Removing Slander and Negative Information
About A Company From ActiveRain Real Estate
Blog.
We
received a call from a concerned client
about a lengthy blog entry that said their
company was bad and warned others in the
real estate industry not to deal with them.
This blog entry ranked very high on Google's
search engine under the same keywords/search
terms our client used to market their
company online. When a potential customer
would search for "real estate training"
instead of seeing our client (the victims)
website, they would see the negative blog
post! This was hurting our clients business
and losing them money and hurting their
reputation.
After noticing
that this blog entry was posted by a
"member" of ActiveRain, and not active rain
(the websites owner), we decided to
aggressively pursue removal of this blog
entry by contacting ActiveRain directly and
negotiating removal of this blog entry.
After only 3 days the entire blog entry was
removed and our client was very pleased. We
also created a company blog for our client
on a new domain name for them, so we could
be proactive and create more positive search
results for them.
End Results:
Blog Entry Removed - Client Happy - Business

Students Slander Their Teacher In A Bad Way
This case was
one that needed immediate attention. Larry
is a 42 year old teacher in California that
have been teaching for over 10 years at a
Middle school. Apparently a few disgruntle
students didn't care for Larry much. The
students went on a forum, news and blog
comment posting spree and posted the
following message to over 200 websites...
"My teacher Larry Smith at ABC School in
Irvin CA has been touching me and my friend
kelly in strange places after class and
making us touch him. Should we call the
police or tell our parents? He said he would
fail us and get us in trouble if we tell
anyone."
These
allegations were completely false. The
police actually investigated this because of
the posts online! Larry was on leave with
pay for 2 weeks while police investigated.
The girls admitted that it was just a mean
prank. But the damaging posts all over the
internet was still haunting Larry (the
teacher) and after trying to contact the
websites for removal half of them would not
reply or comply, even with a letter from he
police stating it was false information.
Larry called us
and we went to work immediately on his case.
We found over 255 results when you searched
his name online and over 200 of them were
the bad ones. It took us 30 days or so to
have all negative search results to
disappear from Google and other major search
engines. Most of the website owners
immediate removed the posts after our team
contacted them several times by phone,
email, registered mail, and even in person.
Today when you
search for Larry on Google and online all
you find is his new personal website and
press releases we distributed on his behalf.
This case was a success. All negative
information has vanished and Larry is back
to living his life after this nightmare of a
smear campaign.
The students
parents paid Larry back for our service
fees. The cost was over $1500.00
No wonder he cant get that new Job.
Mike Brown of
Norcross GA had been applying for all of the
programming, internet, and web oriented jobs
he could find. He had 8 years of experience
was a grad from a great school, had great
references, and was a very nice guy. But no
one would hire him! After being rejected for
a Job at a large department store in the
electronics dept. and not getting hired, he
was so baffled he actually called the store
manager several times begging for the real
reason why. Finally the truth comes to
surface, he was not hired because of the
"negative public lifestyle" he lived, which
was discovered by simply searching his name
on Google.
Mike immediately
started researching online and found that
his Ex-Lover had went far out of her way to
tell a few false stories about Mike on
dozens of public chat forums. She would tell
how he used drugs, sold drugs, liked kinky
sex, liked to hit her, abused her, made her
do bad things, and made a living as a thug
and criminal. These online posts were all
false lies and pure slander and defamation
of character.
Mike needed
help and turned to us. After working for 52
days on his case we removed and displaced
every negative about Mike that we could
find. We created a personal blog for Mike
and posted several online resumes for him.
After 2 months of working part-time at a
fast food joint (while we worked on his
file) he started getting good job offers and
finally landed his dream job at a web
development firm making $50,000.00 per year.
The Ex-Lover has
since moved on and has stopped posting
negative lies about Mike, although we had to
battle her continuous posting and reposting
for a few weeks. Mike is happy and we are
happy he found the Job he disserved and
wanted.
Rip-off Report Complaints On
RipOffReport.com.
The notorious
Rip-Off Report Website! A company that
offered internet advertising service and web
promotions found itself listed on
RipOffReport.com. The company had a bad
experience with a disgruntle customer that
paid $300.00 for some search engine
placement services. The customer was a
little un-realistic on their expectation per
our client and expected to get 1 million web
visitors per month with a one-time $300.00
investment. After dealing with the customers
complaints and even refunding them the fees,
the customer decides to file complaints on
RipOffReport.com.
When and if new
potential clients went and searched our
clients company name on Google the 3rd
listing down said (ABC COMPANY IS A SCAM)
and this linked to a long rant about someone
being ripped off by them.
This listing
was hurting sales and business, new
customers even backed out because they
feared losing their money to the scam
described on RipOffReport.com.
Our goal was to
make that listing move off of goggle's top
search results so when you searched this
companies name it would not appear. We used
several techniques and trick for this case
which included: A fresh press release
distributed to over 300 online news outlets
and blogs, a company blog website, 300 blog
comments about the company linking to their
website, over 50 directory listings, and
dozens of listings and
backlinks on
other relevant websites.
