Real-Life Negative SEO Study

[experiencedays]

This isn't so much of a question as an offer

The Offer first, then the story. We are currently the target of a sustained negative SEO. This was only discovered in the last 3 or 4 days (Webmaster reports impressions down from 15,000 to 1,600!). I'm not asking for help, I believe we know what to do in order to combat it. My question is whether anyone at MOZ would like to use it as a real-life ongoing case study. We are not a new company and have never dabbled in black hat SEO. All current thinking suggests that this shouldn't have been possible given our age and reputation. A summary of our company/site below:

• 9 Year old domain
• $3m annual sales
• Previous Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Company
• 25,000 Facebook fans
• Hundreds of natural links including CNN.com, Washington Post, Inc.com

I'm not the best writer and I'm not that technical. I would gladly give the right person full access to anaylics, webmaster tools, sales reports, interviews. Given that this is still ongoing (and there's always a chance we might not recover!) I suspect this would make a great case study for the community given the right author.

Hello Robb,

I would love to jump at the chance and do an in-depth analysis on this. I work as an SEO analyst for 2 different Digital Agencies. How can we discuss further?

Thanks Yiannis.

I was actually hoping for someone from Moz, or at least a blogger they might nominate. At least for now I'd rather not hand out our company info to anyone outside of MOZ, but I'll certainly keep it in mind.
