It can and does happen. It depends on the search engine or the individual doing the search. They may routinely scan internet dog forums to look for posts, etc. But, however it happened, they definitely got wind of my forum posts.
Interesting, I have done a couple of internet searches for the NAPR. Of course their glossy site comes up, but each time while scrolling down I have seen headers that looked as if they could be criticisms. Neither would connect and seem to have been blocked. Even more interesting, today I spotted the NAPR - the Noida Authority Pet Register - an app for Smartphones. This could be one reason why this company is watching its back!
Yeah, I did some searching before on them and they have a lot of questionable breeders touting them as "legitimate".
