Here are a bunch of links on the topic.

    Great takeaway paragraph from the post ...
    How we find the information that is important to us has changed dramatically over the last ten years. We now live in a world where the internet and search engines dominate our business, personal and professional research. How we are seen by others can be enhanced or degraded in an instant and our personal brand, whether good or bad, can be now globally amplified.

    You don't have to be crazy to make it go viral...
    The hard part is devising an intelligent campaign that fits with the brand of your company. Viral marketing doesn’t have to be gimmicky videos, if you’re focussing on a core market, then your ‘viral agent’ need only be a message on your own website that is provocative or enticing enough to prompt visitors to pass the URL of that page on to others that would be interested. So whatever format your viral marketing takes, do make it as easy as possible for people to spread the word, such as ’share with a friend’ links.

This is where an online reputation management company can help you. Since the most common way a person finds these complaints is by searching you name on google and other search engines, all that needs to be done is make sure they can’t find them!

    A bad review can affect a small business even more than a big business

    Sacramento Search Engine Optimization

    One element in Search Engine Optimization is linking to a page with the anchor text you want Google, Yahoo and others to index for that page. I'm experimenting with a google search for the words William Farrell. It won't be easy, there are over 1,000 William Farrells in the world, but I've already ranked one of these pages to the front page of Google and another one of the front page of Yahoo. Do an experiment, go to Google, search for Willam Farrell, and click on the link that you think will lead you to William Farrell, barefoot water skier of Sacramento.

    I've already completed a similar experiment for Julie Gallaher, Jeannie Hanson and Liesel Hanson.
