Credo Media Group, a specialty PR and Internet marketing company, launches an online reputation repair service for victims of Internet defamation.
Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) December 5, 2007 -- As Internet usage continues to grow at an astonishing rate, so too has online defamation, which continues to be a major issue for many individuals, companies and organizations. As a result, a Florida-based public relations firm is now offering online reputation repair services to combat the growing problem of online defamation.
"Internet defamation is a widespread problem that can have devastating economic consequences for companies," said Gary Greaves, president of Credo Media Group, a specialty PR, media relations and Internet marketing company.
"Our new reputation repair service is designed to offset harmful information and improve the online image of victims," he added.
Applying unique and proprietary methods, Credo Media Group's reputation repair campaigns are specifically designed to push away or remove defamatory information from the top spots of search engine results.
Commonly referred to as cybersmear, defamation can appear anywhere from message boards to online complaint sites, destroying a company's reputation and finances in the process.
Lawsuits are an option, however, Section 230(c)(1) of the Communications Decency Act provides immunity to site owners and Internet service providers, forcing victims to sue individual posters who often remain anonymous. Many times, unmasking these "John Does" can be a difficult and expensive process.
Additionally, Greaves warns of the potential pitfalls when combating defamation the wrong way.
"Directly responding to negative posts and attempting to refute information will often backfire," he said. "You will only create more content for the search engines to index, resulting in a higher position for the unwanted information."
Known primarily for its traditional public relations efforts, Credo Media Group is now experiencing strong demand for the new reputation repair service, indicating how widespread the problem has become for many companies.
He concluded, "We've already made a huge impact for some clients and this new service is a great solution for those experiencing the nightmare of online defamation."
