Did you know some of your blog visitors could be your enemy and they have weapons that could hurt you if you with google if you aren’t playing by the google rules rules?

Lately when I’ve been reading forums and someone complains about something that is shady or in the gray area about another site one of the usual answers is “just go report them to google!”

And sure enough it’s easy to report a site to google for doing things from selling text links to having their meta description being misleading to bunches of other things.

Here are two weapons your competitors and blog visitors have:

1. Google Report Paid Links Tool

2. Google Report a Spam Result

These forms are getting used OFTEN!

But I Don’t Spam

That’s fine, just a heads up that even if you maybe did paid links once upon a time and didn’t remove that page, or if you have something that isn’t up to speed on your site you might be reported.

Kill Your Competitor

Of course if you see someone ranking higher than one of your sites and implements paid links or paid reviews or misleading or keyword stuffed copy then you can use the forms to your advantage also.

Know Your Enemy

I can’t believe how many people still blatantly advertise paid links and other nonsense on their blogs.

I also thought it was interesting how many bloggers don’t know those 2 forms exist.
