Business Practices
Often in the business world, some people attempt to self-promote and profit from successful businesses. The most common example of this is a practice called name hijacking. Name hijacking is when a person or company jump on a trending topic and uses that recognition to bring attention to their product or service. The trending topic of name hijacking is usually negative and will often end with a pitch for the customer to purchase or review something else. Since people are attracted to negative gossip, it is easy to be pulled in by search results asking if a prominent business is legitimate or a scam, but this is what those engaging in name hijacking are participating in by planting these results in search engines.
