Reputation Management Strategy?

I have a friend who had a bad dating experience and the woman left all kinds of nasty posts on liarscheatersrus dot com.

He said that he paid someone to "to surgically remove the posts" and sure enough by magic, they are no longer showing up in the keyword phrase search for his name.

I thought the only way to play this was to create new content that pushes down the old content but boy was I wrong.

How did they do that?? Does Google really allow you to decide what does and does not make it into their index?

    Typically, yes, a reputation management business will work to move other, neutral pages up, thus forcing the negative page(s) down.

    However, some sites will accept payment for page removal (like some or all of the "mug shot" websites). liarscheatersrus.com doesn't look like they *directly* accept payment to remove an entry. But they link to a couple reputation management services, and those services say they will remove a liarscheatersrus.com entry. For about $600. So, I'm guessing that liarscheatersrus.com has some deal worked out with these third party reputation management sites. A person pays the reputation management site, then they pay liarscheatersrus.com (less than $600, so they make a profit).

      Well that is an "interesting" business model. encourage your customers to destroy someone's reputation and then make your money by going to the victim and charging them to clear their name.

      Thanks
