One of the things I love about Simple Leveraging is that the “knowledge share” truly goes in more than one direction. This has been evidenced particularly in two incidences that spring to mind for me.

Firstly the experience working with Myra Love on our forthcoming project provisionally entitled “Multi Disciplinary Marketing” where we took the $240K in four days Campaign and analysed it’s various component parts and broke it down into stages and examined in detail.

Secondly, it was after talking to another SL member, Dave “Quinn” Thomas over cool ways to promote Wikis etc and this opened my eyes to a technique that I was aware of but hadn’t really thought about too much in detail.

I have now though, but perhaps it might be an idea to get back to basics first.

Why do we pursue this whole concept of Tiered / Layered Multi-level Linking? Firstly it’s something that we have been advocating and doing at Simple Leveraging by and large well before most others but more importantly why?

It’s a question I get asked all the time, why do you advise the constant building of links to support links to support…….etc  etc?

The answer is very simple. It is because of the transient nature of certain forms of Link Support that we use in our Campaigns. Now that is not to say that short term support is a bad thing, it’s more a case of understanding fully what is going on.

For example, one of the first things we want to do with a site is build in Authority links as soon as is possible. Now in most cases this means getting links on High Page Rank Social Media sites and / or Press Releases.

Now in a lot of cases the Home Page PR of a lot of these sites is fairly high ((5+) and the knock on effect is a fairly vigorous (if we’ve planned and executed it properly) short term “hit” on our sites that results in a rise up the “SERPS”.

Now as they all say, “What goes up always has to come down” and that is the case with the effect received from those short term links but there are steps that we should do almost immediately to mitigate any potential downfall.

I explain it with diagrams and a PowerPoint in this short video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxboJJneJg0  but the upshot is that sooner or later pages gaining the benefit of links from these High Page Rank Home Pages drop the moment that the links themselves disappear and the inbound links form these sites tend to come from less powerful inner pages.

Hopefully by then, all good promoters / Link Builders will have already had in place additional Link placements to add support to these pages. In the case of declining Press Releases, usually a fairly vigorous Link Building Campaign (from SLS etc) is good enough to not only arrest the decline but in most cases reverse it.

I’ve also uploaded to the Members Only Downloads area of the Forum another more in depth video that goes into detail a very useful little technique that drives excellent authority links from a PR8 Site to all of our Press Releases no matter how many we have, within seconds. You can also use this to replicate this technique with at least one other Authority site also. The video can be found here:

Just wanted to update members on a new training video we’ve just posted live in the Simple Leveraging YouTube Channel.

The video covers the subject of Tagging and how correct tagging can double or even triple your effectiveness for bookmarking. We show a live case study of a Blog / domain that was bought less than a week ago on 6^th October and how through just usage of SLS has been taken to cover the top 3 slots in Google for its chosen niche with narrow match search out of 2,800 competition and for Broad match it is No 38 out 6.2 million competing pages.

All in under a week but the real story lies here. This Blog was bought, created, crawled, indexed and ranked in under 12 hours from start to finish and all through just promotion via SLS. In fact the video recorded shows that for the narrow match search that the various SLS Bookmarking Directories are also indexed and ranked as well.

The reason for the power of the network is explained in the video and the video can be found here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-e9sbwyUEM

Secondly, there are still some of the High Page Rank Blog Link Packets still available from below for those who might have missed it yesterday. The details are as follows:

A supplier of ours has come to us with a fairly neat list of 2,500 High PR Blog Urls that we can offer to our members for $30. Amongst these Urls is at least one PR6 (there are about 5-6 PR6 Urls) EDU and all the Urls are PR2 or above. The majority are manual approve but then if you want a link on a Blog that is not going to end up rat infested then manual approve Blogs are the way forward.

The link for these Blog Urls is here:

Delivery is immediate via e-junkie.com.

We have saying here in the UK (and I’m sure it’s the same all over the world with different regional variations) and it goes like this.

“It’s like waiting for a London Bus – nothing happens for a long time and then along come two at once”

Well folks such is life with Google at the moment. Not only did they shake the world big time earlier this year with their not so cute and very definitely not so cuddly Panda Update but they’ve just gone one (if not two times definitely worse) better by now not only hitting us with “Panda The Sequel 2.2 – The Search Engine fights back” followed by the latest in their PR Updates which to be honest if you follow these things carefully is nothing short of a joke.

Sadly this one’s “a joke with a jag” (as we say over here in Northern Ireland) as the joke has left a bitter and sour taste in the mouths of web developers the world over.

To be honest it’s a bit early for a full report and understanding of what is going on and certainly as far as the PR Update is concerned as that is still ongoing according to Industry types the world over but “Panda the Sequel” or “Return of the SEO’s” (how many Star Wars gags can a guy crack – answer loads if needed?) is going to cause almost as much grief as the original one caused if initial feedback is concerned.

Watch this space and we’ll get some feedback live as soon as we can.

OK, well just in case anyone out there thinks I’ve finally lost my marbles and that the present Mrs Morgan (“she who must be obeyed”) is hastily calling for the ambulance whilst I type let me explain.

I was sitting monitoring a conversation on a particular Skype group this morning and the subject about indexing and de-indexing came up and what was really sad was the amount of disinformation that was being spread about what was going on so I thought I would throw my hat into the ring and explain a little about how Google especially reports data.

It’s easier to explain via a Video so I’ve put the video live on our YouTube Channel for those who want to take a look.

The bottom line is this. Google is arguably the most unstable of all of the Search Engines with the upside of this being that it is also possibly the most reactive. It’s probably quicker to get a site into Google – if you know the system and work it correctly then getting a site into Google can be like taking the family dog for a walk and getting it to come back onto the lead when you go home. Whistle at the right time and the faithful family mutt will come bounding along just in time to be taken home for tea.

Google won’t always come round for tea but if you go through the right procedure then getting good old faithful Googlebot to trot along to your site and index you can be easier than you think – especially if you have gone through the very basic Link Building 101 and have your own site map profile set up in Webmaster Tools.

Anyway, the video can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Oca8LMv3_o and it explains in very simple language how Google result can change and vary from territory to territory i.e. when a No 1 in Google isn’t always a No 1 across the board.

Lastly a bit of “SLS chest throwing out”. I was looking at the Warrior Forum the other day and thought that one particular WSO seemed to be good value for money etc. It was one of those discussions streams where you could get 101 Blog Urls where the PR was on the page where the comment was and not the domain. 101 Blog Urls for $27?

Not bad eh?

Then I looked at last Month’s Free Link Packet from “the leveragers” and saw that it contained 184 Blog Urls:

PR 6  7 Blog Urls

PR 5  22 Blog Urls

PR 4  31 Blog Urls

PR 3  67 Blog Urls

PR 2  51 Blog Urls

PR 1  3 Blog Urls

Included in the above are 24 EDU Urls of which 3 are PR1, 5 are PR2, 10 are PR3, 5 are PR4 and there was one PR6 EDU Blog Url for commenting upon.

And the above was free if your membership was in good standing.

So there you have it folks..$324 good reasons to be a member of Simple Leveraging. Not only as a full member do you get access to the largest Do Follow Social Bookmark Directory Network on the Internet but you also get more than $324 worth of Link Building freebies thrown in throughout the year.

For those considering upgrading their membership then we are still running the promotion whereby we discount the fee to $269 if you donate $30 to the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice so even more of a saving.

Get in touch if you are interested.

Usual deal gang, any questions ask away either in the Forum or email directly to me.

Cheers

I’m perhaps going to be fairly controversial in this post but then perhaps not, I’m not too sure?

I’ve just received an email a few minutes ago from another marketer who I know quite well and wouldn’t want to criticise publicly because I think that would be unprofessional but the email made me fairly uncomfortable and that is going some…

The email revolved around the concept of .mil links and the concept of authority links. Now I think if we’re not too careful we all stand the chance of missing the plot big time over this.

Firstly let me state my position and background in this and you will then at least see that this isn’t some shameless “lame brained” attempt at jealousy because someone else has “beaten me to the jump” over this.

I’ve been sitting on a substantial four figure database of .mil domains for the last few months now and those of you who know me really well will have known that I’ve discussed the prospect of this with you. I’ve not done anything with them as to be honest I’ve been completely at a cross roads with what to do with them.

Sure, it would have been very tempting and the easy way out just to unload the database or release elements in snippets and just exploit the living daylights out of it but for the first time in my life I just never found my way round to doing it and that after a few months has told me something.

The turning point came the other day when I ran a test piece of research as to what exactly there was out there in possible link inventory and unearthed a whole series of blogs that were open for comments. I thought OK let’s give this a go and see where we go from here and then I read the blog (always a good idea) and thought (as we say over here in Northern Ireland) “catch yourself on here Steve”.

The Blog was an exchange between a Lieutenant General and an old soldier who was discussing the merits of basic training at Fort Benning amongst others and related to the basic training and merits of modern methods over the old. Now as I say this was a blog, that was unmoderated, open for comments and was dofollow, it satisfied all the criteria necessary for technically a good inbound link.

The usual ideal criteria were present i.e. massive inbound links amount and all from the usual domain suffixes i.e. plenty of .Govs, .EDU’s and so on but then I thought, does this comment I’m about to make and link I’m about to place actually contribute constructively to the “Food Chain” here?

I know damn all about basic training in the US Military, heck I wasn’t even a good Boy Scout when I was kid so what am I doing here? Then it all made sense.

Get the heck out of here and then think.

What was it that made me go there in the first place and it all suddenly made sense about what is going on and we’re all chasing the wrong dollar in the wrong arena.

You see what was it that supposedly made me go there? It was part of the endless quest for an “Authority Link” and then I realised that by and large we are all getting this massively wrong and by doing so giving the Search Engines a massive laugh at the same time.

You see the initial criteria was, this must be an authority domain as it was very rare, had lots of inbound links pointing to it from very “sexy” and “desirable” domain suffixes i.e. .Gov’s, .EDU’s etc etc but then I thought hang on here Steve, you’re chasing the domain suffix here not the site or content itself.

Now I am sure that if you run a site based around selling US Military Memorabilia or Army Surplus equipment then it all perhaps made sense though I am still not too sure how this old soldier and Lieutenant General would react when they saw my so called meaningful contribution about Training with a link through to a client site about Fitness Equipment.

Now there are certain web domains and categories that you can get away with this i.e. it’s fair game on most .EDU’s and .Govs as in most cases they want to set up some sort of exchange of dialogue and as long as you comment properly and enter into the exchange of communication responsibly then it doesn’t actually make that much difference as to what the domain you are using as your target link is…as long as it’s legal.

Now inbound links from somewhere like Kings College in Cambridge, The Physics Lab at the University of London or Yale, Harvard, Stanford etc are true Authority links because of the nature of the site themselves and the kudos of the domain suffix involved i.e. the .EDU suffix.

I am not too sure whether the same applies to .mil suffixes. Sure they are rare but then so is a four leaf shamrock but that doesn’t make a site about Irelands very own native vegetation an authority site or source (unless of course you have a site about rare forms of Flora and Fauna).

Also in the current climate with world events being what they are I am not too sure whether I fancied arousing the wrath of the US Military and a certain Lieutenant General.

I don’t think this is the case, it is more a case of just thankfully being able to step back and take some time out and re evaluate my thinking and criteria about the search for an Authority Link.

Rareness of a domain suffix does not grant it “Authority Status”, 100% top notch gold plated content from an independent source with no axe to grind does.

Therefore in my mind, .EDU’s and .Govs still rank top of the pile not because of the domain suffix but because of the nature of the sites themselves and the content by and large to be found on them.

Hi Gang,

There has been a lot of talk on various Discussion Boards recently
about getting “Google Slapped” or “Google Danced” and what do
you do when it happens?

The first thing we always find is actually to recognize this for
what it is and don’t panic.

OK, easier said than done but it’s the best advice I can give.

The reason I say this is as follows.

If you are in a full blown state of panic then there is no chance
that you will think coldly and dispassionately (as you should)
about what to do about your sites present situation.

OK So what are my best tips on dealing with this situation when
you first encounter it?

1.    Go away and make a coffee or a Cup of your favourite
beverage and stay away from your PR or Laptop for about 5 minutes
at least.

There is nothing to gain and everything to lose by blindly pressing
all sorts of buttons, editing and re-editing pages and generally
behaving as if you spent the previous evening sleeping on a Termites
Nest.

If you’ve been “Taken for a Tango” then you certainly won’t be
able to redress the situation within minutes by any of your
actions as things like this don’t get resolved that quickly
despite what the various Gurus’ promise. But by giving yourself
a bit of breathing space and the ability to think calmly then
your next actions could turn out to be really productive.

2.    Return to your work station and now having had a degree
of separation between yourself and your perceived problem now
you should examine in logical order what it is you have done
to your site over the previous 2-3 weeks to make sure that the
current adverse situation is not arising through any fault of
yours.

This is easier done that you think and I can think of numerous
occasions where there have been fairly massive and drastic “plunges”
in SERPS due to innocent errors on the part of webmasters. You’d
be surprised how effective and damaging an errant “noindex”
tag left in the wrong place on a page can be.?

3.    So having completed a fairly rigorous and thorough
investigation of your current situation you now establish that
indeed this has not arisen through any actual proactive act of
your own what could the cause be and what can you do about it?

The first and most usual blame centre for most problems like
this is usually aimed at the current back links activity. After
all isn’t this usually the cause of most problems such as these.

The answer to this question is usually and most emphatically
not. The reason for this being in a nutshell (as I have explained
to clients and members of SLS on numerous occasions) if this
were the case then it would be the most used and abused form
of SEO known to mankind.

After all if you can get Google to trash your competition as
a result of an influx of back links then why waste money on
your own SEO, just load up your Competitors site with loads
of dubious links and then sit back and watch your own site
serenely rising through the ashes of Google trashing all your
competition.

Not going to happen is it?

Google may be many things but it is simply more complex and
“aware” of this type of false activity than to be that simplistic
in its analysis of your site.

The answer to your question may lie purely within the subject
area known more informally to you and I as a good old plain
“Google Dance”.

The real reasons for Google Dances are hidden deep within the
mists of SEO Folklore and not even Google will admit to them
actually officially happening or for even such a phenomena to exist at all. Ask most Webmasters whether they exist and most will reply most definitely in the affirmative but again most know very little about it.

Most webmaster “guestimates” about “Google Dances” revolve
around Data Centre Upgrades that occasionally throw out results
across the board that are all inconsistent with each other.

The first thing to accept is that there is no such thing as
“one” Google Index and in fact Googles Search Index is made
up from Hundreds of Data Centres spread worldwide and therein
lies the problem. It would be a complete non starter for them
to update all at once and as such Google is in effect constantly
updating itself somewhere as they roll out one algorithm change
after another and they don’t always get it right (few of us do ).
Rather than spend this entire newsletter on the details of such
phenomena rather lets concentrate on what to do to get out of
it if it occurs.

I can only stress here that our experience here has to be put
down as anecdotal but we have found through quite considerable
“non scientific testing” (i.e. we don’t sit around here in white
coats and run around the office waving clip boards etc) and most
of our techniques emerge through quite considerable trial and
error. So our view is that the quickest way to get out of the
effect of a Google Dance is to concentrate on freshening up as
much as possible the IP spread of the Back Links Landscape you
have created for your site.

Bookmark like heck basically and bookmark anything that links
to your site so that not only are you creating fresh IP’s for
the Bots to discover but also add to the power of the links you
already have. Sooner or later the added power of your existing
links plus the appearance of more and varied links will tip the
scales back in your favour.

This is where the large links lists that we feature within the
Members download area of the SLS Support Forum come in handy.
Don’t worry about Page Rank or whether the links are dofollow
or nofollow, just widen that IP spread like mad.

Lastly, just as an adjunct to the above, I’ve spoken to quite
a few SLS members recently about a resource we’re opening up
shortly that will assist the above “big time” as they say.

We’ve been working on two separate Projects recently that we
decided to bring together and they are as a follows:

1.    A Resource of EDU Blog Urls that are useful and available
for Blog Commenting.

2.     A Similar resource to the EDU List but concerning
mainstream Urls ( i.e. .coms, .net and .org’s etc) and as such
a much bigger resource.

To give you an idea of how big a resource and database we are
processing at the moment, we have over 24 million Blog Domains
and over 36 million Bog Urls we are processing our way through.
Now we are refining the searches here down to only consider pages
where the Actual Page Rank of the Page is quite reasonable and
not just the domain Page Rank.

At present we have over 40,000 Urls where the PR is 2 and above
(actual Page Rank and not Domain Rank) and we have over 8,000
Urls on EDU Domains with a Page Rank of 1 or over.

We are going to be making these available to members on a regular
basis at quite frankly what is effectively “at cost” i.e. at
$27 per thousand Urls or $37 per thousand Urls to non members.
Now in each pack there will be 1,000 Urls and the page rank will
be spread between 1 and 4 (again actual PR of the Page) and will
be spread in proportion. This means that approximately in every
1,000 Urls there will be a spread of rank as follows:

400 PR 1 Urls

300 PR 2 Urls

200 PR3 Urls

100 PR 4 Urls (SLS members will get a few PR4+ plus some EDU
Urls thrown in as a well.

Now this will also be available as a forthcoming service via
the Warrior Forum plus a few others and places will be limited
but as before first choice option goes to members of Simple
Leveraging. We aim to only have about 400 members of this project
as obviously we want to try and limit the exposure of the information.

Now a similar service has just been launched by one of the “Gurus”
and they are charging $197 for 1,000 Urls which we think is a
complete over the top rip off adn that is why our service is
effectively at cost.

Why?

Well as I said, we have nearly 36 million potential Urls to
work with and probably over 400,000 with Page Rank so that is
more than we can handle as an in house resource and our aim
here at Simple Leveraging is always to try and look out for
our Members interest first and foremost.

This project is called “The Lost Art of Conversation” and is
ultimately an attempt to increase the quality of comments found
on Blogs and we will also be running a series of Videos whereby
we analyse a series of Blog Urls with a number of suggestions on
how to engage the Blog owner to publish your comment plus leave
you with a nice in-bound link.

I will send some more information about the “The Lost Art of
Conversation” in the next 24 hours to keep everyone informed
and up to speed so to speak.

In the meantime get back linking!!

Speak soon

Whaaat? First he tries to sell me a Mega Bookmarking system, now he’s an expert in Psychology? Either he’s just come straight back from the Pub (us folks over here in Ireland do like to have the odd wee trip down to our favourite “imbibing establishment” on a Friday lunchtime) or his wife has put some more out of date luncheon meat in his Sandwiches today and he’s tripping badly!

None of these, dear brothers in the “Fellowship of the Simple Leveragers” none of the above.

I’m here merely again to advise you of two things and to point you in the direction of some cracking Free information.

I have just finished reading some Free Newsletters on Internet Business and Copyrighting put together by John Carlton. They are brilliant and what is particularly brilliant is that the psychology of the marketing tactics he espouses can be put into perfect practice with selling your newly acquired experience, services and tools that you have with Simple Leveraging.

Now what I want you to do is to go to this link (http://SimpleWritingSystem.com/blog/sws-express-intro-lesson2/) , sign up and download the four free SWS Bonus reports. This is not an affiliate link, that’s not the way we operate.

I know I know, “’Er Indoors”, “She who must be obeyed” will be livid again at passing up yet more financial gain in the pursuit of making our membership happy but the family will have to settle again for simple fare this weekend instead of “Filet Mignon” whilst we give you a straight link, no affiliate sign up, no cookies, just a straight simple piece of free advice.

Go to this link ( http://SimpleWritingSystem.com/blog/sws-express-intro-lesson2/ )and sign up, confirm and then download the reports. You’re not then obliged to do anything else. Sure you’ll get emails from him now and then but then he is one of the coolest copyrighting geniuses around so actually that’s no bad thing. Then think about what he says and how this free knowledge is going to help you put into application the next two batches of information I am going to tell you about in our course of “How to make serious cash using Simple Leveraging”.

Now go and do it now whilst I think up a reason how to explain this to “The Boss”.

The Link is again:

For those wishing to find out the forums then follow the link on the menu bar to the right.

You will have to register and then supply me with an email as to why etc. I know this sounds elitist but it is a private members only forum and we take a zero tolerance policy to those clowns out there who wish to join just to spam the living daylights out of the rest of us with Link Spam.

We aim to help as many people as we can as our members will testify and we are a hardworking and actually very friendly bunch once you get in but sadly there are too many losers out there who just try and abuse the system so we have to follow this path.

I recently read an old Blog Post about the subject of Linking Foot Prints and the damage they can cause if a Linking Campaign is not carried out correctly. The real reason for this is whether my inbuilt nagging suspicions that most Automated Link building Systems can actually cause more harm than good is justified or not. If anyone wants to find out more about Link Building Footprints and the upside / downside of these then take a glance at this post. It covers quite a lot about this particular subject, is not necessarily the definitive word on the subject but covers most of the basics of Link Building AND Spamming etc.

So back to my “Bete Noire” about Automated Link Building Systems.

The reason for this being that they are so automated (as the name suggests), almost everything is done for you that it is almost like taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut. The real downside is that when you automate something, it necessarily creates a repetitive system and process to carry out this task and thereby hangs the problem, the very repetitiveness of the process itself. It is this repeated action, the repeated submission process, repeated analysis that causes the potential problem. It is all too easy to reverse engineer.

Now OK most folk would call me a complete conspiracy theorist here but all I can respectfully suggest to most readers here is that if I can come up with the logic of reverse engineering an automated Link Building Process then you can bet that Google, Yahoo/MSN et al with their seemingly endless budgets have whole teams dedicated to unwiring the latest attempts at automating a sneaky way to bypass their systems.

The answer to all of this? Programmable defects, programmable flaws or mistakes to replicate an organic Campaign. Take into consideration the Human element, the ability above all to screw up that makes the Human Race such loveable beings.

The reason behind my thinking in all of this stems from my experiences in another Industry that has also seen its fair share of Automation and “Electrification”, the Rock and Roll Industry. Back in the late 70’s and early 80’s (yes folks I am that old) amongst the vanguard of new technologies taking the Industry by storm were programmable synthesizers and Drum Machines. Now these were all very fine but once you had programmed the machine and pressed the “start” button, off it went and delivered by and large what it was supposed to do, over and over…..and over……and over again almost “ad infinitum”. The trouble with all of this is that all the songs using these techniques started to sound the same, the beats and rhythms were the same and all became very boring until some bright spark (at Yamaha I think if I am correct) came up with the idea of replicating a real Human drummer and replicating the pitfalls that used to come along with them also. OK they left out the downsides in that at least a machine was less likely to sleep with your girlfriend but you get my drift? Basically the concept was (and is correct) that there wasn’t a drummer out there (and never has been) that kept perfect time in a piece of music from start to finish. There was the odd one that came close but never any one that got it totally spot on from start to finish and that was what made the music so real, it was this very human flaw that makes music so listenable and enjoyable. So to replicate this, Programmers now started to introduce the concept of the programmable unpredictable “flam” or grace note to break things up a bit and make machines sound a bit more like humans.

So how does this all tie up with my gripe with Automated Link building Systems? Well it is this constant repetition that gets my goat. It is not a case of repetitive excellence it is more a case of just plain old repetitiveness that makes it so easy to spot and do something about.

Come on guys and gals, if you are going to try and come up with latest and best thing in automated systems then come up with something that replicates the human ability to screw up and make your programmes look like the real thing and include mistakes to make them look like the Campaign was indeed carried out by Humans and not systems.

There, got that off my chest.

Many think that a profitable home-based business requires tons of high-tech supplies, and a never-ending stream of cash. Fortunately, that is not the case. Internet marketing can now be executed easily and successfully on a limited budget. The desire for home business enterprises is at a high point, and affordable marketing options are endless. With a bit of effort andcommitment, your internet marketing campaign can work with practical and useful advertising options.

When working with a limited amount of means, you must first construct a workable internet marketing plan. It must be decided what types of advertising and promotion will be used, and how much money will be allowed for each part of your marketing budget. Always be aware of your financial situation. There are several creative and unique promotional techniques that can be used in your internet marketing plan, which will not break your bank. Ironically, many have discovered that several of the low-cost marketing methods are just as useful as the more expensive ones.

Message boards and forums have taken over cyberspace. Joining these forums and discussion groups is another excellent way to market on a budget. Engage in groups related to your chosen service or program. Frequently posting questions and answers will build your reputation in the business community, while at the same time, advertising your services. This form of internet marketing has grown to be one of the most effective methods.

E-mail marketing has been coined as one of the most cost-efficient internet marketing methods. To utilize this marketing technique to the fullest, you must first establish a broad e-mail or newsletter list. This list will keep your customers up to date with all of your programs and services. The only problem with this form of marketing is the issue of SPAM. Be sure that each person on your list has requested to receive e-mails from you. If too many complaints are received, your web site could be closed down, and your business could be in danger.
