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.

It is the writer’s accountability. So even if the complaint is a false, incorrect, and possibly even written namelessly, it’s going to stay on ripoffreport.com forever.

Is This Fair? Not in most cases.
Is this Legal? Yes and No
Can I sue ripoff report? Sure (The question is will you win? Not likely.)
Can I sue the author? Yes and you have a better chance wining. (But What?)

What Should I Do If I have a RipOff Report?

Don’t panic and DO NOT go on the site rambling on about how the author is so and so, and they did this and that… Do not add fuel to the fire or you will find that it will make matter much worse! By posting a rebuttal on ripoffreport.com you will that page (link) stronger and rank higher on search engines like Google, and that is the true problem anyway, the fact that the ripoff report page about you ranks so well on search engines.

DO NOT RETALIATE against the author and get in to a comment or complaint posting war. This will cause you more problems, but it might make you feel better for a moment.

The best thing you can do about this is be smart and invest your time and energy in forcing the ripoff report further down search results. By using quality content and scores of domain names and social profiles you can bury a rip off report link. This process can take time and money, but it works if done right.

One of the most important aspects of search engine optimization and online reputation management is content. And one of the most important aspects of content is keyword density. Distribution of keywords throughout the title, article body, headers, and other locales, is a direct implication to search engines that the content is relevant to the keyword. Another very important facet of superior reputation management content is not ignoring the fact that not only search engines, but actual people, will be finding and reading it. If the content of a site has scores of the keywords stuffed into it then chances are it will look unnatural to visitors. A rule of thumb for keyword density is to keep them at approximately 3-5 percent of the total content. Using a disproportionate quantity of keywords may result in your page being penalized by search engines. If, for one reason or another, a larger capacity of the keyword(s) is needed, in a substantial sized article for example, then keyword phrase variations should be integrated into the content.
