Thanks for your question, Linda
How continually active you need to be is partly going to depend on how active the offending web page is likely to be. If it’s just a static page of information from a set period of time, then if you, in effect, create more recent pages, which get some attention, these are most likely to remain higher than the older, static page.
Of course some of the sites listed are likely to be useful anyway, so will warrant your regular attention.

Now if more aggressive action is needed for one’s online reputation repair, I recommend talking to people and agencies that can take care of it for you, such as Nikki Pilkington (who does provide this service) and Tiger Two

If anyone wants to ask something in confidence, do feel free and I’ll advise as best I can.

This is interesting - and I hadn’t even thought about the potential need for Reputation Management in this way. I thought that if you just ‘kept your nose clean’ and behaved in a responsible manner, that’s all there was to it!

So now I have a question:

Is just registering (and possibly putting a profile up)on some or all of the sites you’ve listed enough to do a damage limitation job or would you have to then be regularly active?

At last some commonsense:

Someone who suggests talking to customers to find out how they want to be communicated with!

Comment on Take the we-we test by Karri Flatla

Love it. As a web copywriter and consultant I can’t count how many times I’ve said to clients “Stop talking about “We” and start talking about “YOU” the customer. People have the attention span of a gnat while surfing the web. Save the “all about us” stuff for the About page. And even then, it had better be framed in a way that matters to your audience.

Down with the “we-wes!”

PS: I scored 82.6%. Phew!

OK - as requested, the above all in one neat 5 page pdf file - setting up a blog with WordPress for you. Do let me know if I’ve missed anything, or if something is not clear - really, I’d like these notes to be as helpful as they can be for you.

Also - what more do you want to know?

The skills you have in the area of websites is without equal, you develop and action these sites with a speed and accuracy that is only matched by your tolerance of those with limited comprehension of these things.

I await your detailed notes so I can further admire how you acheived such a great blog site.
