That was one of the spam sigs. I called the poor receptionist and told her to let the owner know that the SEO he hired is spamming the hell out of the world. That SEO is listed on the bottom of his site as http://www.influxseo.com/

WE HAVE PUT OVER 200 WEBSITES ON THE 1ST PAGE OF GOOGLE

Yeah, by spamming the world. There needs to be stiffer penalties for this crap. I am going to report these two...to someone, if I can figure out who.

Like, these links are poor, lacks relevant content lists, and are registered as bad domains, ie, with hindsight, an excellent spot for Spambot and other crap.

From Wikipedia page on SEO abuse...

Search engines may penalize sites they discover using black hat SEO methods, either by reducing their rankings or eliminating their listings from their databases altogether. Such penalties can be applied either automatically by the search engines' algorithms, or by a manual site review. One infamous example was the February 2006 Google removal of both BMW Germany and Ricoh Germany for use of deceptive practices. Both companies, however, quickly apologized, fixed the offending pages, and were restored to Google's list.

Sounds like targeting them where it would most hurt them, via the search engines themselves, is the best route. Although knowing your dealings with Google before... they're not the most responsive company to complaints, are they

Ok. want some more fun. I discovered both those domains are registered through GoDaddy! Here is the GoDaddy abuse form:
https://supportcenter.godaddy.com/Abuse/SpamReport.aspx

I reported both the fortworthplumbing.infon and influxseo.com as spammers, said there are hundreds of links in our forum and other forums in the network.

Feel free to post an abusive report to GoDaddy, it only takes 20 seconds and I love hitting back at these spammers!
