Beside seo optimization efforts I found few keywords that looks interesting if started to rank, so this time there will be some monetization involved.
Keyword meaning is not complicated this time. Its about used exercise stationary bikes.
Eventually time will come where every single person or company will need reputation management during its lifespan. Even if you are company without single dirty spot in your business, something will arrive, which will seriously damage your reputation (unsatisfying customer, sabotage by competition or simply certain cases which are beyond your control).
Over time such cases will get exposure and end up on prominent places on internet.
Once that happens, you will not have lot of choice on what to do regardless given issue. You can sit and watch consequences of negative marketing (losing money) or you can try to fix the situation.
Sometimes it will be enough to contact the person whose act is discriminating you and negotiate removal of the questioned content, but sometimes people will be revengeful and will ignore you.
In that moment you will need professional company like Seop.com or similar which will deal with the problem.
What should you expect from such company?
First of all they should play fair. If they don’t, then they can ruin your company image even more. Such reputation management company should ignore the article or listing that is infringing you. On contrary, they should concentrate on bringing positive results on top of search engines ant thus burying negative news deep under.
This task is couple of times harder then regular seo work because hired company or person need to do multiple seo work on in worst case fifth teen sites and positive news.
Besides fixing your reputation, such large amount of work will be very positive for you. Your company will get:
- more traffic and more conversions
- your company will be fortified as a online brand by creating buzz around the social networks
- your company will become more transparent entity
Long term looking, your company will in most cases recover this kind of investment after certain period of time.
Recently I came in contact with some company named Nett Solutions. I needed some quick pay per click massive campaign searched out and found them, but after looking around for term Nett Solutions scam and similar words I figured out that it might not be wise to work with them. So I researched little bit more and now I am really confused.
On Nett Solutions site they claim and promise nice placement on sponsored results on Google and Yahoo, yet however every page I found online where people claim they are scammers they talk about like Nett Solutions promised top positions on Google and Yahoo and they did not. So it looks people simply paid some PPC campaign to them and then they expected to be positioned on Google and Yahoo organic search results. Is it possible that they got so confused when on Nett Solutions site is clearly stated that they promise positioning for SPONSORED results, not organic ones. So it could be easy that they in the end are not scammers just a victim of circumstances. I can bet that it is same situation with every company that offers marketing over PPC campaigns over various ad networks.
PPC campaigns can not influence search engine organic results. If people expect those then they should deploy a SEO company, which will then optimize their site and start some offpage work and then they should expect some results and even in that case without guarantee. It is becoming so hard to work with people these days…
Wondering does anyone have more info about these guys?
