There are now services for this type of thing. The funniest part is you can find them on google; just look up negative seo.

Having had a site sabotaged and seeing traffic drop by a factor of 80%, I can say this is very, very real.

Thanks Google! You can't distinguish spam to discount it, so now you allow legal, competitive sabotage. :S
