Have you ever rank complaint website?

Ripoff Report, the site notorious for posting unverified anonymous reviews and complaints, seems to have lost major visibility in Google’s organic search results starting November 6.

I first noticed this today when searching for keywords related to Online Reputation Management (ORM) clients that we manage.

After checking about seven different keywords and only finding one still ranking in Top 10 on RipoffReport site, I came to the conclusion that something must be going on.

Even the one report still in top 10 was down about 6 positions.

I quickly got on Twitter and could not find any mentions of this and then contacted several colleagues and also posted in the SEJ private writer’s forum asking if anyone else had seen this.

Several others confirmed that they saw the same thing and someone even sent me the below SEMrush graph showing major ranking drops for RipOff Report.
