Online Reputation Management: Calling In Pros to Refine Your Google Image

How do you bury digital dirt, bad stuff about you online, when there is sooo much of it?

Perhaps you are under online attack by a political foe, a business competitor, some Web 2.0 nutcase that has decided you are evil, or maybe your Web savvy ex-husband?

The techniques mentioned in my free ebook Effective Internet Presence are a great place to start.

Essentially you want to create lots of positive online entries about your self and drive the negative information way down in the search engine pages.

You may want to hire a pro to help -- I've helped people with this problem before.

The Washington Post has a great article on this topic, Calling In Pros to Refine Your Google Image.

I particularly like the notion (when your online reputation is under extreme attack) of creating lots of Web sites that include your name as part of the URL -- this works very well. For example, if your name is Gregory Peccary, you might get and use the URLs:
GregoryPeccary.com,  GregoryPeccary.net,  Gregory-Peccary.com,  MrGregoryPeccary.com,  GregoryPeccary.name, GregPeccary.com and then creating a (short unique) Website for each URL.

There are also simpler and cheap/free techniques that work wonders for most people mentioned in my ebook  Effective Internet Presence, like signing up for LinkedIn and creating a profile and reviewing books on Amazon.
