Review sites, adwords, marketing of prog sites.. BS!

Lets see what the general webmaster thinks, maybe some program owners can give some input too.. I know a few program owners have very strong opinions about this already; it?s a rising subject & issue for a lot of owners.

Review sites, adword buyers, etc.. Nailing down our domain keywords for our sites. As an example keywords: bustyamateurbobos and busty amateur boobs

While currently bustyamateurboobs I have the #1 slot, it?s not always that way. With busty amateur boobs as the keyword I?m not on the 1st two pages, I used to have #1.

My thing with review sites is, so many different review sites, and they all end up taking over my direct domain keywords, people 100% for sure looking for my site. The visitor ends up going to the review site, and can end up seeing other boob sites with better reviews. IE: My traffic is being told my site is only okay, but here is a better one you should join. Same basic idea for people buying adword slots for my domain names. Same BS goes for people advertising other paysites on adwords with my domain name keywords.

I feel I shouldn?t have to pay for this traffic, traffic that should be mine anyway. Traffic I 100% had before review sites came out. So as a normal webmaster, if you sent a visitor, I cookie him, ip, all that jazz for tracking. Then he comes back later to join, types in busty amateur boobs in google, can?t find my site so he goes to a review site, clicks the link, and now no longer belongs to the original webmaster who sent him. How the hell is this fair to anyone? How much more does this happen on rather large sites / programs?

Thoughts?

Btw, as a side now. If you build a gallery, a free site, etc. and you end up taking over my keywords, and you advertise other sites on your site, then so be it. At least they don't say the other sites may or may not be better. Hell, I don't know if I want traffic that should have went to other boob sites in the first place....... Just my thoughts.
