Recently in the Mapspam arena I had reported on the first sightings of bilingual English Spanish Mapspam in LA and International Mapspam targeting Spanish speakers in Barcelona. Now I can also report Spanish only Mapspam in (where else?) Southern California.
I have no idea how big the market is for the search phrase: “Abogado en San Diego” but Mr. Rodenbo seems to have cornered it with 8 out of 10 listings (all at the same address) in the Local OneBox:
He seems to have covered his bases in the Spanish speaking community but if you are concernced that Mr. Rodenbo is missing out on the large English speaking population interested in filing a lawsuit the San Diego area, not to worry. He has taken a multi-lingual approach to his mapspam with at least 20 listings at the same address and at least 3 different websites with similar content:
This from lawyers? I’m shocked!
Rumor has it that a few sales reps from a company who shall remain nameless have learned how to successfully mapspam. Something tells me we’re going to see a lot more of this.

Hey the last lawyer spammer swore on the bible that he was as pure as a new born babe, go figure.
I am hoping that by bringing some light to these Google will figure out how to prevent it. We’ll see.

Ah, the familiar Mr. Rodenbo. His avatar became well known to me during some recent work
I really do wonder, Mike, how much does the actual lawyer understand what is going on with his listings. Is he responsible, or has he given the keys to his reputation over to a bad guy?

Mr. Rodenbo’s Spamming is MY fault. I’m new to this and he asked for my help. I think I have removed all the spamming BUT if I have not PLEASE email me and let me know!
I don’t want this to reflect on him in anyway.
THANKS for ANY HELP!
