Outrank google results --- Help.

Hi -

I have been working on a project where i am in need of some help or tips from the experts... We are working on a brand (website) and they have some negative reviews listed about them listed on sites (i.e. ripoffreport, yelp and others)and those links are appearing in the first page of google when searching the brand.

We have created enough positive presence for the brand online and have all the links we created appear on second and third page of google... but haven't been able to move the link down at all.

Any tips on what can be done here?

    • I've seen the weirdest titles today. I thought this one was about ranking higher than the search results

      Unless it were Adwords that WOULD be worth a WSO.
  • The simplest thing to do if they have the money is to just pay those sites off. I know it's a racket, and that you don't want to support it. It sucks that those sites are allowed to operate on the model they do. On the other hand, pushing those sites down is going to take a lot of time and (probably) money too.
  • You can get positive reviews posted by others if not free then by paying them. If there will be 30 or more positive reviews then few negative reviews doesn't matter.
  • You're on the right track. When a client doesn't want to go the easy route and pay off the negative review site, this is the same tactic I use. Namely, create 5-10 satellite sites and get them all ranking higher.

    The easy ones

    - Facebook
    - Twitter
    - Youtube

    More difficult: Web 2.0 announcement blogs

    The difficult part of this process is getting the off-page resources you need to rank these pages. People aren't that enthusiastic about spending money to rank non-money pages. At this point, I'll start using a multi-tier web 2.0 pyramid backed by GSA, but this is beyond the scope of the conversation.
  • You can create all the "good news" sites you want, but if those sites aren't indexed and aren't getting traffic and backlinks, they won't replace the other news.

    You're not trying to push the bad news down, you're trying to push good news up so the bad news fades out of relevancy.

    Or, you can ask the negative reviews to be removed. Or get the law to help you demand the negative reviews be removed. The latter strategy seems to be growing more and more popular.
