Remove Ripoff Report

Well, can it be done? Can negative information really be removed from RipoffReport.com like so many companies claim?

Let’s take a look at what Ripoff Report themselves say about it:

Our Policy: Why We NEVER Remove Reports

Since the Ripoff Report was started in 1998, our policy has always remained the same ­­­– we never remove reports. We will not remove reports even when they are claimed to contain defamatory statements and even if the original author requests it. Some people have criticized this policy as being unfair, but we strongly feel this policy is essential, fair, and far better than the alternative – rampant censorship.

The reasons for our policy are simple.

First, this site is most effective when all complaints are maintained and preserved so that over time patterns of truly bad business practices are exposed. If we removed reports after a certain period of time, this would provide consumers with less information to use when evaluating a company. Unlike the Better Business Bureau (which deletes complaints after just 36 months), we maintain a permanent record of all complaints. This ensures that our viewers have more information rather than less.

Second, if we removed complaints on request this would give companies an incentive to pressure authors to remove true and accurate reports in exchange for money or simply to avoid a costly lawsuit. It’s a well-known fact that most people aren’t willing or able to spend $100k in legal fees defending a defamation lawsuit, so even when a person has written a 100% true report, there is a huge amount of pressure for them to just remove it when threatened with legal action.

That pretty well sums it up, doesn’t it? If not, you can visit their site and read the long version of this page, but I assure you, they are not going to remove negative information from any of the Ripoff Report pages. Not now, not ever. Because they don’t have to. The bottom line is that they are protected by law. So any company claiming that they can remove ripoff report information is flat out lying to you. They cannot.

What we can do is displace that information. In as short as 6 weeks we can move your ripoff report information from page one of the Google results.

Don’t get sucked in by scams claiming they can remove ripoff reports for any price. Do however do something about that negative ripoff report information and give our office a call at 800-818-6286. We can help your online reputation and we can stop ripoff report in their tracks.

hotel-reputationHotel owners and travel agents alike know how important it is to maintain a pristine reputation. If your hotel has a bad rep, your sales suffer.

Because the travel and accommodations market is so super competitive, it leaves hotel owners wide open to false claims and negative comments online. Even when they are completely invalid, they can really hurt a hotel and the hotel’s owner right where it counts. In the pocketbook.

Hotel review sites are all the rage these days. Coupled with the travel forums, negative commentary by travelers can absolutely ruin a hotel. › Continue reading…
