http://www.sovereignfunding.comWHAT WE REQUIRE (We Will Pay For a Legal SEO Opinion Letter)
We are looking for a well known US-Based SEO expert to provide us with
their written expert opinion. The letter should state (common
sense to the members of this forum) what main things could affect search
engine results. For example;
a) Search engine results can be affected by your geographic location,
b) Search engine results can be affected by your past searches,
c) Search engine results could be affected by spyware, viruses, Trojans etc.
d)
Whether the individual doing the searches is personally logged into
Google, not logged into Google, logged in from someone else's account or
the computer is available to more than one individual who has
previously done Google searches.
The opinion needs to be on company letterhead, signed with a short bio
from the author and the writer needs to be a recognized a US-based SEO authority.
The opinion letter needs to provide easily
verifiable 3rd party references (citations) for each and every
statement regarding what affects search results.
The written opinion should be relatively short (less than 5/10 pages).
NON ESSENTIAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION (Why We Need This Opinion Letter)
Our company was accused back in late 2011 (by a significantly larger
competitor) of manipulating Google search engine results. The only
piece of evidence provided by the competitor was a screen captures of
Google search results from 2011.
The competitor alleges that
many of the Google search engine results were defamatory in nature and
that the results were being redirected to various website’s that were
owned and operated by our company.
We have never been able to
duplicate the searches that the competitor states were defamatory and/or
results that were redirected. For that reason we have requested a copy
of the data from the computer that was used to perform the Google
searches in question.
The competitor who made the accusation
against us has refused to provide any data from the computer(s ) that
were used to perform the searches.
The court system is turning
out to be very inexperienced on Internet search matters and it has
become clear that we need to have an independent SEO expert prepare a
document that independently verifies that a Google search result is
dynamic in nature and can be affected by numerous factors potentially in
a very short period of time.
We also need to show that simply
providing a screen capture of some Google search results that are well over a
year old is not enough information to be sued over and is definitely not
enough information for us to defend ourselves against if the court decides that this case is worthy of a jury trial.
These
accusations are frivolous and extremely expensive to argue against especially
when the complainant is a significantly larger company who has
much deeper pockets and the ability to spend substantially more on legal
fees.
BACKGROUND DOCUMENTS (Filed Legal Statements along with the search results in question)
1) A copy of the search results that the competitor claim were manipulated by our company. (See DOC1)
2) The competitor affidavit accusing us of manipulating the search
results. The competitor states that every time they click on the same
search result a different site would appear. (See DOC2)
3) The
competitor stating that they are "familiar with cookies, Internet
temporary files, and user-identifying information on the computer
systems of Plaintiff. Cookies are a file that indicates where a user has
visited during a period of time, and these are constantly changing as a
user searches on his or her computer. Internet temporary files cache
information from web sites change on a minute-by-minute basis. Other
user-identifying information on our systems constantly changes as well.
To the best of my knowledge, none of those files or folders would have
any bearing on the initial results of a Google search, such as I
performed for this case. Whether or not I had visited other sites, or
had cached information, I would have had the same initial results from
my searches" (See DOC3)
