Negative SEO for Reputation Management Client?

by KyGunator
12 replies
I have a client whos a business professional, looking for some unwanted websites to be wiped away when people Google his name. The unwanted sites have basically ripped contact info and job info from databases, and reveals jobs/history he does not include on his professional resume.

I've tried to contact the webmaster of these pages ... with no luck.

Now, my main strategy is creating favourable content, then ranking that in place of these garbage pages.

BUT, ideally i want Google to rightfully blast these guys into oblivion.

Negative SEO works. Can anyone PM me info for a provider that can perhaps send some links to punish these pages?

Any tips appreciated.

Thanks!

    If they are as garbage as you say, you can register to say 100 forums with the persons full name and post a thread on each forum. That will put the garbage content further back on page 5 or 10 depending on how powerful the forums are.

        Any kind of forum. I'm not condemning spamming a bunch of forums of course. But post a relevant thread at each forum. Something that the forum would find beneficial and encourage discussion. You can do introduction threads aswell.

        Google this query to find vBulletin forums:
        a niche keyword intitleowered by vBulletin
        For example:
        gaming intitleowered by vBulletin

    Yes, negative seo works but its very hard to find such a team to fulfill your requirement. Try some legal steps or seek for the experts who can move those untrue reviews and comments few pages far from viewers eye. Google it, I found few sites providing that service. Still, it will take time because it is a method of countering the negative seo with actual seo.

    You can simply report this to Google. Tell them that your client has no knowledge about this pages.

    Just be careful they're not high authority sites because blasting crap links to them is not going to harm them as they would any other site. Try to use negative SEO on an Amazon product page and you'll see what I mean.

    If they are less authoritative pages, you can search fiverr for 'nseo'

    *Disclaimer: I do not endorse the practice of negative SEO. Shame on you Google for creating the industry of negative SEO with penguin.

      It will be a worse way to approach a right place.
      Negative SEO or reputation management really does not works and it causes of de-indexing as well.

        I've been in this situation a few times myself. I definitely agree with saying you DO NOT deal with that sort of thing but you know someone who can and outsource it.

    For negative SEO to work you better be willing to spend time and money. It isn't just a matter of buying some Fiverr gigs and believing the next few days the target sites will be gone.

    If they are even medium to strong authority sites you can forget about it, negative SEO will be a total waste of your time and money.

    Yes, I agree that negative SEO is just a waste of time and money. Your concern should be focused on helping yourself and not hurting others.
