Google on Reputation Management Tips

16 Oct 2009

Three quick tips from Google on managing your personal reputation online. What's notable here is how integrated PR is in doing so...

"If you can't get the content removed from the original site, you probably won't be able to completely remove it from Google's search results, either. Instead, you can try to reduce its visibility in the search results by proactively publishing useful, positive information about yourself or your business."

Big footprint = big rewards.

So you think we should listen to the google, which was founded by canadian pinkos who have so little integrity that when the chinese govt asks for names / locations of chinese citizens who are searching the internet for information on truth and freedom so that the chinese govt can arrest, torture and MURDER those seekers of truth the google citizens of a second-rate nothing country GIVE that information to the chinese govt. Who gives a flying wtf what those scumbag hypocrites decide is 'worthwhile advice'. and btw VIOLET WEED is my real name. There is only one vocal VW and it is ME. Go tell Google.

Google is vastly underestimating what it takes to manage your reputation on their search engine. I setup a Google profile and loaded it with links and 4 weeks later it still does not show up in results. On the other hand a fake poster can put false and libelous comments on Rippoff Report and it will appear 30 minutes later right next to your name. Try and get that pushed down!
