My company received a smear campaign threat from Profit by Search (the outsourced Indian SEO firm) after we decided to cancel our contract with them. They were not performing as they indicated they would. The only thing they did was provide us with 10 forum/blog spam links a day and charged us for 176 hours of work per month. Our server audit trail even indicated they had logged into our server only 5 times that month. Yet they billed us for 176 hours. Really?
As these spam techniques actually decreased our rank in google (we lost our google page rank 5 to 3), we decided not to engage them any longer. The moment we decided to cancel. One of their executives Abhinav Girdhar threatened to run a smear campaign against my small business. Who does that? Threaten a smear campaign against a client, because he refuses to accept poor performance and spam as the work he expected. Especially when I lost my page rank 5 because of the SEO techniques they utilized.
