When it comes to your image, or the image of your brand, reputation management is a word you need to know. The internet is a very powerful and quick force and a negative comment on a blog, Twitter, or forum can literally spread across the internet in minutes and can result in a loss of business and profit. That’s where reputation management comes in. Monitoring what is said about you on the internet and responding when appropriate can reduce the spread of negative comments, but the real damage is done when the negative comments gravitate to the top of Google or Yahoo. Here are a few tips to manage your reputation before it becomes a problem.
