Wow. This just cracked me up. I watched iCaught on ABC tonight and they had a story on what they called E-venge, or internet revenge and reputation management. The show featured a company called Reputation Defender. The story reports:
For $10 dollars a month, ReputationDefender will monitor what’s being said about a client online, and for $30 an item will contact Web sites to remove negative content.
When asked how they do it ReputationDefender’s founder Michael Fertik said in the interview that he couldn’t “give away the secret” to how this is done. I checked out the company’s web site and it looks very professional and to some it may be a good deal but it took me a while to stop laughing after hearing that statement. Their “MyReputation Advocate” service claims:
Our trained and expert online reputation advocates use an array of proprietary techniques developed in-house to correct and/or completely remove the selected unwanted content from the web.
Proprietary techniques to completely remove content from the web! Golly. That’s amazing! What an awesome power!
Anybody reading this who is interested in their $10 a month monitoring service, I’ll help you set up a Google alert for your name for a one time $5 and you’ll be able to monitor your name daily. As for magically deleting content from the web…well I’ll leave that to those with proprietary techniques.

I setup a google alert but it didn’t find some of the negative things that were said about me. Just my two cents.
