Backyard Tailgating

Re: Backyard Tailgating

I have been informed via e-mail by someone from buyshade.com that they don't appreciate having their business linked here . . . some drivel about "unnatural links" driving down their Google ratings.

Apparently they don't want your business.

I'm extremely tempted in order to allow them to continue in their apparently uncomfortable lesson in trusting Google to manage their corporate reputation.

But I'll be (relatively) nice. This time.

Does Google reward them with a higher rating if their clicks come from a Google search? If so, I would have to wonder what's more important, the Google rating or selling more products.

How did businesses ever survive before Google? Oh that's right, they sold their stuff. Seriously, you'd turn away customers in a tailgating thread, the perfect demographic for your goods, just to appease your advertising in hopes of attracting those same tailgating customers.

I'm not argeeing with them. Seems silly to me. I just get the overall big picture of a business caring about its reputation.

Re: Backyard Tailgating

I'm half-tempted to ask for their link so I can post them on my Facebook page... just to tick them off. What a bunch of yahoos.

Not your mistake. Not really even the tentmaker's fault really, except as I noted their trusting the judgment of the likes of Google in regards to their online reputation. Google is the instigator here. "Don't Be Evil" my ass.

(Of course, in a truly just world, I would have suffered some kind actual damage as a result of this, giving rise to a cause of action against what could be construed as Google's defamation of this site. Google's got really, really, really "deep pockets.")
