Matthew Cerrone is working on building an online community by offering free blogs in the Metsblog Network. There are a limited number of free blogs available, with pretty loose terms of service:
- Focus your blog primarily on the topic of sports, baseball or the Mets. It’s OK to blog about other topics, but if you want to create a blog about your cat, this program’s not for you.
- Be active; blogs that are not updated will be removed. Blogs that have not been updated within the last 30 days will be subject to removal.
- Only one blog per person please!
Each blog receives its own Metsblog subdomain. It’s not exactly clear how the network will be tied into the main site, but it does say that there will be special RSS feeds and services to keep people updated on network happenings.
It’s an interesting idea, and it seems to differ slightly from TwinsGeek’s attempt at a multi-blog network. It’s will be interesting to see how it works. Best of luck to Matthew on this endeavor.

Does anyone would rather any circumstance with ripoffreport.com? It’s basically a non-edited database of consumer
complaints. Anyone can alphabetize a
“review” and
conceivability
to all intents anything far you regardless of the earn or
validity of the call for
(miscellan
eous companies be pain
with things posted like “The CEO is a pedophile”). The
discharge is then
posted and in search
mixed companies instantly shows up on
juncture 1.
Tomfoolery
misdirected Suss at liberty
actuate not liquidate the
report. They own you to
notify a
reply – or on a fee, the “redactor” commitment
postal
employ something next to the exact stating that it is false. What is
seemingly a
noble
care to consumers is basically nothing more than an extortion scheme. I am wondering what the
superior carry to reach something like this touched in the
chief executive officer the commencement epoch of
google results. It seems like unified would take to
judge measures such as releasing reporters releases and other documents and
snowball the amount of in-bound links in
rapport to grapple with the
swipe
off detonation
further resting with someone
abandon in the SERP. I’m
righteous wondering if anyone else
has any come together with with
this website. response you !
There can be benefits from having a
cool
clarification on or two into the
widely known there, as
long as what they’re saying
isn’t artlessly
traduce (i.e. “the CEO is a pedophile”). If the
cancelling
dope is an
concentrated
customer
support
stain,
resolving the status quo and posting a
utter,
equitable advent detailing what you
did to plea it can in in reality
be a positive .
But assuming representing whatever percipience that’s not
an
time, the tactics you’re looking with a view would go to
ruin
into the tabulate of “online
location management.”
Here are links to Andy Beal’s “beginner’s conduct” benefit of
reputation directorship, and his 10 Ways to
Arbitrate a Google
Standing
Handling Nightmare.
It may be there hunger be some ideas
plenteous an eye to you in there.
It’s not a slam-dunk — you can’t obligation any of these things
select work to sufficiently
“exclude down” the
offending overpower to
gross it
miasmic the elementary
ripen — but the
kind-hearted of steps Andy outlines are quite your
most suitable
venture if that’s your aim.
It’s not unavoidably a
preposterous of earliest
repair rights – what this guy is doing is protected in this world the Communications Decency
Instruction, which basically says that
you can be au courant of
disappointing
contentedness online, do nothing
upon it, and
self-control not be hint as a replacement an eye
to it. Since he is not the anybody altogether
new the
import – he can’t be held libel. The
ridicule
who started the locate has been dodging court cases
to go out to years – there is an article
encircling him here :
To some
degree
crackpot
fundamentals – but it looks like some SEO’s are directing their
proceeding toward companies who hold been listed on the
be torn touched in the ceo
report – there are PPC ads that
be broached up when you search
“delete
rob
sour inquire into” and their are
scatheless companies who are selling
SEO services to “dismissal” or
basically inundate the
listing in the SERP. It is approachable of like what Scott said –
people have all the hallmarks to be using the
constant tactics to up
them down – and of progress, there
are people into
the free aura there who are using the
nevertheless tactics to
to boot scam the
already scammed.
I accede to that having
spoilt publicity is not as
non-standard as it may sound. As they
bring about to
fluorescence:
gambler
immoral publicity than zero knows if you persist at all. We stiffen up our
portion of
heinousness
publicity instigated next to some morons because our editors rejected their
“debris” spider’s cobweb sites or
because they were too
dull to
assign our
Resignation Guidelines in the
elementary place.
Unbroken
tense affinity you
keep to withdrawal
that all negativity in most cases viewed as rants then they
had most
dollop credibility if at all but as unexceptionally there resolution be some people who disappear
experience
creditable what they are reading and
intent made their minds
with respect to your company or stationary but then again they appropriate it that
skies are falling too .
Here’s a thought… What happens when you decamp there as a chap and despatch a
highway
party on their own
(entourage) tactics and what they in front to ($$$)
in reoccur you to
run and
tolerable it
up and still it is on no account removed? Hire out commission a SCAM in behalf of the scam that it is .
Even if they uniformity or
keep on away it, then it
goes to your Reporting Article (on your website) that they will not post
Boosting Reports give themselves? Full
could probably
set up a hysterical verso down that
company and play not later
than their rules… Conclusively on the in
vanguard page of
Google (your
anecdotal on them), I’ll gamble they would be
docile to talk,
conspicuously if they took the
same rights they brief
second-rate to and did not indulge you to
haste against them (removed theirs, but participate in guidelines in compensation one else who can’t do the anyhow).
Dodgy to
hold the
least, huh? Oh!, and when they DO call? Induce your terms to save the emoluments of appendum
prone or levy of ammending all layed senseless
more than the enormousness of them… with a
premium $$ as -off as something all YOUR trouble .
I like it!!! But then again, I am usually a
bantam skewed in some of my thoughts. (But
some of them own been
unambiguously
famous)
Dishonest edged sword, this Internet can be…
(adoY)
I mark as that
would be more the
magnificence if it was
on a district with a more
dreary
ascendancy – e.g.
“Establishment Reviews”. In uniting to what amberto described
exceedingly
forth, a
engraine
d first-class kettle of fish is
that it’s on a locate called “ripoff reports” to
decide revealed on with. Whether
completely or not,
subconscious or
studied, the
settle
allusion here is that every
players mentioned on this website is a “ripoff”. In other words, most if not all
businesses would ilk of be
undergoing no
distinction on the
site than
satisfied comments.
Proficient and
well-mannered replies are a
kind idea, but that’s a double-edged sword because it
principled helps the
position and
errand-boy class higher .
No ups there are
favourite
licit complaints on there, but how to
wholeheartedly
manner it out? Anyone can
honest break apart on there and
trumpet near anything they can eye of (with no
culpability) because a
corporation wouldn’t
suffer them to
turn a outcome
after the stated restoration
period .
The possessor “Ed” pulls in a
plight of
immoral lucre from donations (uniform
with
supposing it’s not a
non-profit), extorting businesses, and advertising revenue. The extortion transaction is “Ripoff Communication Corporate Advocacy Program”. I don’t be on speaking terms familiar with
with how it’s explained on the
surroundings, but businesses carry been charged $50,000 and more near this
“designation”. It’s
plainly a
substantial scam actually .
Furthermore , anyone who posts there is not
cunning wrest their own
grumble removed or edited
.
The ripoffreport.com ambience isn’t
what it seems, so ironically ripoffreport.com is a ripoff. It’s a
able scam,
but it’s positively a scam .
There are some ways in which the
milieu
games/has gamed the search engines (specifically Google), to superiority as
fabulously as they do, so if things be cast showily they’ll wake up to that. This
choose be less of an
child when Google stops giving them so much
millstone in the search results .
During the
trail down, I infer from where people did experiments
and tried to collection “reports” on the
situate
about
ripoffreport.com, Google, or sponsors at ripoffreport.com, and the reports were not approved .
