Remove Rip Off Reports From Google

Forcing RipOffReport.com (Ed magedson) to remove a rip off report from the Rip Off Report website is nearly impossible. The website clearly states that they “Never Remove Complaints, Even if the person who filed the complaint requests it”. Not so fair if you ask me!

So how do these reputation management companies remove rip off reports? They in fact remove them from the top of Google’s search results, not from the rip off report website. The reality is that most rip off reports are revealed when people search for you or your company name on Google.

I do not believe or suspect that many consumers go directly to rip-off reports website and search company names on there. Most people go directly to Google to do research on people, companies, products and services. Google is the biggest reputation engine in the world! If you have harmful information showing up on Google about you, then you will need to launch a full scale reputation management campaign to fix the issue. The fix or remedy would be to push the negative links down the search results. The goal is to replace the negative information with positive information.

A few tips on how to Remove Rip Off Reports from the top of Google:

Create Online Profiles: Use sites like linkedin, FaceBook, Portfolio, Bolt, and others to create highly visible online social profiles. Always use the name you are trying to repair as the name and/or title.

Create A Blog (or 2): Create free blogs or your own hosted blog. Use the easy to use WordPress blogging platform or others to create keyword rich blogs and submit them to Google.

Register Domains: If you do not own “YourName (DotCom)” then you need to hurry and buy it before someone else does. Install a one page mini-site or a blog on the domain. Also register all TLD’s like .net, .org, .us, .biz, and others. Use all of the keyword rich domain names to your advantage.

Create Forum Accounts: Sign-up for as many forum accounts, use your name as the username and make a few posts on the topics you read. Utilize the signature feature most forums have. Add links to your blog in your signature. Always link from your name as the anchor text.

Promote Your Content: After you get all of your new profiles, mini-sites, and blogs up and running, it is time to promote them with strong SEO techniques. Use backlinks (get other sites to link to yours), add your blog url (link) to your online profiles and other sites link to one of your sites from all of the other ones to create one-way links. You can also buy links from other blogs to get some link juice!

These are basic tips that may help you. Remember there are many other methods and techniques that can be used. If you need assistance or have any questions let us know by posting a comment.

I agree that Rip-Off Report is pretty one-sided as they allow just about anyone to sign up and post what could be false rip-off reports. Google seems to be ranking these reports a lot lower than they used to but they still do appear on the 1st or 2nd page for many companies. I think removing these type of things is essential for reputation management as they can be pretty damaging to someone who may be doing business with you are purchasing your product. We have had some of these pop up for clients we represent but they seemed to be easily pushed to the 4th or 5th page within one update. But like you said we did some consumer testing and none of those tested other than one had ever gone to a rip-off report type website on their own, if they did most found it on the first page of Google.

These tactics might work for companies with only 1-2 reports, but they’re unlikely to work very long for organizations with multiple, repeated reports, partly because of SEO, but also because if they don’t fix what’s wrong or if they’re genuinely a scam, people will continue to add more reports. At least I hope so. Personally, I want to know about the scams and genuine ripoffs. Just a thought.

I had a rip off report complaint and it was on the #2 position when you searched my company name. I hired a company to help me with it. They moved it down to like the 4th page of google when you search.

I paid like $2000.00 to this place, I did not have time to do it myself.

Does anyone think it is possible to make a rip off report go deeper than that? I want it removed from like the first 10 pages if possible!

Anthony,

Thanks for the comment/question. It is possible to make it go deeper, however it may take a little bit of money and a lot of time to push it down further. If I were you I woud be more worried about the rip off report moving back up more than moving it down further.

I have pushed down a lot of these rip off reports for friends and clients, these complaints have a history of coming back after you push them down.

Focus on upating all of your new content weekly and showing Google that the content you made is active and maybe get some good backlinks to the content that you like (used to bury the rip off report) so it will stay on top of it.
