Yay!

Now will you stop the counterproductive and silly "Google-bombing?"

I completely fail to understand why you would want to give your site's Google Juice away to...let's just say, "example.com" just so that example.com comes up when somebody searches for some random phrase.

If you want to help Google users understand a company, please learn from the example of people who had something to say about McDonald's, Home Depot, or Starving Students Movers. Or SCO.

Put up a site about the company, get people to link to your site with the name of the company as the link text, and sit there in the number 2 or 3 spot calmly flipping the company the bird in your Description:. It's like being able to put your letter to the editor about them across from their full-page ad in every magazine in the world, for nothing.

Rule 1: Don't link to bad companies.

Rule 2: Write factual, informative pages about bad companies, when you have facts about them you would like to share.

Rule 3: Link to the pages you wrote according to Rule 2, and get others to do likewise.
