Damaged Online Reputation Recovery




Now that is not what a real estate marketing company would like to recover being an Ostrich after reputation damage. Trying to stop a competitor from using trade dress similar to there trademarked theme brand these companies have got an up-close and unwelcome look at the dark side of the internet specially for the clients.

Blogger pals of their well-connected adversary, including one at a major industry website, blasts for being a bully and filing a frivolous lawsuit, often misrepresenting the circumstances. Some posts generated hundreds of angry responses, and anonymous callers began phoning office, leaving scathing messages. At the low point, one person even decided to inject some personal terror into their life by claiming their relatives had been in a serious car accident. Now to recover form such issues is a tough nut to crack. So here it goes this way :-

When misinformation and rumors circulate about your business, it can dominate your company's search engine results and potentially damage your business, says Michael Fertik, founder and CEO of Reputation.com, an online reputation management firm in Redwood City, Calif.

Such companies must advice his clients to grab as much of their "Google Real Estate" as possible. That means reserving the .com, .net and .org versions of URLs and claiming identities on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and local review sites including Yelp, Google Places, Citysearch and Yahoo Local. You might also want to reserve URLs that pair the name of your business with pejoratives like "sucks,". Businesses can use such vehicles to distribute positive, search-engine-optimized information about their companies, which can push down negative information in search results. In such cases, Global Computer Technologies  also creates several new websites optimized with various descriptions of the company, with links back to the main site to further drive down negative results.



But some rumors keep bubbling back to the top always. Since 2005, members of the Social Network family have been battling a persistent falsehood of their image so as the companies with web based networking. The stick rule is that "The nature of our background makes it believable, but it never happened," company president Elwood Martin says. Global Computer Technologies always extend their hands to the benefits of their customers in all possible ways.
