NOTE: Title was supposed to be SLIME BAll not "Slim"

I did a search tonight on my company name on Google and saw our site name pop-up along with a few other competitor site names in the snippet from the search result from another site. Wondered why our site name was in their page content so I went to take a look. Nothing was visible on the page. Using view source there were a lot of lines of nothing but well known company names in <font size="-1" color="#ffffff">

So when I did a search on my site name without the ".com" on the end like "mysite" the listing I am complaining about showed up pretty high in the SERPs. I'm sure the same thing is happening to the other prominent site names in their content done with white font.

Probably nothing you can do about this kind of slimy seo stuff, but if anybody has any experience about how to counter this kind of tactic I'd like to hear about it.

Thanks, Tonerman
