Internet Seer is a Fraud Site That Aims To Get Money From You

This is just to let you know about a rogue site. The site is InternetSeer

http://www.internetseer.com/home/index.xtp

Somehow it stops Google from picking up a web page from your site. I don't know how these people do this, but they do. My web page went from number one in Google to disappearing.

I changed the name of the web page and it appeared again in the listings a month later.

An email is sent to you from InternetSeer:

"Second Error Alert Your Web site is still not responding

I have checked my web page regularly and I know that it was responding on 10/23/09.

When I click on a link in the email AVG gives the following message:

If my web page was down how did they know it?
