The problem here is the CDA. There needs to be accountability for posting defamation on the web. Not only should the person posting such information be held accountable but a website or search engine that refuses to remove such statements should also be held accountable.

Another approach is to try to effectively “push down” the rankings of unfavourable pages by promoting favourable or neutral pages that already rank on the first page for the search term.

@Veronica…. I think the concept of complaint sites is great. Giving the little guy a voice is a great thing. What I do not like is the way ROR is setup. The complain is presented on top of the page, with it’s big headline. If you respond to it, the response is almost hidden. It’s listed on the bottom of the page, beneath a bunch of ads. Most people will scroll down and once they hit the ads they stop. It’s natural as the standard page layout has ads on the bottom so people will associated ads with the end of the page and assume there is nothing beneath the ads. But that’s where a reply is hiding. So if some idiot posts a big heading “Joe is a KILLER!” I would bet that 90% of people looking up Joe would read that, and never get to the bottom of the page that says “Joe is not a killer and this is a false posting”. ROR layout design is meant to be damaging and prevents replies/rebuttals from being heard.

ROR does something to keep their site ‘current’. Other sites fluctuate in their rankings. When they’ve been updated they go to the top and over time they fade back and newer articles/sites come to the top. ROR is always on top. It must be doing something to keep itself current. Does anyone know how they do that?

@Martin: having complaints does not mean your site is bad…just as having lawsuits doesn’t mean your company is doing anything illegal. People complain a lot, and for a variety of reasons, but if ROR follows the rules set by Google, they’ll continue to be indexed. Matt Cutts of Google said at PubCon recently that he looked at ROR and he didn’t see anything wrong with what they were doing. So, they will remain on Google and whatever they’re doing to get high rankings, it works. My guess is it’s due to sheer volume and use of kws.

Why do sites like ripoffreport keep coming up high on search engine results? Why does Google tolerate a site so many people complain about???
