I've spoken with Findlaw employees in the past year specifically about the sale of these links, long before it became an issue with Google. I also know that the attorneys who I've spoken to about this were promised improved rankings in Google. In fact, the last attorney I spoke with about this was specifically told that his rankings would improve in Google. Now, this doesn't mean that every rep is telling lawyers that their rankings in Google will improve but if you talk to other lawyers who purchased the links package, I'm willing to bet that many were told their rankings would improve. What did they lie about? They are lying about not selling links because in fact they are. If you read my post you'll see I never said selling links is illegal. It's not. Google doesn't make the law. No, you don't work for Findlaw but your IP address is tied to thejobnetwork.com. Interesting that the The Job Network.com is owned by Redmatch, who, in turn, owns RealMatch. Didn't RealMatch just partner with Findlaw? Think so. Understandable why you are defending them. Mike Robert,

I was a Findlaw employee for nearly two years so I have a lot of information that others don’t have access to. I’ve spoken with Findlaw employees in the past year specifically about the sale of these links, long before it became an issue with Google. I also know that the attorneys who I’ve spoken to about this were promised improved rankings in Google. In fact, the last attorney I spoke with about this was specifically told that his rankings would improve in Google. Now, this doesn’t mean that every rep is telling lawyers that their rankings in Google will improve but if you talk to other lawyers who purchased the links package, I’m willing to bet that many were told their rankings would improve.

]]> Comment on Findlaw’s Pants on Fire – Denying Sale of Links by Robert Hoffman http://www.ilawyermarketing.com/blog/2008/09/findlaws-pants-on-fire-denying-sale-of-links/comment-page-1/#comment-395 Robert Hoffman Sun, 07 Sep 2008 12:29:14 +0000 http://www.ilawyermarketing.com/blog/?p=26#comment-395 I think your comment is a little offensive that you think you somehow know what is happening and others do not know. What source of information do you have that others do not have access to? When you say Findlaw lied, what did they lie about? When you say they were busted..what were they busted doing, selling links? Alert Alert Alert - Selling links is not illegal. If you have proof that findlaw was selling "google page rank" then please provide a link. No one else on any other blog can seem to do that. I could care less whether findlaw burns to the ground becuase I do not work there but when people run around making broad cliams and mixing facts with speculation and then thing they are right and everyone else is wrong, it pisses me off.
