We started this information before: Dr. Jason Samuels [name and circumstances have been changed to protect the confidentiality of our client] was a highly-respected pediatrician in our community. He spent 15 years building a thriving practice. He was the go-to referral from numerous other health-care providers in town. Mothers bragged that he was their children's doctor. And he even joked that he hadn’t done any real marketing in years because other people kept his waiting room filled. Life was good!

So it was until February 19th of last year.

It was barely perceptible when it started. His office manager noticed a downturn in the number of new referrals that month. Still, he had so many steady patients that it really didn’t catch his attention for a while.

By the following month, Dr. Samuels was in VERY serious trouble. There were NO new referrals and his long-term patients were not rescheduling appointments. And by the end of that month, even the scheduled appointments started canceling. Something was wrong.

Dr. Samuels could not believe what was happening to him – he just knew that his business was drying up. He’d gone from barely-a-moment-to-breathe busy to way-too-much-time-on-his-hands in under two months!

He saw the fear in his wife's eyes as she worried out loud about the college bills for their two boys. He worried that he'd have to tap his wife's savings since he couldn't provide for his family with only half of his income trickling in. He even worried about all the loans he had to pay: college, med school, home mortgage, car. He wasn't living high, but he felt the American Dream slipping through his fingers.

Something was very wrong.

With his sudden new-found free time, Dr. Samuels began to investigate. But referral sources were suddenly too busy to take his call, and they didn't bother to call back. He was desperate to find out what was wrong.

It was then that he remembered what a friend had suggested several months earlier and he went online to search his name on Google.

The blood ran out of his face and his hands began to shake…

Let's continue: Dr. Samuels had found his problem. He called his friend who went online to search Dr. Samuels's name and exclaimed: "Did you read what that guy just wrote about you on that blog? It’s gone viral. Man, your reputation is getting trashed! Ouch!"

Before we tell you what Dr. Samuels did after that, let's ask a few questions:

What emotions would you feel if tomorrow morning you walked out the door of your house and found that someone had used a can of spray paint to write horrible things about you on the side of your house or car? Would you feel violated? Would you get angry? Would you feel embarrassed at the looks from neighbors and passers by?

Legally, we are all presumed innocent until proven guilty. Socially, we all know that it works the other way around: Once tainted, our reputations will always carry that hint of doubt. “What if it’s true?” people might think.

As frightening as that scenario sounds, at least the information can be removed with fresh paint. It may take weeks to get it done, it might cost you thousands of dollars, but once painted over with enough coats of quality paint, the words are gone forever! Phewwww…..

But what about online?

When your reputation is attacked online, the remedy is far from simple. The Internet was designed to spread information far and wide and at amazing speeds. And once posted (and within minutes), that information does not exist in any ONE location anymore – it's all over the place!

What would you do if you suddenly became the victim of an angry, trash-talking blogger or a disgruntled client? What would you do if some seemingly-insignificant incident in your life suddenly raced out of control and resulted in a legal or ethical claim being filed against you?

As you can imagine, it's now a matter of public record. Licensing Board complaints and many legal filings are easily accessed online now. Liens against real estate are now available online for every reporter and third-rate blogger to dive into. And if the WikiLeaks people taught us anything, it's how quickly information zooms around the world.

In recent years, people have become aware of the damage that identity theft can do to a credit rating. But what people have not even BEGUN to wake up to is the danger of an Internet Identity Incident. To lose some money to someone posing as you is invasive enough. To lose your reputation online where it appears day after day after day is disastrous.

Someone posting damaging information about you online can have a devastating impact. Rapidly this can explode into a Disastrous Internet Identity (Dii) for the world to see.

Let's assume that your attacker has no valid basis and you can easily defend yourself legally. Though it may take a few weeks or months to get that settled, that's only the legal side: the damage online has already been done and will continue to pull you down!

Nothing posted online can ever be taken back.

It used to be that an incident had to hit a newspaper or television news to have your reputation damaged in this way. The odds were against that for the average professional person.

What about now?

Now, someone with a few hundred "friends" on Facebook and a relatively small following on Twitter can unleash a torrent of devastation with a quick wit. Those friends just have to hit “Like” and those Twitter followers just have to re-Tweet to their own lists and news about you is around the globe.

And someone with a personal blog has even MORE power.

One person can easily reach millions within three degrees of separation. It can happen in minutes. It’s happening right now to someone just like you. (We HOPE it's not actually happening to you.)

The damage can begin with a single frustrated, disgruntled, or emotionally unbalanced client, customer, patient, employee, or contractor – and depending on how vulnerable you are, they don't even have to try very hard to hurt you.

It could be as innocent as someone spouting off some frustration in the mistaken belief that they are somehow speaking privately to “Friends.” Messages get forwarded because they seem funny. Text can be copied and pasted regardless of privacy setting. There is no valid privacy online. And context is rapidly lost.

The Internet’s primary function is the rapid spread and easy access of information. And once the electronic cat is out of the bag, there is no reversing the flood of information. Beware of any company claiming the ability to magically scour the Internet on your behalf and remove undesirable content. This is pure fantasy. It simply cannot be done.

What has changed in the era of Facebook, Twitter, and blogs is the devastating impact that one person with a keyboard and an ax to grind can have on YOUR life. We all have our own mini-media-empire at our finger tips. Trouble is, so does EVERYONE else!

Charlie relates this personal story:

A few years ago a web designer promised me a new shopping cart for one of my websites. He talked a really good story and I thought he would deliver for me. But when he showed me what he had, I couldn't accept it.

He went ballistic. Swore at me over the phone, told me that he had already paid his "people in India," and that he knew where I lived and would get his money "out" of me. It was the worst verbal barrage I've ever suffered.

This sounded really bad to me, especially when he threatened my family and me, so I called my local police.

The police made it go away within three weeks, though the shadow of what he might do lingered much longer.

But what the police couldn't help me with were the vitriolic statements spewed all over the Internet about me. My family heritage was question. The marriage of my parents was question (you know what I mean!). And this person was a horrible pain.

And it was through this that I learned some terrific lessons that Dr. Marc and I will share with you – lessons to protect your Internet Identity from a creep like this.

You may not yet be aware of this, but right now numerous online services like “Angie’s List” or “Health Grades” are aggressively encouraging your patients, your clients, and your customers to go online and rate your professional services, your customer service, YOUR professional reputation.

These sites used to rate only the local handyman. Now they rate the local pediatrician, too. And the accountant, the therapist, the attorney, and the candlestick maker.

Okay, so by now you probably followed our suggestion in the upper right corner of this page, searched your name on Google and the name of your business or practice… and you are about to let yourself enjoy a sigh of relief. You didn’t find anything that drained the blood out of your face nor started your hands shaking like our friend Dr. Samuels.

You found no disgruntled patient as he had. No legal matter looming over your head. No angry contractor the way Charlie had.

And you think to yourself: “Whew… I knew I had no reason to worry because I provide great service and I am very attentive to the needs and satisfaction of my clients.”

We're quite certain that you do which is why we FEAR so much for your safety.

The truth is: you do not yet fully appreciate just how vulnerable you are.

What did you REALLY find in those Google results? Surely you found at least some information about yourself and your business, right? (If not, you have a different problem, but we'll handle that later.) But WHOSE information are you looking at on pages one, two, and three?

Is it YOUR message? More importantly, are you in CONTROL of the sources of that information?

It is not enough for your information simply to BE on page one of Google. You need to completely DOMINATE pages one, two, and three.

Ideally, there should be NOTHING on those pages that YOU did not put there.

If what you find there is not content that YOU personally put out with the intention of establishing and maintaining a positive online identity, then you have NO real control. You have no defense when that angry blogger suddenly steamrolls into your life. He will be on page one of the Google search results when someone searches your name (formerly your "good name").

What will you do then?

What happens if you discovered that you already suffer from a Disastrous Internet Identity?

What if you find negative information about yourself online? Career-threatening statements that will turn away any prospect who does even a cursory search about you? What if it's information that you don't want your mother to see? Or your spouse? Or business associates and future joint-venture partners?

Your time is critical. Remediation must begin right away.

Not only do you have a problem that must be fixed immediately before it becomes worse (like the spread of a virus, these negative viral attacks spread quickly), but you are open to other attacks. Why? Because if ONE person can spew negativity so easily on the front page of Google, then others can too.

It's like the bad apple in the bushel – first you need to get rid of the rotting mass of destruction that is infecting the others and then you must prevent any new spread of damage from occurring. And the sooner you get started, the easier your cure will be.

Clearly you can take the steps we outline above in the yellow box. If you know what you're doing here online, how to blog, how to use Twitter and Facebook, flood the Internet with solid content to push away the negative content you discovered about yourself, then you can handle all of this yourself.

Just send us an email to let us know how you did! We want to share your success story (and, of course, we'll protect your name when we do!).

However, if you need our experience and expertise, it's time to contact us immediately.

We will immediately go into crisis mode for you. We'll ignite our Rapid Reputation Repair system to help you.

We will Repair Your Legend Now. It will take some time and a significant mobilization of resources to achieve this goal before the damage spreads any further. But it’s not too late to Repair Your Reputation if you act immediately.

But our sincere hope is that you have found us BEFORE discovering a Disastrous Internet Identity.

Working together, we will take you through our Repair Your Own Legend Now and Create Your Own Legend Now systems and use those parts that best work for your individual situation, including:

Assess: Our work together begins with a comprehensive Online Personality Assessment. We will show you what you really look like to the searching public. And we will probe deeply so that you are not taken by surprise later.

Correct: After we Assess what your online reputations looks like, we'll correct it with lots of content flooding Google. As we said before, beware of any company claiming the ability to magically scour the Internet on your behalf and remove undesirable content. This is pure fantasy. It simply cannot be done.

So we must Correct your Disastrous Internet Identity by flooding it off of the first 5 – 10 pages of Google. Washing the landscape is the only way to clear up the mess you found. We'll show you how we do this because done correctly, it will put any negative information out of the gaze of searches about you.

Makeover: Then we do a Makeover. Just like a cosmetic makeover you may have seen on TV, we will make you look different online. That's where our Create Your Own Legend Now system comes into play: This is the only way that you can protect your hard-earned professional reputation. You must actively and aggressively feed Google the kind of information you want it to see so that it can serve it to your prospects and clients.

Monitor: Next, we will put in place a vigilant monitoring system so that you have an ongoing Online Identity Dashboard alerting you immediately if any trouble appears, allowing you to take corrective steps. If Dr. Samuels had been monitoring his online reputation (where just about everyone goes to check someone's reputation), he would have immediately known that someone had posted a negative comment about him.

And, of course, if he had been following our system of content creation and content distribution, negative information would never have penetrated the dense wall of information that clearly demonstrated who he was. The best defense is a deep, positive, online presence. And that's what Create Your Own Legend Now is all about!
