How to Fix Libellous Accusations Online

By Clara Smith


Nothing travels as fast as bad news. You've heard that, I'm sure. The 21st-century version should add this modification: On the Internet, nothing lasts as long as bad news, either. Because our Web never forgets, because it tracks everything, any negative comment about you or your business being a scam will persist in perpetuity, regardless of its validity. And that can have lasting real-world effects if it's not dealt with.

Lest you feel like the Internet is just out to get you, think again. In the last few years, reputation repair services have begun to appear out there on the electric frontier. They're like the cowboys protecting your Internet virtue in this new Wild West. They'll make sure you get a fair shake, fight back against the negativity.

Negative Reputation Online No Longer Lasts Forever

It's all about links, you understand. The more sites which link to a site, the higher it'll rank. So the reputation repair service uses good old search engine optimization to put content above the sites with the bad stuff, which forces it down like dinosaur bones. It can drop five search pages or more. At that point, like the dinos, it's ancient history.

The services naturally fill the space with content that's more positive for you or your business. It's a way of restoring your reputation without having to go to court or get into long arguments with some random blog owner. And most importantly it gets people's eyes back on the good points of your business, where, of course, you want them to be.

Do You Wanna Bury Libel For Good?

What if you've never made someone mad before? What if you're an online saint? It's possible people have still never heard of you, nice guy that you may be. In this case it might perhaps still behoove you to make use of the reputation repair services skills with search engine optimization and push your saintly name up to the top of the results.

That Internet is one wacky place, I tell you. Well, I don't need to tell you. You're already here! And so it's probably also clear to you that you have an online image, whether you run a business or are just looking for a job. And so, for my sake, remember to take good care of that image. Don't turn your back on it or sure as you're sitting there at your keyboard someone will come along and tinker with it, ruin it, control it if they can. It's not that hard. But it's also not that hard to defend it, if you know where to go.
