Reading these reviews I can’t help but wonder who is posting the positive reviews.I wonder if its reputation.com?

I signed up for the MyPrivacy service for two months. It doesn’t work all that great. I was removed from most of the smaller database search sites. However repuationdefender will not remove you from the major sites like MyLife, Intellius, USsearch, or some smaller ones like DOBsearch. I wasn’t removed from People Finders either.

People seem to have a mistaken understanding of what can or cannot be done on the web. You generally cannot have negative reviews or comments or the blog/site itself removed from the internet unless it violates the law in terms of libel and slander. You might get the person to remove the comments if an agreement is reached. You can also post counter reviews and web sites. And that’s about it. If a business has a deserved bad reputation then the only way to fix it is through improved customer service, not trying to take down negative comments!

I’m disappointed with ReputationDefender. I was a member for months and my name and email was all over the Internet. They didn’t do much.

Actually, I meant to put 4 stars on them all!

Glen Beck talked about this on his radio show. I am
really excited about this and telling everyone I know.
I can’t wait to get the info about me removed, it will
be really nice. They are already sending emails about
info on me online. Thanks!

Reputation Defender has been good for me in making some serious corrections ever since my ex wife decided she would try to wreak havoc on my life (and did for a while) after our divorce.

I contacted the first company “Reputation Defender” back in Nov 2008. During that first week after contacting them my company and my name had two more negative blogs pop on on Google’s first page repeating the same negative stuff that a couple of difficult and dissatisfied clients said about us on other blogs. We signed up with them back in December to remove 6 bad publicity blogs, A month later the first blog that popped up right after contacting them, completely disappeared from Google, and basically the blog itself was removed. great! I thought I was getting results.

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.

I had this service and it was a total waste of my money. They took my resume, wrote a few biographies and posted it on the web. After a month some of the rating changed, but then the stuff I didn’t want bounced back. They kept charging my credit card, and I had a really hard time dealing with customer service.
