Eddie Hotra & Reputation Management
My friend Eddie Hotra and I had a small chat about Online Reputation Management. In my experiences, ORM is all about "taking as many top spots in search engines for your name as possible". This isn't a huge concentration of my career, but still something to keep in mind.
The following are big candidates for ranking on your company's name:

The following are big candidates for ranking on your company's name:
Sites you own:
- Company Website
- Subdomains of Company Website - Company Blog, etc
- Auxiliary Sites - mysitefacts.com, mysitegear.com, etc
- Social Networking Sites - Myspace, LinkedIn, YouTube, Meetup, Facebook, Digg, Twitter, etc
- PR Release sites - Ezinearticles, etc
- Being a "guest author" on someone else's site (and have your name / business name prominent)
- Actively comment on lots of blogs / forums / newspaper sites, with intelligent things to say, leaving the name you'd like to do ORM on. This one's more of a "shot-gun approach", you leave 100 comments and hope 3 of them get ranked in search engines for that name.
