Cleaning Up Your Google Results is Not Difficult Anymore!

Old blog posts and archives can sometimes get very embarrassing. At the same time, cleaning up and improving your search engine reputation can be really difficult. As we all know, Google will remove a particular search result from it results list only if it can be proved that the web page is being used for some kind of theft.

Online reputation management services are offered by various companies. They aid you in detecting and downplaying the embarrassing search result pages by using a software algorithm used by all the major search engines. However, it becomes really difficult for private individuals to do the same. Unless you're able to prove that a web page is posing a threat to your personal security, removing search terms altogether is almost impossible. For established journalist types, it is easy to add bulk to their Google queues. It just gets difficult for those without media pillows. But, worry not! Here are a few tricks that can help you in manipulating the search engine results in your favor.

Sign up for accounts on different social media networks. Sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn rank very well in search engine result pages. This will make it easier for you to push down all the undesired content. If an old blog post or a small article that includes information about you that you want to hide, you can always contact the owner of the site and ask for a removal.

Try to create a personal blog or a web page. Even if you use a Tumblr page, it will rank high for you if your name is used. Use it as a branding tool and update your content with informative articles.

Use an alias as your professional name. You can consider this option only if your search results are too damaging. Change all your social media accounts to this name.
