The web based client log-in system is almost complete so clients can log-in and track their campaign and view/download reports. The reports will give you all of the links to new content we gave create and backlinks we have generated for your campaign. This new tracking system will let you see progress and the work we have done.
Sometimes is takes search engines more time than expected to catch up with all of the new buzz online about you, and this system will give you a peek at content before Google picks it up.
Keep your eye out for the new client log-in link inteh top right-hand corner of reputation armor’s website.

All new clients will get a client log-in within 3-4 days of launching a campaign with Reputation Armor.
We estimate the new site will be up and running by Oct. 6, 2009.
Online Reputation Management is an urgent issue, however it can not be rushed. Sometimes it is very important to take a break or pause when creating new content and submitting it to Google. If you are creating hundreds of posts/items a day when there is normally only 10 a week about you or your company, Google may “sandbox” or ignore a lot of it. Sometime pausing or slowly dripping new content and backlinks will get you to your goal faster than rushing and pushing too much out there too fast.
There is always work to be done so by pausing you can catch up on updating and getting involved in your social profiles and commnities you are a member of. The stronger your social sites are the stronger they will rank. Strength will come from using them frequently and being a part of the network.
Microsoft yesterday unveiled a monitoring tool that’s designed, among other things, to improve a marketing organization’s ability to adjust to social media phenomena on the fly.
Called “Looking Glass,” the product is still in prototype and will only be available to a few companies in the near term. It sends e-mail alerts when social media activity picks up considerably. The sentiment (i.e., negative or positive) of that chatter and the influence level of the content creator are reported in the alert. Digital flow charts show what days of the week generate the most activity on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, and other social media sites.
But interweaving social media data with reporting from other campaign channels may turn out be Microsoft’s most significant contribution to the already mature field of social media analytics. Feeds from social media sites can be connected to other business elements like customer databases, CRM centers and sales data within an organization. The data integrate via Microsoft’s enterprise platforms like Outlook and Sharepoint.
A handful or so companies will begin testing Looking Glass in the coming weeks. According to a spokesperson, the company hopes to release it to the broader marketing public sometime next year.
Rip Off Report has changed the way they use your address in their reports. They are using a new format that allows Google to pull your address out the Rip Off Report. Now when your Rip Off Report is listed in the search results there is an additional link that says, “Show Map of…”. This additional information makes Rip Off Report rank stronger in Google and make your complaint stand out from other links. We have adjusted our content techniques to address this new issue. It is important that you provide us your address and allow it to be used in our process to address this new issue.
All Reptation Armor campaigns are on track. Remember that reputation management takes time and the search engines (like Google) do not like to see too much new content to fast. Sometimes it is important that we pause on campaigns for a few days to give all of the new changes a chance to set in. Just because you may not see new changes in search results everyday does not mean we are not working.
Usually you will see new information hitting Google within 5-7 days after we start the reputation repair process. Rarely do we guarantee an exact time-frame on when a specific complaint link will move down. We work as fast as possible and try to keep our work looking “natural” to Google.
Google will know that something is up if there are 2500 new pages online about you within 1 week if there is normally only 2-3 new ones a week. We must slowly drip out new content and new backlinks to the content. Please be patient while we assist you. Thank you for allowing us to serve you.
Reputation Armor would like to remind all clients that they should not post a rebuttal or comment on their online complaints. By posting a comment or adding anything to the complaint page you will be updating that page and letting Google know it is an active page that people are interested in. This will only make it go higher up search results and make our job a lot harder and your wait a lot longer.
Reputation Armor will be posting tips on this blog frequently so please check back often!
