5 Ways You May Be Ruining Your Online Reputation | Social Media ...

It?s easy to lose your good name in real life through misconduct or bad behavior, but at least the fallout is generally contained within a relatively small geographical area. You can always move to a new town and start over. On the internet? Not so much. Your reach is much greater, so the potential for your reputation to be damaged is exponentially higher. Not to mention that what goes on the net stays on the net. Apart from directly putting people down or starting text fights, these are the five most likely things you may be doing that are ruining your online reputation.??

Spamming people

If you are a business, you are probably sending too many messages to customers or potential customers, period. In addition, most of these messages are likely spammy, sales-pitch messages. If this sounds like you or your business, the best thing you can do to curb this harmful activity is to learn about permission marketing. ?

Posting inappropriate content

You can?t delete your online activity. No matter how many times you hit the delete button, that post, picture, or comment is still there, stored forever and ever in the mystical land of the cache. If you don?t know what that means, just believe me - it?s all still there, and those who know how to find it can. The rule of thumb I like to use? If you wouldn?t email it to your mom, don?t post it anywhere online. ?

Not tracking yourself

Have you Googled yourself lately? You might be surprised how much comes up. Depending on how active you are online, there could be pages of results. If you are going to use online communications (and if you?re not, you can go ahead and close up shop now), then you need to know what your reputation looks like online. Googling yourself is only one general way to see how your online presence is being seen by others. A much better method is to use a social media monitoring dashboard?to track real-time engagement with your customers. A good dashboard will tell you what people are saying about you or your company when they say it, and give you the ability to respond right away to either thank them for positive feedback or engage them to try to fix whatever issue is giving them a negative opinion.

Being negative

People?s natural tendency is to be negative. It?s easy to complain about things instead of being positive. You will be known by your perceived attitude, and that perception is shaped online by what you choose to put there. This does not mean that you can?t post controversial?things online, but the way you choose to discuss them will determine whether your readers interpret your musings as interesting or annoying. Be positive, be inquisitive, but don?t be negative. ?

Talking only about yourself

You know that there is nothing more interesting in the world than you and what you have to say, but trust me when I say that your followers, friends, and subscribers have a different opinion of what is interesting. Social media is about engagement. Engagement is a conversation. Do you remember the last time you tried to have a conversation with someone who only talked about themselves? Those are the times when you suddenly remember that thing you had to do across town, and then politely excuse yourself. Your readers don?t have to excuse themselves; they just stop reading and don?t come back. If you are not capturing their attention, you are losing the game. Rest assured that your latest sale is not the most interesting thing in their list of choices of what to spend their time reading. If you get their attention first, however, they just might pay attention to your sales.

The Second Time Around

It is hard to remember how much better things are in America today than they were four years ago when Barack Obama took the oath of office for the first time.

Then, we were in the middle of two raging wars, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.

Now, one of those wars is ending, the other is over, and the most hated and feared man in recent times, Osama bin Laden, is dead.

Then, we were in the throes of an economy on a dizzying downward slide, the worst and most frightening recession since the Great Depression.

Now, while many of our fellow citizens are still looking for work and can't find it, or are working in jobs that don't meet their wants and needs, unemployment is heading downward and housing prices are heading upward.

It may not be "morning in America" ? the theme of Ronald Reagan's successful reelection campaign in 1984 ? but it is not midnight, either. We did not go over the fiscal cliff.

So why doesn't it feel better?

When I think back on the first Obama inauguration, it seemed to be a moment of optimism and celebration.

When I think on this one, it was Monday. I almost forgot to turn on the speech. It seemed like a very nice speech, but if you asked me to remember a single line just one day later, I'd be stumped.

When I asked other people what they thought of it all, I heard more opinions about Michelle's new hairdo (the bangs ? people loved them or hated them; does she really look like Flip Wilson's long-lost twin) than about the president's words or the power of the moment.

There is an old saying in Washington that watching legislation get through Congress is like watching sausage being made. Not pretty.

But it's not just the legislative process that has turned ugly and off-putting. It's almost everything that has anything to do with politics. It's the endless fundraising and spending and attacking; the endless noise of screaming extremism; the nastiness of virtually every aspect of our political life, intensified by the constancy of the drone.

I used to love politics. I spent much of my youth reading political novels and dreaming of the day when I would go to Washington and change the world, the day when I would know my way around the halls of Congress, see inside the White House, be a part of it. I will never forget my first summer as an intern in Washington, the thrill of all that, up close. I will never forget the first time I walked into the White House, the West Wing, when a friend was working there. I pinched myself. Susan Estrich, from Lynn, in the West Wing? Only in America.

I don't love politics anymore. As my mother would say, what's to love? It's always been a tough business, but now it's beyond tough. It's mean and ugly and nasty, and too many of those playing it seem to have forgotten that the game is not the thing.

Obama kept more of the promises he made in his first inaugural address than most presidents. He tackled the failing economy, the unpopular and expensive wars, the needs of millions of Americans for access to health care. He got things done. And I expect he will continue to do so, as he always has, by picking off the necessary handfuls of Republicans he needs in the House and Senate.

He has figured out how to work the system ? not change it.

This is not the business I fell in love with, even when my side is winning. And I have no faith, none, that one man, the one sworn in on Monday, the embodiment of hope just four short years ago, can change that.

Google's 4Q earnings rise 7 pct; stock rises

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Google's fourth-quarter earnings rose 7 percent as online advertisers spent more money in pursuit of holiday shoppers.

The financial results announced Tuesday were a mixed bag. While the company's earnings topped analyst estimates, an accounting quirk caused net revenue to fall below the projections that guide investor expectations.

Wall Street still liked what it saw. Google's stock climbed $30.78, or 4.4 percent, to $733.65 in extended trading.

The most recent quarter didn't provide an apples-to-apples comparison to the previous year because the latest results included Motorola Mobility. Google didn't own Motorola Mobility in 2011, having completed its $12.4 billion acquisition of the handset maker eight months ago.

Things were further complicated by Google's recent agreement to sell a part of the Motorola Mobility division that makes cable TV boxes. That division is now accounted for as a discontinued operation.

Google earned nearly $2.9 billion, or $8.62 cents per share during the final three months of last year. That compared to net income of $2.7 billion, or $8.22 per share, at the same time last year.

If not for the costs of employee stock compensation and certain other accounting items, Google said it would have earned. $10.65 per share. On that basis, Google exceeded the average earnings estimate of $10.54 among analysts surveyed by FactSet.

Revenue surged 36 percent from the previous year to $14.4 billion.

After subtracting advertising expenses, Google's revenue totaled $11.3 billion. That figure was well below the average analyst estimate of $12.1 billion, according to FactSet.

But many of the analyst forecasts included revenue from Motorola Mobility's set-top division, which Google didn't include in its fourth quarter revenue. Had the set-top division been included, Google's net revenue would have matched analyst estimates.
