3 Simple Steps to Start Cleaning Up Your Rep

1.) Get a profile on every social site in exsistance

There was a post about this on another blog talking about social media squatting you need to make sure you are in control of your brand everywhere. We grab every social media site for our prominant clients to ensure control, even if they don’t need rep management, as anyone can go and get myspace.com/your-brand-name or squidoo.com/your brand. If you are in a very competitive industry where competition plays dirty I would grab the profiles with different variations such as .com/your-brand and .com/yourbrand one with the dash and one without. You could go through all the work of grabbing one version and missing the other and your competitor will still rank for your name.

Here is some must have list of social pages to set up brand profiles

www.myspace.com

www.squidoo.com

360.yahoo.com

claimid.com (use this to link to all your other profiles)

blogspot sub domain

9 rules

twitter

digg

del.icio.us

If you are going after something as strong as rip off report you will need more than this and you will need to drive a lot of links to these social pages.

2.) Get bloggers to talk about your brand or review your product. You can do this by contacting them directly or use a service like Review Me. Or ask for others to blog for you in forums. Where ever you go you want to make sure that the blogs have a healthy index, meaning a low supplemental result rate and that the posts get indexed and stay indexed after going past the first page. If you own sites build sub domains with your brand in the URL and the Title and mention some of the awards you have one or accomplishments you want consumers to know. We have acces to over 400 Blogs and 350 sites that are all indexed well and we can get this done in one weekend.

3.) Use press release and article sites such as PrWeb.com or Ezinearticles to write articles about your product, and link them to other pages about your company.
