From Huffington Post’s “See the 31 Most Innovative Start-Ups”:

ReputationDefender allows businesses to track how their company is perceived on the Web. In an examination of the state of Internet privacy, the New York Times described the company’s services:

For a fee, the company will monitor your online reputation, contacting Web sites individually and asking them to take down offending items. In addition, with the help of the kind of search-optimization technology that businesses use to raise their Google profiles, ReputationDefender can bombard the Web with positive or neutral information about its customers, either creating new Web pages or by multiplying links to existing ones to ensure they show up at the top of any Google search.
