How important is internet reputation management to you? Have you ever searched Google for your name and seen what comes up? You may be surprised at the results. Most people neglect to think about personal reputation management until it is too late. The fact is you never really know what is being said about you until you take the initiative to check. Potential employers could be searching, so are you confident with what is out there?

Here are a couple of ways to do your own personal reputation management:

• Search Google and other major search engines to see what is out there.
• Address any negative results by replying with either an answer or solution.
• Create a blog and make sure your name is prominent on it.
• Take advantage of social media and networking sites such as LinkedIn.com.
• Continue to monitor search results every month and repeat the above steps.

For the majority of us, the suggested steps will work just fine. However, there are cases in which you may want to acquire professional internet reputation management. Politicians and other authority figures would especially benefit from professional services.
