Libel Slander Defamation Online No Longer Lasts Forever
Posted By Terry Carpenter on October 27, 2010
The power of the Internet is also its weakness: Everything said lives there forever, and can reach everyone. So if someone decides to say something negative about you or your business, it can have immediate, drastic, and terrible consequences. And because of the way the Internet is designed, it has been very difficult to get those negative things removed, regardless of their validity.
But we built the Internet to be used by everybody, and so consequently there are options to repairing the damage. Just in the last few years, reputation repair services have started popping up that have the ability to shuffle search results in your favor. Because on the Internet, for better or worse, forgetting is the same as forgiving.
Bury Libel For Good Seriously
The trick is to bury the bad stuff way, way down in the search rankings. If it disappears off the first or second page, it might still be found, but the reputation repair services send those negative pages to the outfield, five pages or more away, where it’s never to be remembered again.
The content that has forced the bad stuff down is way more positive, naturally, and presents a friendlier face to people searching for you or your business. The bad stuff is forgotten, and without having to get into a fight, legal or otherwise, with the offending site in the first place. Anything they throw at you can be made to slide off your reputation. There’s plenty of room for it at the bottom.
Libel Against You Online No Longer Lasts Forever
Bear in mind that this kind of service can benefit you even if you haven’t had some negative stuff thrown your way. Good old search engine optimization will put that good content out there and push your name to the top of the searches, where, as they say, the cream rises to. It’s never too early to take control of your reputation.
It’s okay if this all seems really new and weird to you. In the grand scheme of things, it is rather ridiculously new. And yet familiar. It’s reputations and human interaction, only the rules are a bit different. Also the ways you interface with those people. It’s a virtual self you’ve got out there, whether it’s just you or you as the face of a business. And it’s best to understand how to control that self now, since no doubt other people are trying. And you certainly don’t want them figuring out how to control yours.
