I just heard an ad for this on local talk radio:

http://www.reputation.com

My first gut-reaction was it's an easy way for Taurus to hide all the reviews of their guns on TFL/THR. >:D  Seems to me to be a way to "buy" points in search engines and elevate your product above the frequency of negative-oriented hits.

Thoughts?

I reject your authoritah!

We can't afford that much!  It would cost at least $20.   =D

Probably inevitable.

I know of at least one attempt to spin an ongoing unresolved scandal using such a service.  (Hint: net grep "Ergun Caner".)

Per second.

Something tells me that Google probably doesn't like people actively trying to screw with their rankings and results.

What scandal? I've seen Dr Caner speak before, I really enjoyed him.

Huh, so Liberty let him go? And he apparently made some mistakes in the exact dates and times he lived in various places? Yesterday someone asked me how old I was and it took me a minute to think if I was 27 or 28: color me unimpressed if a preacher mis-speaks about his exact biographical details.

It appears it's mostly Muslims offended by his conversion and Christians angered by the fact that he has criticized certain issues with the Southern Baptists and other sects who are eagerly trying to find a reason to attack him. I pay as much attention to HuffPo's smears on him as I did their attacks on Bush.

Since 09/11/2001 and becoming a sought after "expert on Islam", his personal backstory has mutated.

Hasn't this sort of thing been happening in politics for a while now?
