Incredibly this has worked 
Although when you think about it makes sense, as lots of people link to you when they complain about your site.
Surprisingly really I'd never thought of it, I guess it is because I just think this is so unethical the possibility of this tactic never entered my mind :rolleyes:
Sadly/fortunately this doesn't work now, as Google has adjusted their algorithm for it which is how I found out about it:
Official Google Blog: Being bad to your customers is bad for business
The New York Times drew Google's attention to the problem.
According to the Times story, the owner of DecorMyEyes.com boosted his site's prominence in search rankings by generating negative reviews from customers & the prominent placement of the site in search rankings generated more business, according to the owner of DecorMyEyes.
Naturally Google hasn't revealed the details of the adjustment to its algorithms, but I dare say we'll be noticing it? And with time hints might come out from the shifts in the rankings as to exactly what they might have done.
