Great news for Aaron and TrafficPowerSucks.com - Matt Cutts (official Google employee) has gone on record about the lawsuit they both faced (full details here).

In document #17 of 2:05-cv-01094-RCJ-LRL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT OF NEVADA v. DAVID BAARDSEN, et al. under the defamation cause of action Traffic Power’s new lawyer asserted the following:

The false and defamatory information includes but is not limited to the following:

a. Claims that the search engine giant Google has banned and is banning from its search engine listings websites of Traffic-Power.com clients because of the search engine optimization strategies used by Plaintiff.

b. Claims that clients of Traffic-Power.com run the risk of being banned from Google search engine listings if they use Traffic-Power.com services;

Matt rebukes these claims outright:

I can confirm that Google has removed traffic-power.com and domains promoted by Traffic Power from our index because of search engine optimization techniques that violated our webmaster guidelines

Considering Matt’s position and the fact that this statement was cleared by the Google legal team - that is a damning evidence against the Traffic Power court case.

Thanks Matt. Much respect to you for doing that.

Aaron is still looking for help in addressing the other claims made against him and others in the law suit. If you have been a client of TP or have information useful to the case, then please get in touch with him (or me/e3internet and I’ll pass on his details).
