When you return to "business" of Google Bombing has been some controversy on the web during the day yesterday with details on why the comment because after what I read left to right, the web is again left in all directions by telling everything and anything on the story without taking the time to dig a little ... well common reactions on the web what ^ ^ ...

Facts:

See previous article: Les 3 Suisses, an unacceptable incompetence

Circumstances:

Night from Saturday 8 to Sunday, August 9, 2009:

Some surfers congregate (twenty) on one video chat to discuss everything and anything including what happened in the day on the net ... just know in person, some keep a blog or a site and others not, it's just a general discussion and have the subject of the famous Swiss offers 3 on the TV to -90%.

That's when I learned of this matter, the discussions are going well but almost everyone is certain that this stupendous offer has little chance of success but after all, it lasts for a while ( throughout the afternoon and night) without patch Dealer and this is when here that the articles and other TF1.fr confirming the offer of the merchant by the so-called confirmation of the customer service of 3 Suisses ... or, some decide to make the order "to see" (as in poker ^ ^) others prefer not to risk buying.

The command seems ok with mail confirmation + tracking control finally ... well it looks ok but on the canvas commands seem really raining everywhere (of course we followed the articles and reviews sites / forums which was aired l 'info see how the thing plays out).

After just what everyone already knows the day Monday, August 10, namely erratum ridiculous 3 Suisses deep in their FAQ and no direct info on the matter by mail, if we were not Internet "sophisticated" looking for any info we would not have discovered ...).

We are in the evening of Sunday, August 10 and we are not shocked by the fact that orders are canceled as was read from right to left, the only thing that bothers us is the attitude that the 3 Suisses silence is doing absolutely no comment anywhere ... in fact they are playing the ostrich until the storm passes .... and then? It continued as before without changing anything? Hmmm ....

Come then the idea of organizing a small Google Bombing, just to remind all players VPC French need a little technically be serious when you want to be recognized as a reliable vendor.

On the twenty surfers present on the cat at that time ten decided to participate ... YES ... only 10 SITES. And among these 10 sites can not be boasted of having a "wide audience", except perhaps Nowhereelse who has some hearing deemed Geek ;)

What happens next?

Well it works pretty well .. some new blogs are grafted to the movement of items out on the title "Les 3 Suisses, an unacceptable incompetence." Very quickly this request eventually we indexed on Google and has gradually what we wanted, ie the site of the 3 Suisses back in the results pages when typing these words and cherry on the cake for 3 Suisses back very well researched appendices like the word "incompetence" or "3 Suisses incompetence" ... that's what we wanted obviously but no guarantee because we are not a large network of hackers as I could read ^ ^ but just 10 surfers jaded by the commercial techniques of another era continued to take consumers for truffles, which grow tired very (too?) quickly rattle ...

I enjoyed the day August 11 the multitude of comments that went off in all directions with certainty on all sides by people who had the book 10 seconds of the brain for this case any more but who really need d ' express the considered opinion ^ ^


In conclusion:

- 10 "small" blogs can very easily do what they want to Google (imagine then, what can a multinational company which has several tens / hundreds of sites ... o_O)

- Customers do not think (or little) and still need to speak on all subjects which fall under the hands (I do not judge but merely see eh! It could happen to me ^ ^) .

- Les 3 Suisses have still not provided "clear" in the media about the origin of this "mistake", customers have received no apology (I would not claim a gesture of goodwill but I know others ... yes).

- The big question still is: what will the site so that it never happens again? ... Apparently not much heuuu ... ... ok ... same player plays again ... ^ ^

- Do players French SVC will review their processes to avoid this kind of buzz Bad and the dissatisfaction of their clients or when the current system is suitable for everyone?

Stagueve (editor Nowhereelse) IS NOT the instigator of the Google Bombing as some might have claimed (he proposed the idea but the decision was collective .... All this was organized in less than 5 minutes shows hands ...).

Finally: Just because it is small it has no right to be heard ... and frankly I've wanted to do a little Google Bombing which will last even a week rather than put gas cylinders front of the headquarters of 3 Suisses (I know you will retort that I compare the incomparable, but I am against the violent acts ...;))

I thank all the "small" sites that have accompanied me in this fight micro ^ ^:

... And I turn to something else ;)

Update 8:50:

An email is being sent to customers with apologies for the 3 Suisses "manifest error of this view" was "corrected by our teams as quickly as possible" ... everyone will think what he likes but it ' is not too early (this message should have sent us on Monday ...)

In any "case" is closed for me but he lost me as customer ;)
