No One Can Remove Rip Off Reports

July 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Over the past few years thousands of businesses have been struggling with a big problem, how to remove rip off reports. Rip Off Report is an online complaint portal that allows anyone to sign-up and post a highly visible online complaint. Creating a rip off report about a business or individual is like creating your own search engine optimized web page. RipOffReport.com links and complaints usually rank very high on Google and other major search engines.

Having a rip off report about your business can damage your online reputation and cause your business to lose sales. The complaint website has been online for over 10 years and currently has close to 600,000 companies listed as a “Rip Off”.

There is no way to actually remove a rip off report from the internet completely. The website even states that they never remove complaint even if the original author requests it. No one can force rip off report to remove a complaint.

Ripoff Report audaciously states on their website, “Ripoff Report has been sued on many occasions based on the content which our users have created and posted. If you are considering suing Ripoff Report because of a report which you claim is defamatory, you should be aware that to date, Ripoff Report has never lost such a case (with one exception; explained below). This is because of a federal law called the Communications Decency Act or “CDA”, 47 U.S.C. § 230.” The CDA Law basically states that an internet service provider like ripoffreport.com is not responsible for the content that a user posts.

The most effective way to deal with a rip off report complaint is to remove it from the top of Google’s search results using online reputation management tactics. By displacing or burying the rip off report link deeper on Google you will make it harder find and less likely to be read by potential clients.

Reputation management in this situation involves search engine optimization and social media optimization. The process involves creating new positive content about your name or company name and promoting existing content in order to push it above the ‘bad links”.
