You have worked very hard to build your business and online presence; don’t let a few bad reviews and online rants by angry consumers ruin your online reputation.

Some businesses and professionals feel that Reputation Management is to expensive for them, and feel they can not afford it. The fact is you can’t afford not to use reputation management. Online complaints and bad reviews that rank high on search engines can lose you sales and clients.

A few weeks ago I talked to a prospective client that had several complaints ranking on page 1 of Google about there business. These complaints claimed that the company would take your money and not deliver the services they promised. The service they offered was priced at a minimum of $1500.00. The prospective client stated that they had lost at least $30,000.00 in sales this year because of these complaints and because of this could not afford to infest $2500-$3000 in getting rid of the complaints. What??? You lost $30,000 and can afford to invest $2500 to regain your credibility and correct your lost sales? I told the client that the investment is 10% off what they had lost so far and is well worth the effort to try and find the funds to do this. I do not think it was a matter of they didn’t have the money as much as they were afraid to spend it.

Why won’t RipOff Reports Owner Ed Magedson Remove A Rip Off Report from the site?

Because they don’t have to….There is a law that safeguards RipoffReport.com, ComplaintsBoard.com, PissedConsumer.com and other similar sites that are built using user driven content. The law is called The Communications Decency Act, and even though it wasn’t written to guard websites like to Ripoff Report, it did just that. Allowing these site owners to be treated as 3rd party individuals and not directly accountable for the content contained within the websites they manage.

What does your websites design say about your reputation? Does your website design reflect who you are and who you want people to perceive you are?

A bad website design or an outdated website design may be sending your potential clients the wrong message. Having an outdated web design with “Old School” layouts and free templates or templates that are used by others may make your company look bad.

Take a look at your website! Do you really like it? Would you buy from someone that had a website like yours?

Have a look at the most successful websites and businesses online and see how they design their websites and how they change that design with changing trends. It is a good idea to join a webmaster forum like Forums.DigitalPoint.com and post a message asking others to evaluate your website layout and design. You should welcome criticism and feedback from other internet users and make changes based of their feedback.

Your website usually gives someone their first impression about you and your business. Make sure your website represents your company the best way possible.

Recently Google changed it’s long time policy on only allowing 2 links from a single domain name to appear in the top search results. This is good news for Reputation Management Companies and Big Brands.

In fact, Google is giving some company keywords a whole lot of first page real estate. A search for “apple” pops up 6 pages from the apple.com site.

This change will help brands and reputation management firms control what is shown on the first page of Google results.

Blogging is easy, inexpensive, and can help you repair your online reputation. Almost every reputation management company employs the power of blogs to help control what Google shows on the first page about their clients.


Blogs usually rank well on Google and are very search engine friendly. Every link you can control on the first page of Google about your name or business name is very valuable.


Creating a blog is simple and is even easier to maintain. The most common and user friendly blogging script to use is wordpress.


Installing wordpress on your own domain will require a domain name, a hosting company, and the free blogging “software” from wordpress.org. Wordpress has several easy to follow installation tutorials. It literally only takes 10-15 minutes to install wordpress and have it running on your domain name.


You can also use a free web based blog, however these “free” blogs” will have a harder time ranking high on the first page and may take longer to reach the top. Try blogspot.com or wordpress for a free web based blog.

It is true, it is almost impossible if not 100% impossible to force rip off report to remove a complaint from their website. It is HIGHLY unlikely that a lawyer can have a rip off report deleted for you. There is only one way (currently) to deal with a rip off report complaint, bury it by launching a search engine reputation management campaign.


Ripoff Report audaciously states on their website, “Ripoff Report has been sued on many occasions based on the content which our users have created and posted. If you are considering suing Ripoff Report because of a report which you claim is defamatory, you should be aware that to date, Ripoff Report has never lost such a case (with one exception; explained below). This is because of a federal law called the Communications Decency Act or “CDA”, 47 U.S.C. § 230.” The CDA Law basically states that an internet service provider like ripoffreport.com is not responsible for the content that a user posts.


The reputation management team at PositiveBoost.com can help you remove rip off reports from the top of search results. We can displace the rip off report link and knock it back a few pages so when internet users search for you or your company, the rip off report link will not be in the forefront.

There is only one way to efficiently rid you of the threat and damages that a complaintsboard complaint causes, bury it! How far or deep a complaintsboard complaint link will go down search results depends on numerous factors. The chief factor is the keyword(s) that pull up the complaints on search results pages. If the keywords (your name) are very ordinary and yield 250,000+ results on Google, it may be a more tricky and costly reputation management campaign.
