A poll was started a few weeks ago by the Search Engine Round Table to see how people felt about reporting competitors for ‘black hat’ SEO tactics or spam.
The results, released late Friday, were surprising.
70% of those polled said they would NOT report shady tactics if they saw competitors using them. Among the reasons cited was a general consensus of an unwillingness to get involved, a reluctance to judge, and even a grudging admiration of SEOs who are willing to ‘black hat’ their way to the top.
