When I first saw this article I thought it was for the term "reverse SEO". This didn't hold up as there isn't any article linking to this one, so it isn't enough of a wide spread term to warrant an article. Further, noting the "(C)" behind some references to the name make me think this is actually for the company "Reverse SEO". Under that banner, I don't believe it meets notability requirements. The alexa rank is so low as to be unrecordable at this time. StuffOfInterest 16:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Almost patent nonsense, and the cleanup tag had no effect. Hard to tell what it is about. Yomanganitalk 16:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not that hard. It appears that someone has had the idea of promoting ethical behaviour on World Wide Web sites by coining the term "reverse search engine optimization" to denote doing the reverse of what the search engine optimizers do, with a web site. Given the aforementioned link with a single company, this is probably original research, a new concept being promoted by a single entity that has yet to be acknowledged by others and become a part of the corpus of human knowledge. So notability isn't the issue. Whether and what sources exist for the purported concept is. Uncle G 19:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete neologism. Basically it's about promoting a web site through customer relationships rather than search engine trickery. Gazpacho 21:33, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
