Hello boys and girls!
im gonna tell you a personal case in which I am engaged, I do not expect you to give me solution, but damn, it's a very ugly situation for me :_
I own my business, I work online and I try to do everything without outsourcing... and.. hell I'm doing pretty well; the problem appeared 6 or 7 months ago, when my competitors hired a "SEO" to play against me...
this seo (or who hired him) came up with the wonderful idea of "smear" the name of my brand through internet with untrue and defamatory info, this seo was working on his own PBN (+50 domains) but anyone using ahrefs or any whois services can see all his webs.
I have not been giving too much importance to the issue, until I saw that he overtook me on 2 important keywords.
Now several questions .... since I had never been in a similar situation .... What should I do? Should I send all links profile to Google? Should I spend $ 20 in fiver and spam the list? Or maybe i need to work to simply create new backlinks?
I've always seen the seo as a road where we must not disturb other SEOs, even when they are in the same niche I like to keep a respect... but what to do in these cases?
apologize for my English is not my specialty!
