Reputation Management on Meetup.com
Published March 26th, 2009 in Search ManipulationHave you tried putting up your profile and joining a couple of groups on Meetup.com? After one week or two those profiles will quickly rise to the top as meetup.com has done a great job on SEO and internal linking throughout the site and its subdomains. At some point that it is too strong where several profiles overrun the first page results, and a few will lag behind on the 2nd page that it felt a bit like spamming. Initially, I thought linkedin, zoominfo, or facebook profiles were good for online reputation management. I was so wrong until I joined meetup.com; now don’t get me wrong I did not join up for search manipulation purposes. Just noticing the exceptionally strong reputation management results due to the site’s strong SEO efforts.
Here is why you would use meetup.com to overrun search results for your name? Suppose your name was written up for something negative on newspapers or press releases that you want to bury in search results quickly.

Twitter just got into the business of optimizing for names. Yes full names. About time. Now if they would just fix their H1 heading tags, and stop misapplying them.
This is a great SEO play to capture as many names as possible on natural search. De-emphasize the twitter handles.
Twitter will leave dominate this area in a few weeks because facebook, and myspace profiles are private. Linkedin, and zoominfo is too limited to working professionals and the information is not as fresh as twitter.
what is the reason to joining a couple of groups on Meetup.com ?
You definitely need to be careful with what you put out there, it gets indexed and there is no reclaiming it….. ever
