We write a LOT of really technical articles here at the Reputation Management Way. So, since that’s the case, we thought in this post we’d “keep it simple” and tell you about one of the most basic, but also one of the most important ways to look after your online reputation — facebook.
Yes, that’s right: facebook; it just might be the most critical piece of social media real estate that exists in the world right now. It’s not just essential for individuals to share information, it’s essential for businesses as well to have an existing online presence. Facebook is the linchpin of such an operation. Any business, even those such as local hardware stores or pizza shops that have been around for a very long time, should take how they’re seen online seriously, and creating social media profiles on locations such as facebook (perhaps the most important one) is the best place to start.
Another VERY important feature when it comes to facebook, is the fact that it ranks so very highly on search engines for absolutely anyone that uses it. This is true for both businesses and individuals, so if you’re having a problem with your search engine results (of any kind), the very best and fastest way to begin a “stop-gap” solution, or any sort of solution, is to create a facebook profile (if you don’t already have one). Log-in and post 5 (or so) relevant posts or topics, and try to link to other sites that you like or find interesting as well, perhaps those currently in the news.
However, facebook is one of many sites that rank very, very highly on google, yahoo, and bing, and is taken very seriously by search engines. HopLite ORM is a company that has compiled a very large list of websites that can be very useful to improve your online search results, if you want to know more just click here to visit their website. They also have an online knowledge-base that covers a broad range of ORM topics; for that just click and (quote) “read this” to check it out. See if there’s anything there that can help on your quest to ORM success, and don’t forget to sign up and use facebook, it’s probably the most important, basic, and yes “simple” way to make your online search results look amazing.
