Libel Slander Defamation Online No Longer Lasts Forever

By Sandra Lane


The power of the Internet is also its weakness: Everything said lives there forever, and can reach everyone. So if someone decides to say something negative about you or your business, it can have immediate, drastic, and terrible consequences. And because of the way the Internet is designed, it has been very difficult to get those negative things removed, regardless of their validity.

Probably the greatest strength of the Internet though is in its adaptability. Its willingness to cooperate. So there are ways to get the negative stuff off the radar, to start fixing the damage to your business. The rise of reputation repair services has proven that there are ways to dodge the curse of the permanent insult.

Libellous Internet Accusations Can be Squashed

The services use search engine optimization techniques to force those sites containing the negative content way down off the first pages of the search results. They can get 'em to drop all the way past the fifth page or so. And in the place of that bad stuff, the services will put in more positive content to restore that rep.

The services naturally fill the space with content that's more positive for you or your business. It's a way of restoring your reputation without having to go to court or get into long arguments with some random blog owner. And most importantly it gets people's eyes back on the good points of your business, where, of course, you want them to be.

Do You Wanna Bury Libel For Good?

Bear in mind that this kind of service can benefit you even if you haven't had some negative stuff thrown your way. Good old search engine optimization will put that good content out there and push your name to the top of the searches, where, as they say, the cream rises to. It's never too early to take control of your reputation.

The fine thing about the Internet is its flexibility, its power to give people control of their online selves. So sure, you may find yourself getting attacked online, but remember that you're never powerless. The Web is nothing if not full of options, and the better you understand that, the better you're going to look out there in front of all those eyes.
