Getting sued over search engine cloaking
 

Well, one of my scripts apparently had this womans name in it. I can see how the name got in, it contains one of my broad keywords that I used to harvest the others. Anyway she says I've destroyed her life and she's talked with the NY state attorney general. As of now I've redirected all my traffic from that script to her web page.

A C&D would have been nice. Anyone been in this situation before?

I would venture to guess that she didn't actually speak to the NY Attorney General. I call BS.

yeah just blow it off and dont send that traffic to a porn site... i wouldnt even send it to her home page, a blank page would be better

Were you actually served with a lawsuit?

No lawsuit yet. It wasn't to an adult site, but there were a few toolbar popups. Nothing illegal.

Probably nothing to worry about then. Is this person famous or well known?

since she is bitching about it, just send it to a blank page. I've had to deal with shit like that before, chances are its such little traffic that you wont miss it anyway.

thanks for scaring the shit out of me... heres a tip, dont use random peoples names.

Isnt it common knowledge not to use proper names in meta tags etc? Unless it's your own I mean..

tell her to fuck herself

It was some kind of opera singer. She's pissed cause my pages come up under her search results. Her relevant sites are above mine anyway.

Turns out I got less than 10 hits in june to her listings, most probably from her and her lawyer.

I wouldn't fuck with her. if she has money she can make your life a night mare. some people on this board gives great advice
( fuck her and shit like this ) wonder what it would be, if they were in your shoes.

Nah they're just talking shit to scare you off. Tell her to suck a cock.

I just redirected the spots I "stole" from her to her page. They only get 10 hits a month anyway. She's not pressing charges.

But my parents(who I still live with and am still paying off a massive lawyer fee from a seperate occasion) cancelled my cable internet and told me to get a real job.

So basically, time to find a new place or work out of starbucks :winkwink:

Sorry to hear that. :(

Starbucks would be cool, but not sure about all day there. I would be shaking too much from caffeine overdose to type after two coffees. I am a wuss when it comes to coffee. :glugglug

Yeah man I'm gonna have to continually order bottles of water or something. Then again I only work an hour a day max.

I think I'm just gonna continue working an hour a day from starbucks and keep all my checks coming to a PO box or a friends house. Then after I pay my debt to the folks I'll just get my own place.

So you never got served? Weird.

Bullshit. She would still have to prove financial damages. No case.

Yeah, financial damages from me getting 10 SE hits from her name. :1orglaugh

save any logs you have that show how many hits she sent you, you might need them.

Cluck

Tell the bitch to suck a cock

Juicy

Its already done with

And my mom decided to throw away my prohormones.

:thumbsup

haha you "ruined her life" with 10 hits :1orglaugh

You are going to prison probably. There is a new Federal law where cloaking web pages that damages the reputation of the person is a major prison time offense. You are so fucked!

she really must have had a ''great'' life before :Graucho

Devils advocate here.......

I'd take her seriously..not worth the gamble. I deal with this shit ALL the time with webmasters using my name to grab my SE traffic and it pisses me off . I do pursue it to no end......

I hate SE spammers and I really hate that some webmasters obviously don't trust the names of models that their sponsor actually Does offer, so they seek out other models names to promote their sponsors

:ak47:

Anyways...I vented :1orglaugh But I'd take her seriously if I were you.

Ivy

Ivy, for the record!!!! You're name is not on my keyword list.

On the otherhand, my keyword list is mine to compete with!

I don't use proper names anyway.

BTW, its between you, crazynakedchick and naughtJenn for Miss GFY.

Good luck!! Oh, post more pics :banana

i wouldn't do that, i'd just do what he did and redirect to her site and drop the keywords.

not like he's getting many hits anyways, not worth the hassle. someone stubborn with too much money might just go after you if you piss them off. after all they could use it as an opportunity to get free advertising on the local news...

Here, here!

Cluck...

HIt me up on ICQ... I got something fucken kickass for you.
