Defamation of character is nothing to joke around about these days. Especially when so many rely on their online businesses for income, or for those who are trying to start up their online business. So what do you do to protect your online business or product? This is the question of many brand managers.

Defamation of character is a serious offense. Defamation of character is also known as “Libel” or “Slander” when referring to written or broadcast works). It is often an explicit statement or claim against a product, group, organization, or individual that may give a negative impression. These claims or statements may be factual and are considered a crime.

Those who commit defamation of character, or who are also referred to as “slanderers” usually consist of competitors, former disgruntled employees, and dissatisfied customers. These are the most common. However, there are also people out there who do it just to get a kick out of it.

Today it is really easy, and even tempting, to fill out the “customer review” section of a website that offers a particular product or service. It is easy to select the amount of stars appropriate when rating a particular product or service. It is also easy to write a comment below stating why you chose the amount of stars.

Thankfully there is search engine reputation management. This technique can push those nasty comments five and up to ten pages down a search result. This way, the offender thinks they are doing you and your site harm, when actually new users visiting your site won’t even notice them. Pretty sneaky, huh?

Of course there still lies the risk of someone actually taking the time to read all of the comments posted. However, the majority of users looking at a new product or service will only read the first several comments. Most people are impatient and want information as fast as they can get it. That is the beauty of the Internet: it has made us impatient.

Some may believe that a few nasty comments won’t hurt or cause any damage to their business if they have a sound and reputable product or service. Think again. Since online shopping or surfing is at an all time high, you better believe that users are paying attention and listening to those comments.

Finally there is the more professional approach: search engine reputation management. Because so many online businesses are experiencing the same effects from defamation of character, the need to protect one’s image is more important today than ever. Search engine reputation management pushes nasty comments five and even up to ten pages down below the search results where it will be difficult to see, especially when new users search a keyword that relates to your particular business.
