Two months went by and the bad blogs were still on Google first page, my credit card was still being charged the monthly fee. I started sending Reputation Defender emails and call customer service asking them about results and they said that this stuff takes time. In the mean time they created a couple of positive blogs that never made it to the top 20 on Google. Then four months later the second blog that was created right before I signed up with them, also suddenly disappeared after it made it to Google #2 spot. WOW! they sent me an email, look another blog is gone now. But I said the stuff that was there before I signed up with you is still in the top 10 on Google and the new good publicity blogs are still down on pages 4 and 5. They said the longer stuff has been on Google there the longer it takes, because their aging algorithms. Okay, I accepted that logic. 3 months later no improvement.
So I decided to hire another company, upon contacting Reputation Hawk, the very first week after contacting Hawk a new negative blog post “this time full of lies” about our company makes it to Google #1 spot.
Is this a coincidence? Did Reputation Defender do this or did Reputation Hawk have the same scam? where they create negative blogs, which they control, and then they remove conveniently to make me think they are getting results? Did anyone have similar experience?. You really have to have be paying very close attention to see what appears to be a scam.
Hi Jennifer, this is the Administrator for this website…
We are very sorry to hear about the difficulty you are experiencing. We can tell you from firsthand experience that it can take quite some time for blogs/websites to get indexed by Google. However, some blogs/websites get indexed quickly if the target keywords are low in competition. It is true that Google gives favorable attention to sites that have aged. It is probably a coincidence that the negative blog appeared at that time since you already had other negative issues you were dealing. We can’t see Reputation Defender and/or Reputation Hawk being involved in undermining you. You can look up the url’s of those negative websites using whois.com to see who they are registered with, and who owns those domains…unless of course the domains are being protected by ‘WhoIsGuard’.
A couple rhetorical questions here…
Are those entire blogs you mention devoted to saying negative things about you, or are they merely negative comments made by individuals that happen to visit that blog? Either way, you should counter the negative comments with your own positive comments on the same blogs.
