From this, Google could then adjust their algorithms accordingly and send the site back to where it really belongs.

Have I seen this before? Yes. What should you do? Choose. Here are a few options. [*Note: Hat's are according to GOOGLE laws, not ethical choice...] 1. (Being nice..Gray hat) You can let it go and continue on in life. 2. (A little mean...white hat) You can submit their site to Google as a violator. 3. (Very mean...'black hat'; I'd seriously never do this) Contact the company via email or phone and talk to them. Black mail them. To link to your website for 'business insurance' if your trying to rank for it. If they don't. Report them. :x I've seen worse 'spamming' tactics done. Doorway pages left and right. Yet Google is ranking them. I chose #1 because they weren't hurting anyone (they were ranking #1-11 for their company name). They rank #2 in florida (signed out…of Google).

[*Note: Hat’s are according to GOOGLE laws, not ethical choice…]
1. (Being nice..Gray hat) You can let it go and continue on in life.
2. (A little mean…white hat) You can submit their site to Google as a violator.
3. (Very mean…’black hat’; I’d seriously never do this) Contact the company via email or phone and talk to them. Black mail them. To link to your website for ‘business insurance’ if your trying to rank for it. If they don’t. Report them. :x

I’ve seen worse ’spamming’ tactics done. Doorway pages left and right. Yet Google is ranking them. I chose #1 because they weren’t hurting anyone (they were ranking #1-11 for their company name).
