Protecting Your Brand Name and Reputation Online

Protecting Your Brand Name and Reputation Online

A good reputation cannot be bought. This is why it is important to safeguard it especially in the age of social media. With the free-for-all access to post and comment in cyberspace, your business and your brand reputation are literally at stake. Simply put, if you don’t employ the proper reputation management techniques, you are defenseless against slander and libel, which can spread online in just a matter of seconds.

Who could these people be who would engage in defamation slander against you? You have your competitors, disgruntled and dismissed employees, and dissatisfied customers. Even one of your own staff under a different name can easily post offending content online that can severely compromise your reputation. Then there are people who simple get a kick out of engaging in defamation of character, whether against people, consumer brands or companies.

This is why it is very important for the company to manage online reputation. The managers behind the scenes combine forces and wits so as to come up with a brand protection campaign. A simple blog circulating online and describing your product and your company negatively could damage your good name.

So what are the things you can do to manage online reputation? One of the options would be to do nothing. You can just let time pass by and do its job. It is a passive way of dealing and solving the problem, and is not a solution.

Secondly, you can file a legal suit against the person responsible for slanderous and libelous statements against you and/or your brand. If you win, you will definitely profit from it monetarily. The downside, however, would be the time that it would take for you to process and file the case. It is way too costly and you may not win.

Lastly, you can go by the way of reputation management. Use the same techniques by your competitor and try to beat them at their own game. These methods are called search engine reputation management.

Along with SEO that has kept online marketers busy in bringing their online presence to high gear, there’s now the need for search engine reputation management to overtake the page ranking of an offending site. This technique can push it 5 to 10 pages down a search result where they won’t do any harm. Take the search engine reputation management initiative and let the offending site owner know you don’t take these things lightly.

If you think that online image and brand protection is not important, then think again! It’s one of the things that can make or break the business you’ve worked so hard to build. There’s no perfect time than now to have a contingency plan so you can keep your reputation intact and protected.

The Dominator Of Darlington: David Pearson

Ross Everett — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 08:48:40 +0000

While there are a number of challenging tracks on the NASCAR stock car racing circuit, few have earned the fearsome reputation of South Carolina’s Darlington Raceway. Known as ‘the track too tough to tame’, its shaped like an egg with a surface that shreds tires. Some of the best drivers–including NASCAR’s ‘King’ Richard Petty never mastered it. David Person, on the other hand, dominated at Darlington. He won 10 races and won 12 poles–both records that will likely never be broken. He actually made the ‘track too tough to tame’ look downright easy.

David Pearson was born three days before Christmas 1934 in a tough textile town near the North Carolina/South Carolina border called Whitney. His parents both worked in the local mill and did their best to provide. David quit school after the 10th grade and also worked in the mill. He was soon drawn away by his love of fast cars. He bought his own car and began racing at short tracks in the area. He ran his first race in’52 in Woodruff, South Carolina and won his first championship at the old Greenville/Pickens Speedway in’59.

Pearson never sought out stock car racing immortality, but some of his friends had other ideas. They began raising money to buy a car to race in the NASCAR Grand National series (the forerunner to today’s Sprint Cup). With a patchwork of financial backing, David began racing a limited schedule on the Grand National circuit and was named the’60 rookie of the year. In’61, he became the first driver in history to win on 3 of the 4 superspeedways in the same season (Charlotte, Atlanta, Daytona). This attracted sponsors, and before he knew it he was a top NASCAR driver winning Grand National titles in’66,’68 and’69.

During the 70′s, Pearson specialized in superspeedway racing. Through the end of the’70s, Pearson won 43 races. In addition to his mastery of Darlington, he posted remarkable numbers all over the circuit. He is one of two men to have won more than 100 races, and his 105 is second only to The King Richard Petty’s 200 wins. Hes also second on career poles (113) to Petty. Head to head, however, he has a slight edge over NASCARs legendary King: in races where he and Petty finished 1-2, Pearson won 33 to Petty’s 30. His 11 consecutive poles at Charlotte is a feat that will likely never be matched. Another record that may never be broken is his’.29% winning percentage, as well as his record of starting from the pole in 20% of the races he ran.

In March, 2000, SC Highway 221 through Spartanburg County was renamed David Pearson Boulevard in his honor. He lives in Spartanburg to this day. Pearson still takes to the track occasionally–he and current NASCAR driver Carl Edwards were the first to race on the newly repaved Darlington Raceway last Spring. And he’s still known as ‘The Silver Fox’, a nickname given to him for his prematurely gray hair.

Ross Everett is a widely published freelance sports writer and respected authority on football betting. His writing has appeared on a variety of sports sites including sports news and sportsbook directory sites. He lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with three Jack Russell Terriers and an emu. He is currently working on an autobiography of former energy secretary Donald Hodell.

The Can’t Miss Way to Succeed in Article Marketing

Lee Smith — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 03:53:51 +0000

For pretty obvious reasons, virtually everybody who seeks to increase traffic to their website is heavily involved in article marketing.

There are two essential keys, and two essential keys only, to a successful website … good content and traffic. And, traffic can originate from many sources, the most valuable traffic comes from organic listings in Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

Although it takes time and energy to develop and properly optimize a site to rank highly in the search engines, the traffic your site can get from the search engines is free. If you advertise, it could cost you $5 or more to generate a visitor to your site. And, research has clearly revealed that visitors who reach you because they found your site in a Google or Yahoo search are far more likely to be ready to buy than are visitors who reach you as a result of paid advertising. Seven times as likely, in some research studies.

If you think about it, it is not at all surprising . The person who reaches your website after clicking on a link of some kind or getting an email message may have some curiosity about what is on your site, but the person who made the effort to use a search engine to find your site is a far more likely customer for whatever you have to offer.

That is why smart website owners spend substantial time and energy trying to earn optimal search engine rankings. And, because obtaining links is essential to achieving such rankings, site owners are all engaged in a link building campaign of some kind. Generally, article marketing is an integral part of their campaigns because few other activities can be counted on to generate as many links in as short a time. In fact, a popular article can get you dozens of links almost immediately and hundreds of links within weeks .

Most often, website owners write about subjects closely related to the subject of their sites. Overall, that’s a sound strategy.

But, the largest error website owners make, and they do it all the time, is to limit themselves to writing and submitting articles only about topics closely related to their website content.

By writing on a limited range of topics, they also severely limit the websites, blogs, and article directories which are interested in using their articles. And, by doing that, they significantly reduce the number of potential links their writing efforts will get them. For example, I own a number of education sites, so my articles are most often related to college selection, scholarships, online education, and similar topics. I’ve obtained thousands of links with these articles, but there are thousands of article directories and websites that have no interest at all in those subjects. Therefore, by writing 100-200 articles a year, like this one, on other topics, I can reach a whole new audience, and obtain a far greater number of links.

Not long ago I wrote an article on successful strategies for casual sports wagering with friends. I have also written about SEO, teaching teens safe driving habits, so-called velcro parents, and dozens of other areas. My most frequently published article was on great backyard hamburger grilling recipes. The single most important tip I can offer other article marketers is to write and distribute periodic articles on at least ten or fifteen subjects in addition to the subject(s) of their websites. The outcome, in terms of links, is tremendous.

Why Relationship Marketing Is More Important Than Mass Advertising

Timothy Bremmer — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 09:08:36 +0000

How can you make use of rich media like podcasting to compound the results of each new bit of marketing and advertising collateral you create?

Mr Orden of Internet Business Mastery suggests that ‘magnetic media’ facilitates an effective and cost-effective way to realize leveraged outcomes via an accretion of more and greater influence over the marketplace. Podcasting is one significant way of offering alluring material to your marketplace whilst building up the relationship you have with your list.

A large list but low engagement isn’t really worth very much. Time and again as Head of Marketing for an email service provider I witnessed first hand how large brands send countless emails however hit only 8% or less open rates, and thus click rates ended up just a tiny fraction in contrast to the general database size.

Marketing legend Jay Abraham taught us a long time ago that before we should focus on selling our product, we should give attention to providing value as well as building a relationship.

Podcasting means people grabbing your podcasts and tuning in to them on their iPods, which gives them time to relax away from their laptop or computer and hear your unique character and digest the benefit in the information you offer as you become a personal influence on them and thus in your market. You come to be the trusted specialist. The primary celebrity. The go-to guy or gal. At this point, the connection is set in place, so that they are ready to purchase.

How can you employ this principle of magnetic media? Jason recommends blogging, audio, and / or video. Your media then should be syndicated and broadcast inside as many different channels and avenues as possible. Which means your efforts to create outstanding content gets draws traffic and allures the right target audience to your database.

Within your distributed materials put offers which point people to sign up for your upcoming releases or immediately downloadable information.

Hence less can be more. And a small list can produce more profits than a big list. But what you need to set up is a method for broad syndication of your content. Plus you need to find the time and space and know-how to successfully create quality that the market will value and so anticipate future updates.

An Introduction To Ethernet

Bindu Srinivasan — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 08:32:21 +0000

LAN is a fairly common word that is used when talking about Internet connectivity. It is an acronym for Local area network. It is a network that connects computers and other such devices in a specific geographical area. This area could be a home, school, office building or a neighborhood. Each device in the network is a node.

The most popular LAN technology in use currently is Ethernet. The standard for Ethernet is defined by the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE Standard 802.3 defines the rules for configuring Ethernet.

Ethernet was developed by a researcher named Robert Metcalfe of the Xerox Corporation in the 1970′s. However it became popular only after Metcalfe convinced Digital Equipment Corporation and Intel to join with Xerox to develop the first draft of the Ethernet standard in 1980.

The first implementation of Ethernet used coaxial cables that were about 20 mm in diameter. This came to be known as Ethernet Thicknet. Thinnet Ethernet was introduced later, he used the cable TV cable at the moment.

The next development was Unshielded Twisted pair (UTP) cable which is a 4 pair cable similar to a telephone cable in both appearance and end connector. It has a variety of grades, of which level 1 is the lowest quality and level 5 is the best.

Level 1 and 2 are mostly used for voice and other low speed transmissions. Level 3 can handle speeds of up to 16mbps, level 4 handles up to 20Mbps and the finest cable level 5 can handle up to 100Mbps.

The first Ethernet switch was introduced in 1990 by a networking equipment manufacturer called Kalpana in the Silicon Valley. An Ethernet switch is a networking device that connects network segments together. It works so as to remove all unneeded traffic from each segment by only forwarding the traffic needed on that segment, which provides better performance on the network.

These switches are used to connect point-to-point links to reduce installation costs and to increase reliability while enabling point-to-point management and troubleshooting.

Communication between Ethernet is in the form of data packets that are both sent and delivered individually. Each Ethernet station is assigned a 48-bt Media Access Control (MAC) address. These MAC addresses are used to specify the source as well as the destination of each data packet.

Ethernet is a technology that has continued to develop since it was developed. The development of technology is integrated into a wider bandwidth, and changes to the paper version. Has now developed the basic technology for existing networks in the local area.

Ethernet has gained much popularity because of decreasing cost of the hardware required to support it and also the less panel space that it requires. For these reasons, most manufacturers directly build the functionality of an Ethernet card into PC motherboards.
