Isn't one of the factors used by google to rank a page in its search listings based on how many hyperlinks are made to that site?
Therefore if there are one or two hyperlinks to a fake seller's site on SSDB, the fake seller's listing goes up a couple of notches when you google "adidas superstar".
I could be wrong about all of this though, but if I'm not, would it be possible to make hyperlinks in the fake sellers section of the site re-direct to a proxy or google's own cache of the page in question rather than a direct link to the fake seller's site?
I know that it won't make a big difference, but it'd be better than helping them by bumping them up the search rankings. Plus like Olstar was saying, if people do start losing earnings, because of what the good people of Superstardbville are doing, there'll be less evidence that it was due to superstardb.com and Olstar can worry less about that and spend more time on ebay looking for superstars.
