report to google and forget about it and get back to work on other things you CAN control.

If google gets enough complaints about SERPS in a certain keyword area or it is using a technique that others are, there is more likelihood the G! will update their algo to counter the technique. That could take months.

Although it can be heart-breaking don't look at this as a disadvantage. Even if these 4 sites are ranked 1 through 4 it's still the same thing to Google users.

If the site doesn't have what people are looking for 2, 3, and 4 surely are not going to be better, right?

Ranked position matter less than user preceived value.

If users are purchasing from here it matters not if they have 1 or 1000 listings the sale is going to them... and no amount of complaining "those cheaters" will change these sales trends.

There's alot of other keyphrases out here... be innovative, and don't pin all your hopes on one single "phrase".

How many sales is this competitor receiving for his handywork, anyway?

If it's zero is there any real reason to complain?

A little like cheating on a test by asking someone else the answer... and not using the answer they gave.

Looking at the last Google threads, domain interlinking really is the flavour of the month.

I think we are soon going to see a Google update similar to the september/october one, only with an even stronger impact!
