Sorry for the late replies.

@Subliminal – the site I’m talking about is competition for a client, so it’s not “bulangeala” it’s business.

@Miki – I haven’t accepted business through greentwinkie for a year now so if it’s banned it doesn’t mean anything for me. If you get paid to ban it, so be it, at least you learned something new..

And just because it’s unethical doesn’t mean it’s illegal, so keep the name calling for yourself until you actually know what true competition is.

There are too many people that think they have a “right” to a top ranking on the search engines. Your site is essentially using Google as a service, and lives and dies by the parameters set within their algorithm. That obviously comes with some risk and any smart website owner knows that.
