Q. My competitors are spamming the engines
with multiple sites for the same company. [Can I have them killed?
;-) ] What can I do about this?
A. You can try reporting them to the search engines either via
their spam report email address, or through the "dissatisfied with
these results" link that most engines have on their results pages.
If you decide to do this (and I generally don't bother) be sure not
to complain that

"it's not fair," and that your site is better or
that you're losing money, etc. Simply mention that the search
results for the particular search query you tried is bringing up
multiple domains for essentially the same product, service or
company, and that you thought that the engine might want to know
about this.
The results may or may not change over time, but at least you can
feel good that you tried to help them to improve the quality of
their results. They really do want that info, but it's unclear as to
whether they will agree with you and also act upon your report.
