Marketing a Celebrity Online - Part 1May 10 2007 | SEO, Social Networks |
Don’t think the rich and famous lose sleep at night after a Google vanity search returns unfavorable results? Think again.
A few months back, a particular celebrity called me, out of the blue, looking to hire someone to help him sleep better at night. Apparently a certain result for his name on a Google query, was causing him much distress. He felt that the search result, a blog post, attacked him in a way that was so malicious and unfair, and that his professional reputation was in jeopardy. He obtained my phone number through a friend of a friends, cousin, twice removed (a little exaggeration there) - who told him I might be able to help with this sort of stuff. He asked me if I could remove the malicious post - I told him I could not - but can possible bury it into the deep abyss of the Google index. He found favor in my solution, and so our journey began.
