I have a negative SEC page since 2002 that won’t go away. I have spent thousands with companies that won’t return my money. Is there anything that can be done? I am through these problems, and the web page is hurting my future.

@Eletitor,

Are they e-mailing your customers? How do they know which ones are your customers?

I don’t know the answer to your situation, but taking care of reputation management issues in ADVANCE is very important. If you have your own company, you need to (have someone) build a “firewall” of 10 to 20 properties and pages for your brand name, so that user-generated opinions and content will have to take a back seat to the properties YOU CONTROL.

If you are a professional or a career person, you need to give this some serious thought also. Even if someone else messes up, it can cause a lot of grief if people (investors, HR departments) confuse the two of you online.

It is a fact! I have been working for a pretty important SEO company in Spain and I have been firee under the false suspiction I was working for my own. NOW I have my own SEO company but they send false details of me to my customers. Is there any way to detect that in advance?
Thanks

You really can’t just remove negative content about yourself from other sources. When Consumerist posted the infamous confessions of a Dell salesman and Dell responded with a DMCA takedown notice, the community justifiably went crazy. People with no real interest in Dell one way or the other, who might have bought one on sale, saw this as an example of a big, evil corporation crushing free speech to protect its bottom line. They apologized a few days later.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t deal with criticism, especially when it’s unfounded … just be extremely careful!
