Negative links and their effects
No company can afford to ignore their online reputation, not when negative listings against them appear among the top ten of a Google search. These negative listings can easily create an online reputation management issue. True a company can’t always control what is written about them on the internet. That does not mean that the company should do nothing about them. These links remain among the top ten of a Google search even when they are proved wrong or the issue has been settled.
The internet allows people to say or rather post their views anonymously. This has been misused by many people around the world. Some people can be quite unreasonable. They get upset about things no matter how hard companies try to satisfy them. These people post negative links on the internet. Some competitors also post negative links. There is no limit to how low a person might go to get a competitive advantage.
Many companies want to remove negative links from Google, but this isn’t possible. Requesting the forum to remove these links does not help. In fact your request will also be posted and that will make both present and potential customers suspicious about you. This does not mean that the affected company should sit tight and do nothing.
We at Done SEO do not guarantee that we can remove negative links from Google, but we can help companies reduce the effects of these negative links on the company.
The first step that Done SEO does is to start creating business profiles, microsites, and other web pages, which are used to show the company in good light. The purpose of creating such sites is to replace the negative links with these positive ones. As the positive links start ranking among the top ten of a Google search, they push the negative links down to pages that people rarely visit.
After that Done SEO starts working on the existing websites, those which are below the negative links. We concentrate on improving the ranking of these websites so that negative links are pushed further down.
After some time companies realize that while they can’t remove negative links from Google, they can protect their online reputation from them.
