Weakening the rival’s site ranking in the popular search engines like Google,  MSN, Yahoo and others will cause severe damage to the competitor’s reputation. Though good SEO is the life blood of an online business, many use negative SEO to bring his site to float effectively on top of the SERPS and to downgrade the competitor’s site.
