Internet Reputation Management Offers Free Analysis And Ability To Control Online Reputation

When companies are lagging in search engine results, or the online content that does show up is negative in nature, they turn to Internet Reputation Management to put things right. With high quality tools, fast results, skilled writers and a focus on customer service, Internet Reputation Management has become known as a leading online reputation repair service. Over 100 companies -including some that are household names- have taken advantage of Internet Reputation Management’s services, and now that expertise is available without charge, through a free reputation management online consultation.

Because the Internet is an open platform, anyone can write anything about any company, product or individual. This is often a good thing, but when a negative review, unflattering photo or embarrassing video shows up at the top of a search page, online reputation suffers. Potential clients or customers don’t always scroll down through those poor results to read the rest. When people say that the web is forever, it’s not an exaggeration. Negative material doesn’t simply disappear from the Internet, it has to be made irrelevant by having positive or neutral material replace the bad in search results. However, sometimes the cure can be as bad as the disease. Poorly executed search engine optimization (or SEO) looks unprofessional, especially if search results point to material that’s been poorly written. Using spamming techniques only aggravates customers further. The Internet Reputation Management team includes editors and wordsmiths who are based in North America and are subject matter experts. Editors have advanced literary degrees, ensuring well crafted content, and the experts in SEO know exactly which strategies are most effective. They work closely with their client to devise an effective strategy, remaining accessible throughout the project. The entire team is dedicated, professional, customer-focused and discrete.

In addition to offering a free consultation, Internet Reputation Management offers Do-It-Yourself reputation management online through a list of Top 10 DIY reputation management tips. These represent a simplified version of what the Internet Reputation Management teams does for their customers, but it provides a useful basis for those who choose to tackle the issue themselves. A blog is also provided, for those who want to keep on top of the tools, techniques and terms used in the industry.

Insure Your Company’s Positive Reputation with Internet Reputation Management

More and more businesses are making a preemptive strike when it comes to reputation management online. With the help of Internet Reputation Management, they are taking control of their reputation online with a powerful, preventative strategy that accentuates the positive and prepares for the negative. The California-based firm creates a customized plan for each client, a plan that includes a 90-day, money-back guarantee.

Insure Your Company's Positive Reputation with Internet Reputation Management

A preventative plan from Internet Reputation Management mirrors the firm’s successful repair plans in many ways, as both sculpt search engine results and utilize aggressive search engine optimization methods. A preventative reputation management online plan begins with the identification of existing positive information about the business online. Next, Internet Reputation Management creates additional positive information in the form of websites, blogs, social media profiles, reviews and press releases.

Lastly, the firm uses its proprietary search engine optimization techniques to push the positive information about the business to the top of search engine results for its name and relevant keywords. This preventative strategy allows the business to dominate the first pages of search results for the terms. If negative information does become attached to the search terms, the business already has a strong grip on the important first pages. Only about 3 percent of search engine users make it to the last result on the first page, much less the second page. Essentially, the preventative plan serves as an insurance policy for the business, one that covers its reputation management online.

This particular insurance policy comes with a money-back guarantee. Internet Reputation Management provides documented results within the time specified in the reputation management online plan for the business and according to its “Agreement for Services.” If the firm cannot deliver documented change in 90 days, the client receives a full refund.

A business can trust that Internet Reputation Management protect its reputation while working on its reputation management online. The firm never spams, and its strategies appear organic to both search engines and customers. All client names are kept confidential.

Regain Control of Your Company’s Online Image with Internet Reputation Management

In today’s world, even a company that does business fairly and provides excellent customer service can find its online reputation tarnished by a single disgruntled customer. Such is the power of the Internet. When this happens, savvy companies turn to Internet Reputation Management, a California-based firm that specializes in repairing online reputations by re-engineering search results and deploying aggressive search engine optimization techniques. Internet Reputation Management incorporates its proprietary strategies into a customized reputation management online plan for each client, a plan that includes a 90-day, money-back guarantee.

May, 2010 – The customer is always right. This approach helps companies diffuse unhappy customers and retain a positive reputation in the marketplace. What happens, though, when an unhappy customer airs his grievances with a company online? Often, the customer does not relay relevant details or include the company’s efforts to make things right. His consumer reviews unfairly paint the company in an unflattering light, and those negative reviews make their way to the top of search results for the company’s name. Internet Reputation Management can help a company in this situation regain control of its online image by re-engineering search results and utilizing aggressive search engine optimization methods. Based in California, the firm never resorts to spamming to achieve results, and all reputation management online efforts are kept confidential and appear organic in nature to search engines and customers alike.

A reputation management online plan from Internet Reputation Management includes a multi-pronged approach: 1) Identification of existing positive information about the company online; 2) creation of additional positive information in the form of websites, blogs, press releases, reviews and social media profiles; 3) aggressive search engine optimization techniques to push the positive information to the top of search results for the company’s name and/or targeted keywords. The result: Negative information falls to the second and third pages – and beyond – of search results. Studies show that only about 3 percent of search engine users click on the last result on the first page, so imagine how few users make it to the second or third pages of search results.

Internet Reputation Management has more than 100 successful online reputation repair projects under its belt. The California firm also prides itself on accessibility, as many companies have made reputation management online situations worse by going with an overseas firm that applies canned techniques, often involving spam. Internet Reputation Management provides documented, positive results within the time specified in the reputation management online plan for each client and its “Agreement for Services.” If it cannot deliver documented change in 90 days, the client will receive a full refund. Case studies and client testimonials – for other services the firm provides, as reputation management clients are kept confidential – are available on Internet Reputation Management’s website, along with an FAQ and a helpful glossary.

Internet Reputation Management Has Helped Over 100 Companies Repair Their Online Presence

Internet Reputation Management, the gold standard for protective and defensive measures has now successfully completed over 100 projects, each designed to help a company control the way it’s perceived online. By working with a client to build a growing network of carefully designed favorable content, search engine results begin to be dominated by the “good” results, the key to successful reputation management. Online is the only game in town for many companies (and individuals), with Google or MSN results making or breaking the way in which prospective customers see them.

April, 2010 – After passing the milestone of successfully helping 100 customers repair their online reputation, California based Internet Reputation Management has proven itself the gold standard in this increasingly important field. In a world where a single dissatisfied customer or even a kid out to have some fun at someone else’s expense can post derogatory material on web sites, social media outlets and product review boards that becomes the first thing potential customers see when searching on Google, reputation management online is a critical service.

SERM, a common term used to describe Internet reputation management (the service, not the company) can take several different forms, depending on the challenge facing the client. Prophylactic or protective reputation management online involves a wide range of techniques such as keyword research, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) copywriting, image and video SEO, social media optimization and consumer review management. The goal in this case is to help the company dominate the top listings for key consumer level web tools like Google, Yelp, and Google Maps, as well as providing a dominating presence in blogs, social media sites and among PR firms. This form of Internet marketing ensures that a company is the first one that prospective customers find online, that the impression they get from what they see about the company is positive and that the content is natural looking and not obviously part of a coordinated effort.

Online Dating Heavyweights In U.S Take Aim At Lucrative Australian Market

American online dating corporations have hit the Australian online dating market with full force. The emergence has sparked wide spread interest amongst consumers and singles with massive media coverage in a move that has set the scene for all out war amongst the opposing local and international dating companies.

Online Dating Heavyweights In U.S Take Aim At Lucrative Australian Market

Australia has gone against international economic trends in recent years fairing better than virtually any other country during the recession. Annalists are questioning if Australia was in fact ever in a recession. The strong Aussie dollar, an impressive inflation rate of around 2% combined with increasing retail sales at the check outs has forced the hand of the U.S dating giants to set up shop down under.

The online dating scene in Australia is dominated by only a handful of dating companies. While the search engines are seemingly saturated with online personals the majority are dating reviews that are affiliated to the dominant sites.

eHarmony have opened their doors to the Australian singles market and is making steady ground according to the latest hit analysis. The eHarmony brand is one of the biggest in America and combined with their financial muscle they are likely to gain a strong hold in Australia too.

With an active database of 17 million users, eHarmony looks well placed to derail the Fairfax-owned rsvp site stronghold which currently enjoys no major competitors. The eHarmony concept is based on a subscription model with an annual turnover of $200 million dollars. eHarmony is using prime time TV commercials for exposure and is in partnership with the neverblueads affiliate network.

Match.com, probably the world’s most recognized online dating brand has also commenced its marketing blitz on Australian television. New local competitors such as www.hookmeup.com.au are also continuing to challenge for market share.

Social media including Tweets and rss (real simple information) feeds are a huge leverage tool to get the word out for the dating sites who can create the biggest buzz. American run www.todaysdating.com is attracting plenty of interest and looks poised to make its mark in 2010.

Lovetropolis.com Promotes New Option for Latin Dating

Lovetropolis.com, an online dating service and subsidiary of The Lombard Company, Inc., is promoting a new option they have added for Latin Dating. They made the announcement this morning from their Bowie, Maryland headquarters to introduce the new service as part of the online dating service they recently started in February 2009.

“In order to ensure a more accurate match and pleasurable dating experience, we have added five new ethnic and religious categories where our users can focus their efforts,” the statement read. “Our goal with this is to offer as many choices as possible to those looking for companionship. General dating pools are not right for everyone. In the case ofLatin dating, many times family structures and language familiarity dictate the criteria for choosing a partner. With our new Latin Dating service, we have found a way to address that.”

In addition to Latin Dating, Lovetropolis.com is also adding Black Dating, Asian Dating, Jewish Dating and Christian Dating. Each of these groups will be able to take advantage of the social networking platform Lovetropolis.com put in place back in February which offers users live chat, webcam dating, blogging, internal secure email, video upload capability from YouTube, and a selection of applications that can help users improve the look of their profile.

“We have used every social media tool that has been developed in the past decade in the development process of this website,” said a company spokesperson. “The end result is a user experience like no other in the world of online dating. You can meet and get to know someone intimately before you even meet them in person. In today’s world, that makesonline dating less scary and far safer for those who prefer to avoid the club scene.”

All five ethnic and religious groups are now available with Lovetropolis.com, and they are building their membership with a number of incentives and referral programs. Foremost among these is a “Free Membership for Life” program they have initiated where you pay a one-time profile approval and activation fee of $17.95 and then no monthly or annual fees for the life of the account.
