We are living in an increasingly cyber-connected world. We share
photos, listen to music, watch movies, and connect with friends, all on
the Internet. As our relationship to the World Wide Web changes, we must
be willing to change alongside it.
A journalist for InternetReputation.com shares their top three reasons for keeping an eye on your online reputation.
Starting a Career
A compromising photo, bad press, an old court order; all can come up in search engines. Content from your past and present can creep forward in Google, Yahoo!, and Bing, damaging your personal reputation. Whether you are just starting your professional life, or have been working in your career for decades, maintaining a positive reputation online is imperative. One of the leading tools that employers use to research potential employees are search engines. Keeping your name clean will provide you with more opportunities than if you are negatively portrayed on the Internet.
Keeping Your Business Competitive
If you are the owner of a business, whether large or small, you are likely aware of the search engine results that pop up when you type in your company’s name. Your search is likely to yield both positive and negative reviews of your services and products, and while a couple of negative reviews can be expected, others can be completely devastating to your brand. Do not allow for those reviews to impact your company’s reputation, but take charge and keep yourself competitive by improving your image.
Staying Aware
Keeping an eye on your online reputation will help to keep you socially, culturally, and professionally aware of your brand, whether it be for a business, or for you, personally. Understanding the importance of maintaining a positive Internet reputation will allow you to stay ahead of the average person. In today’s world, there is nothing more beneficial than staying a step ahead.
