How to force competitors out of the marketplace

A recent internet marketing course describes a bully technique

A recently released internet marketing describes a technique which could be used to force compettitors out of the marktetplace by involving them in a financial bloodbath.

I don't think there will be any prices for guessing how this is done. But I don't think it is very ethical. Also, if you do not monitor your campaign carefully, you may find yourself having a bloodbath as well.

Now, I have to ask what was intended by this posting, and why so coy? Are you saying that your competitors will click on your paid listings on PPCs to force you, if not out of business, at least off the paid listings, or to a lower bidded position?

That is not a big secret. I have seen postings here that talk about paid clickers in India, paid pennies to do that. ............. So what is the point of the posting?

We know 100% that some of our clicks are fraudulent. We do complain and get some of the fraudulent clicks refunded, but at the end of the day I think you have to accept some the fraudulent clicks as a cost of doing business.
