" |
