Crush Disgruntled Ex-lover Cyber Defamation Out Of Cyberspace

By Judy Murray

If you spend more than about 16 seconds online, you're going to discover that there are some seriously weird people out there. Just take a stroll through the comments section of any Web site or blog and you'll ask that age-old question: Who are these people? A twisted and unbalanced bunch, many of them. And it's very possible that many of them are in fact sociopaths. Which becomes all the more disturbing should they take an interest in you.

Surely you've noticed that there are some seriously unhinged people lurking in the comments sections of most sites. Where these people are in the real world is questionable, and most likely you'd avoid them if you could. Online, however, it's harder to insulate yourself. And so you may find yourself the victim of attack by some sociopath who doesn't like your site's content or intention or maybe just the color of your background. Whatever the reason, you can find your business in serious trouble.

Reputation Repair is the Answer

You can imagine how frustrating this would be. How disheartening to put together a business only to have it wrecked by someone with a grudge. And since it's hard to prove libel as a criminal act online, it can also seem like there's very little you can do except hope your business survives the attack. But I'm here to tell you -- there are options.

Reputation repair services, which have started appearing in the last five years or so, dedicate themselves to scrubbing the negative stuff off the Internet with a fine electric brush. It's just a matter of knowing the rules. And the rules in this case are those the search engines use to find results. A reputation repair service can generate positive content, which replaces the bad stuff and forces it down the Google results a several pages or more, where no human eye will ever see it again. In its place is content that will allow you to run your business without having to worry about a rotten rep.

Approaches to Clean up Allegations

The services go a step further by working with reputation specialists, which help you repel the person who's chosen to attack you. These specialists can help identify the person and advise you if you choose to take legal action. Between the reputation repair service and their specialist friends, you can get rid of the libel and the origin of those defamatory statements all at once.

And that's the story of taking back control of your online reputation. But a reputation repair service can help you climb to the top of the search results if you're just getting started. All that positive content can push your name up to the top of the heap, where any smart online self wants to be sitting.
