After having a nice recent conversation with Jeff Liebert lately, I read his fantastic post in the WMW supporter’s forum about Are Businesses and People Adapting to the WWW Publicity Machine? As a brief aside, he had a note about declaring his emancipation proclamation for owning his own name online, so I thought I’d give a few tidbits, based on some of the stuff I’ve done. I had that same AHA! moment several years ago, when I noticed my resume online ranking for my name, and decided it was time to take a more proactive approach. Google results are your new resume whether you’re going on a date, getting a job, or representing your company. Reputation management is the new personal branding. Here’s some tips on emancipating your reputation. It’s not EASY - but it’s better than having a video of someone singing bad karoake ranking for your name.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jay Westerdal at SMX Seattle, and got to chat a bit about the great idea of SEO’s and domainers being internet superfriends by combining their super powers. So here’s your first chance. If you’re here often, you’ll know I don’t often hawk people’s wares, unless I really think their worthwhile (I’m not getting paid for this by the way you fickle, fickle readers:). There’s huge emerging opportunity for these groups of people to work together, and networking and understanding is the first step in that process. Stephen Douglas (the conference promoter) did, however, send me a special promo code for the readers here. The first 10 people that signup using the code “malicoat1″ will get an extra $100 off the lowered $995 price of the conference. The conference will be held August 13th - 15th at the Seattle Sheraton.
