Do you ever wonder what is being said about you online? I know some of us don’t and admittedly, I don’t anymore. Well, that’s not true I am concerned about what private information of mine is out there in cyber space that I don’t know about. Why? I’ve been online a long time. Before building a business, I published stuff that I know I probably won’t today. Not that they are bad but back then, we just didn’t anticipate the Internet would be what it is today. Not to mention, I was pretty naive back then. This was
in the 90’s. I don’t even know where to go back to look. Yeah I can search but it’ll almost be a full time job. This also reminds me of a conversation I had with other online marketers not too long ago. About our privacy. I think it’s a catch-22 for Internet marketers. We’ll always be a bit more transparent than others and sometimes a bit more than we are comfortable with.
Today, I came across and interesting service while looking up stuff for another web site of mine. It’s called ReputationDefender. For a subscription, they will scour the Internet for any references about you and if they find something questionable will remove it upon your OK – removal costs extra, $30 but depending what it is they find, it could be worth it.
What do you think? Would you use it?
