Last year I got in a fight with a web Design Company over my pricing, the other web design company felt they were in charge of how much I should be charging and I felt as the owner of my business I was in charge. As sparks flew in the end it appeared I’d won, however that was not the case.

Not long after the insentient I started getting phone calls from concerned potential clients about rip off reports being filled against by company. The customers had names I’d never heard off and there was no way for me to contact anyone to find out what was going on. Rip off Reports, refuses to remove any information once it is posted on their site, unless you want to pay some money under the table. That’s how they support their business.

I wasn’t about to pay money to have a list of complaints from fake customers with fake names that I knew nothing about removed. I decided to go about running my business and ignore them. However their tactics are a bit sneaky, they target the company’s name, something that is easy to rank for and get’s the company’s attention pretty fast.

I’ve since done my best to ignore them, however, I was once again attacked by the competition over a misunderstanding about a site that I did not own nor had anything to do with. The company in question thought I was attacking their name and decided to return the favor by attacking mine.

We got the whole thing sorted out but I decided it was time to put an end to all these attacks. My next couple post on this blog is going to be talking about the steps I’m taking to protect my name and to keep the competition away from it.
