Very little actual content,

This review is from: Do It Yourself Online Reputation Management: A Step-By-Step Guide To Building Or Repairing Your Online Reputation (Paperback)
This book has about 160 pages. Doesn't sound too bad. But first of all, the pages are small. Secondly, there are on average 10 lines per page, often less. Thirdly, many pages are blank or filled with unimportant screen shots. Taken together, the 160 pages would have filled at most 20 pages of a regular book.For the content - this book focuses more on how to use websites than focus on the actual process of managing and securing your online reputation. The few tips given in this book are easily available online or through other, much better books. I flipped through this book in less than a half-hour and the only piece of information that was helpful was the list of websites where I can "claim" my online identity. I cannot recommend this book for people who really want to learn something more in-depth about online reputation. If you have no clue whatsoever, this book might be a start but nothing more. As I said above, a big portion of the book is simply how to register with and use specific websites. I am glad I got a good deal on the book because it is not worth more than $5... A good ebook perhaps.

Pleasant surprise,
This review is from: Do It Yourself Online Reputation Management: A Step-By-Step Guide To Building Or Repairing Your Online Reputation (Paperback)
Wow what a surprise. This is a great little book! I know little about the Internet and I wanted to beef up my reputation as I am going back into the job force and know that many employers look to the internet first before hiring but had no idea how to do it. I thought about hiring one of those reputation companies online but then saw this book and figured I would take a shot. All I could say is I am already seeing results and it was so easy to do. All I did was follow the book step by step and like magic my search results started displaying what I wanted them to display about me! Now each day is like Christmas morning when I look online and watch how what I added to the Internet shows up under my name and the results change. The book even shows you how to get images you want to show up as well- which is fantastic for my boyfriend who is an artist. I was amazed at the way the book was written "for dummies" style and glad it was set up that way being internet challenged.

This book offers a great start to developing and/repairing your online reputation. Living in an increasingly technological world that is so influenced by data; it is important that truthful information prevail over rumors. That's why I bought the book and I will refer to it often. It's short but contains a wealth of information and lists of sites where the process can begin.I don't hesitate to recommend this book to my friends.
