Many online article submission sites now have available to them ways for the readers to rate the articles and make comments on them too. Sound pretty high-tech and interactive doesnt it? Indeed it is and as we know this helps drive traffic to their website and thus improves visibility and value to the authors or writers trying to get the word out you see?

But what happens when a competitor of a writer who is a consultant to an industry or owns a company wishes to make a derogatory comment or rate an article really low? Well obviously you can see the problem and this has indeed happened to me too. But who am I? Well, I just happen to be the all-time most prolific online article writer in the history of the Internet and personally I think that is pretty Chicken Wasteish when competitors do this.

Some people cannot handle competition and those who cannot achieve will always find ways to cheat, take steroids or beat up on their competitors prior to the big ice skating event? In business we also see these scoundrels who will attack their competitors rather than focusing on their customers. How bad is this problem? Well it is bad enough that it has been made an issue with some of the top online article writers on the top online article submission website on the Internet? And this problem will not go away by itself. Consider all this in 2006; maybe you have a solution?
