Online Reputation travels fast and because so many members of the public wrongly believe that they can hide behind a made up name in an online forum to post comments without being accountable for the consequences of their comments, you can see how your business reputation could be completely tarnished almost overnight.
 "If you have found yourself being the subject of an online reputation attack, with lies being spread about you over the internet, you will find that the most effective way of dealing with such a menace is to simply ask that the website owner or the Internet Service Provider remove the libellous statements. Normally website owners and internet service providers are not willing to tolerate online abuse and have no interest in getting involved in litigation which has probably got nothing to do with them anyway.Experience tells us that direct requests to remove defamatory postings from websites can sometimes deliver good results without lawyers being involved in the matter at all.“ |

Good reputation plays a major part in every company’s marketing plan, and some businesses almost solely relay on their good online reputation to acquire new work. You take the online reputation away from them and their business is finished.
Even those small businesses who have not yet found a way to incorporate the internet into their marketing strategy, are nevertheless exposed to reputation attacks online by unsatisfied customers and by competitors.

IMAGINE a customer who came to you through a ‘word of mouth’ referral and who did a simple Google search against your company, let’s say just to find the address.
Imagine that the first page of results that this person views on Google contain websites with negative or defamatory comments about your company. Are you likely to hear from this customer again? You know what the answer to this question is; you don’t need us to tell you.
So once you discover that there are online threats to your reputation, what exactly are you going to do about it and how would you make sure that the damage does not spread across the internet and that your next ‘word of mouth’ client does not see the same results appearing when searching for your company on the internet? How would you make the comments disappear off the face of cyberspace? And what if the comments have been copied in the meantime and distributed over the internet, on blogs and forums? How quickly would you be able to restore your reputation and how much would it cost you to do so? Some serious food for thought.
| "There is an old saying that “the first step to getting out of a hole is to stop digging”. If you discover that your online reputation has been tarnished on a website and that bad results are appearing against your name upon every Google search, do yourself a favour and overcome the natural tendency of constantly clicking on the link to the bad result. A defamatory remark on the internet is similar to a toothache – we feel almost a compulsive need to touch and feel the pain – just in case it has already gone without us noticing it. Sadly, with defamatory remarks on the internet, the more you click, the more powerful they become. Google gives priority to popularity. So every click makes the bad comment more dominant and in Google’s view also more important, which means that the defamatory remark will constantly be climbing up the search engine ladder with more people seeing it. When people see a link to a defamatory page against them, they tend to tell friends and family about it with the result that the link to the bad comment becomes very popular. The more people click on the link to see what is being said about their friend/family, the more likely it is that the link will remain at the top of the search engine. So remember that the first step to getting out of a hole is to stop digging. An internet law expert will use special tools to examine the link and the defamatory page regularly without actually adding to its popularity. So if you are unfortunate enough to have enemies who have taken it upon themselves to defame your character online – make sure you don’t tell the world about it and take legal advice from an internet law expert as soon as possible." |

| "Everyone needs to have a few blogs or ‘mini websites’ on the back burner. It is like having an army of loyal soldiers, all well trained and ready to fight the enemy upon demand. These mini websites can be activated with positive content about your company as soon as you feel that a reputation attack is imminent. By populating these mini websites you will help to push any negative web pages down the search engines. Because it could take weeks and sometimes months for web pages to be indexed by the search engines, I always advise to have these blogs, or mini websites already prepared, indexed and ready to go on demand. Speak to your internet people today and ask them to create a few basic websites for you straight away, just in case..... " |

| "Online reviews can be regarded as defamation of character whenever one or more parts of a review are factually inaccurate or is misleading. By not telling the whole story, the author of the review may create an impression which is far from being a reflection of the true position. Aggrieved customers tend to put forward a one sided story about their experience with a vendor, which means that readers of the review are not being told the whole truth. The best way to get rid of a bad review which you feel contains an element of defamation is to send a letter to the moderators or the owners of the website where the defamatory material is listed, explaining that as only a short part of a long story was told through the review..."

Stage 1: The First Signs Of An Online Reputation Attack:
You have to nip it in the bud and act swiftly towards every risk to your online reputation and by ‘swiftly’ we mean within hours or within a period of just a few days from the moment you had discovered the offending material on the internet. Take an approach similar to that of a medical clinic and treat the first signal of an online reputation attack as a potentially contagious disease.
You can have comments and reviews completely removed from many website if they are defamatory and there are a number of ways to achieve this, some of which are fairly simple. You can try to have the first comments or the initial defamatory website remove by yourself by writing to the website owners asking for the defamatory content to be removed from their website. In many cases this simple step could resolve the issue. You may prefer to hire a solicitor to deal with this on your behalf, just to make sure that your requests are effective and are taken seriously. Some solicitors who are versed in this niche area of law might charge you by their hourly rate, whatever this might be. Others, including ourselves can help you eliminate the problem swiftly for a fixed fee which we agree with you in advance so that you can make a fully informed decision on how to progress your matter knowing exactly where you stand and what results to expect.

Stage 2: The Spread Of The Bad Online Reputation Disease
This time, we are talking about a disease which is spreading. This matter now needs to be dealt with by carrying out 'clinical surgery’ and/or by developing a clear legal strategy to eliminate the problem. The aim is to save the patient (your business) with as little damage as possible to the essential organs (your business reputation and your marketing systems) and to facilitate rehabilitation which means making sure that the disease does not recur.
A 'clinical surgery' involves technical manipulation of the search engine, a method which is known as Defensive Manipulation. The goal is to ‘push down’ in the search engine any damaging web pages, comments or reviews and this requires a lot of focus and understanding how search engines work.
The clear legal strategy that we use to help us make internet defamation problems disappear is always focused on the end results. We first help you swap positions from being a reactive victim to internet defamation to being proactive in defending and then regaining it.
Impulse reactions or lack of experience whilst reacting to internet defamation about you or your business are likely to result in more harm than good with the possibility of matters escalating fast becoming very real.
At the same time, ignoring defamatory remarks on the internet could also cause damage because inaction could easily send the wrong message that you and your business are fair targets. Inaction can also effectively invalidate any future claims for defamation that you might want to bring because the court can conclude that your late action might have been a result of either you not caring enough about the defamation or that in effect you had agreed with the defamation by not taking early action to prevent people from reading it.
Because every business is different, each instant of internet defamation is considered and analysed in the context of the type of business, its nature and the likelihood existence of other threat to your reputation. It is too easy to take the wrong step unless you already have vast amount of experience in this relatively new area of law.
| If you run a small family business, you might find it more difficult to devote resources towards protecting your online business reputation. This is understandable but neglect, however, of your business online reputation could end up devastating your entire business leaving your family without an income for the foreseeable future. This is exactly what happened to Jeff Clark, a father to three young children, who used to run a very successful trading business until he fell victim to a vicious online attack by no other than his main competitor.

| If at the moment the battlefield where you fight for your good reputation is online and those on the other side appear to have a reasonably good understanding of the battleground and of the basic tools and ammunitions which are required to cause you maximum damage, you might want to seriously consider moving the battlefield to elsewhere where it will be harder for your reputational enemies to fight back. In other words, so long as the battle is fought online, those who wish to harm you feel that they have almost supernatural powers to orchestrate deadly reputational attacks against you. Remember, the online battlefield is a magical world, where single individuals can replicate themselves continuously and where cowards may turn fearless over-night, just by staring at a computer screen. If you dare to turn the light on your reputational enemies, you will at once strip them of all their supernatural powers. By simply declaring that you have decided to move the battlefield away from the internet to the real earthy world, you will be able to get rid of almost all your internet menaces. |
Stage 3 (you really don’t want to get there) The Courts.
In the vast majority of the cases, issuing draft court papers will sort your problem out at once and without the need for prolonged legal proceedings. However, if you find yourself having to resort to the courts to defend your online reputation, it means that you must have by now sustained some serious financial damage as a result of the internet defamation against you. Latest legal decisions worldwide tend to side with the business whose reputation has been damaged. However, the costs which are involved in such proceedings can be quite high but this will depend on the nature of the proceedings, the nature of the remedy which you seek (removal, injunction, damages), and the identity of the defendant. Ironically, in most cases, suing Google Inc. will cost much less than suing a an individual who resides in the UK. It will certainly be worth your efforts to enquire more about the nature and the costs of various court orders to help you eliminate internet defamation.
The good news is that the vast majority of those sorts of cases tend to settle out of court and just before the legal costs begin to spiral out of control. If you found it challenging to resolve the defamatory issue at stages 1 and 2, you might find yourself having no option but to resort to court proceedings. We always work relentlessly to help you achieve your goals during stages 1 and 2 and we believe that in most cases, actual legal proceedings can be prevented.
There is no doubt that it is better to resolve internet reputation issues as early as possible.
But in the event that your only option to restore your reputation is to go through the courts, rest assured that we only present to the courts applications which we believe are likely to be granted and which are beneficial to you. Still, we work relentlessly to keep you away from the courts.
| Creating a basic blog, with information about the services and products that your business offers, can help you create defence shields all around your business reputation. You can start your own business blog in minutes using WordPress or Blogger and turn it into a very powerful weapon in your fight against online defamation. If you post information about changes, updates or offers, which relate to your business or your particular industry, you will have an endless amount of information to write about, without the need to be super creative yourself. With every post that you dispatch on the internet your reputational defence shields become harder to penetrate. Post regularly and your blog will be established by the internet search engines as a source of fresh and relevant information, which means the content of your choice will be prominently viewed by your target market. If however, you decide to take no action, this prominence within the search engines is likely to be given to posts about your business, which had been despatched by others, possibly by your enemies. |
