The best defense is a good offense.
A stitch in time saves nine.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Clichés become clichés by having the ring to truth. When it comes to your reputation, all of these clichés apply.
The internet has been a dynamic tool for those in business. It allows companies to advertise, sell products, provide information, communicate with customers, and participate in a global market. Businesses need to be connected in order to compete. The same tool, however, can be devastating to companies' reputations.
Companies work for years to build trust and respect amongst customers and other businesses. To be seen as strong, honest, hard-working, and dedicated to their products and services is vital for companies.
All of this hard work can be destroyed seemingly overnight.
It seems incomprehensible, but negative press can spread like wildfire through the internet, damaging the reputation you've worked to build.
Blogs, forums, message boards, and consumer websites provide a needed service to consumers: it allows them to share ideas, opinions, and news. It also allows unscrupulous, malicious competitors, former employees or customers to rant and spread rumors. This becomes a problem on the internet because they can find a wide audience for their views. One angry person can typically find another, and soon they have broadened the scope of their attacks. Potential customers enter your company's name into a search engine and are confronted with numerous, high-ranking negative results. Because they appear so high in the results, it gives them the appearance of being true. They can be filled with lies, misinformation, and outdated material, but because they are among the first ten or so results, they will receive a lot of attention.
