I heard about that site and started researching it and all they really do drown out defamatory pages with sites they build themselves. They charge $1,000 per site and Google only shows 1-3 sites in search results, so getting harassing pages off the first page of Google would cost as much as a new car.
I think that I could consolidate costs by sharing domains across multiple customers. It would cut down domain costs and would share search ranking between customers. Sites about Bob would appear under the same domains as Alice. Once Bob's sites come up first on Google, Alice can be added to sites on the same domains that already have a high ranking. The setup will include several domain names, each belonging to a Wordpress multisite using subdomains. Customers will pay and I'll set up one or two sites about them on each domain. I'll give each customer an account on each blog network so they can make their own sites that share domain's search rank and help wash out search results. As I get more customers I'll register more domains so that my sites can wash out more of the search results. Just the first page with Reputation.com would cost as much as a car, and anybody doing a background check will likely check the first few pages at least.
Getting the money is a hurdle. I can take payment on PayPal and Bitcoin, transfer PayPal to Bitcoin, transfer to a personal wallet, then convert to personal PayPal and withdraw the money. Question is whether I can tell the IRS that it's through legitimate online services but nothing about the site when it comes time to pay taxes on it.
Is this possible?
I plan to change $100 at first and then raise the price to $1,000 once I build up reputability. I think that's a fair price for restoring one's reputation. I am considering a service for small time webmasters to wash out defamation by trolls against their site. The price might be around $100 but it would only be for restoring the reputation of websites run by only one or a few people.
