But now we know that the more customers who post complaints (with links to your web site) the better - it boosts your Google ranking and that drags in new punters.
Bad customer service (in fact preferably rude and near insane) is good for your business growth - plus you get to keep the excess profits every time you rip someone off.
Google has inadvertently created a new business model.

- memetichazard 16y agoI read http://petewarden.typepad.com/searchbrowser/2010/11/five-short-links-4.html http://petewarden.typepad.com/searchbrowser/2010/11/five-sho... today. GetSatisfaction and other major sites are using 'nofollow' (see the wikipedia article) and therefore should not be contributing to increasing the pagerank of the sites. However, tweets and certain blogs (the ones with nofollow diabled) may be contributing to pagerank. So, the lesson is, if you complain, complain on a site dedicated for that purpose.
