    If that sort of thing worked to get sites banned, deindexed, sandboxed, or anything else in Google that was harmful then you'd have marketers doing this sort of thing ALL over the internet and where there was once a Search Engine, you'd have mayhem and only the most active, most malicious marketers would have their stuff at the top of the index, regardless of the quality of the site or any other factor that Google pays close attention to. Google brings in $1.5 BILLION dollars a quarter, up from the $1.25 BILLION it was bringing in at this time last year. If Google allowed marketers to sabatoge other marketers' websites by anything they could do manually to "hurt" them, they would be risking a $6 BILLION dollar a year business. Let me ask you: if this were YOUR money at risk, would you allow malicious pranks and underhanded marketing techniques to risk it all for you? Of course you wouldn't. And either would Google.

      Hi Jimerson,

      If your site was reported for unethical practices then your site would likely be reviewed and possibly banned if you are in fact violating rules.

      If you are doing nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about, as Angela alluded to, it's nearly impossible to be penalized due to the actions of your competitor. The prime exception is when your competitor reports you for violations that you are responsible for.
