Reputation.com does suck!! I hired them to get some bad press buried for my son and all they did was make it worse!! I FINALLY got a refund and hired profiledefenders.com - they did not charge me monthly, just a one time fee and had it cleaned up within the month. I am not endorsing them just stating facts.

The Reputation Defender [Reputation.com] Scam

Every time they play a group of commercials on the radio, they always seem to play an ad for a company called Reputation Defender (aka Reputation.com http://www.reputation.com/). Reputation Defender is an online company that, for a monthly cost, searches the Internet for websites that mention you or your company and rates the results based on how they think it impacts your reputation. If they come across something that they think hurts your reputation, you can pay them about $30.00 per web page to get the information removed from the website.

How do they remove the information from websites? By sending the website owner an email that says little more than "please remove the information on your website". Then the owner of the website can choose to remove it or not. If they chose not to remove the information, you do not get your money back from Reputation Defender. So Reputation Defender charges you $30.00 to send a template email to the website owner to ask if they would remove the information. Though your reputation online is important, Reputation Defender does nothing you can not do yourself.

First start by going to Google and searching for your company name in quotes followed by the city your company is in, such as:

"Company Name" Knoxville

It is also beneficial to play around with Google's advanced search to see what other search entries work best for finding information about your company. Next go to Pipl at http://pipl.com and search for yourself. If you find any negative information on a website about your company or yourself, contact the owner of the website. If you are unable to find an email address on the website, try entering the domain name into http://whois.domaintools.com/ and you should get a valid email address to contact the website owner with.

Email the website owner asking if they would remove the information and why, asking nicely can go a long way. If what is on the website is defaming and fails information, than be a little more assertive in your email and say that you will take legal action if you need to. If the website owner is unwilling to remove the information and you think that it is defaming and fails information, seek the advice of a lawyer.

Reputation.com is a great company. Without Michael Fertik and Reputation.com, none of us would remember that big-tittied Heide Iravani's felon dad stole money from starving third-world poors to buy her a pony or that lying bitch Brittan Heller got a 157 on her LSATs. It's really a community service.

Ahh. I really wish I read this website before giving reputation defender and their giant scam way too much money.

I want my money back Michael Fertik! You are not going to scam me out of thousands of dollars this easily.

Literally, all the service they sold me was a bunch of free websites. They are all the popular social sites and are easy to sign up for. After digging around, found Searchmanipulator, they gave me 18 more websites than Reputation.com did, and you can do it yourself for $29.99 (which I did and it was suprisingly quick) with some Google program that has the forms already filled out and gives you messages being like "hey do this here".

If you want it free, here is the websites they used for me...just make sure to do the backlinks and that stuff.

Reputation Defender spend more money on burrying their own complaints than they do their customers. They are a huge bait and switch company.

Hey Reputation Defender! If you are so good at removing bad links, see if yo can have this one removed! ReputationDefender.com can not even remove their own complaints and reptation defender reviews that are bad. How can they help you???

Avoid them at all cost! They will rob yo uand take your money and only put in 3 hours of work! At the rate they charge yo are paying $500 an hour for nothing!

What a scam - all of you reputation defenders online are scams and rip offs. You most likely own rip off report and complaintsboard - bunch of damn frauds. Rot in hell, bitch.

I want my money back Michael Fertik - i will get it one way or another, either in a refund or revenge. You cant remove shit

I took your advice, gentleman above me, and hired Search Manipulator for my small business after having huge issues with Reputation.com.

Reputation kept asking for more and more money for more websites, it was absurd. I didn't use the $30 software from searchmanipulator.com, but instead had them do 65 websites for me. Search Manipulator charged me 15% of what reputation.com did and gave me more than 3x websites! Search Manipulator openly admits too that anyone can do this, and it shouldnt cost that much. Avoid Reputation.com at all costs friends, its time consuming work, but not thousands of dollars time consuming.
