Press releases help businesses fight back against those abusing Rip Off Report and sites like it, says Press Release Pros.

PR NewsChannel) / April 16, 2010 / Tampa, Fla. / The Web site Rip Off Report was created to help protect consumers from unethical businesses or scam companies.  But now there are a growing number of businesses who say they need protection from rogue consumers who are abusing that site and others like it to exact revenge. 

"These consumers are angry, often irrational and will not think twice about using Rip Off Report and similar sites to spew inaccurate and mean information about a business because they are angry," says Randy Scott of Press Release Pros (http://www.pressreleasepros.com).  "The information they post is usually not accurate but companies lose business because of it.  It's absolutely unfair."

Rip Off Report says it does not fact check postings.  And it will not ever remove a posting even if it is a downright lie.  Companies have sued to try to make that happen, but the courts continually rule in Rip Off Report's favor.

So what are companies to do if they are victims of malicious, untrue postings from a former employee or unhappy customer or client.

Press releases are an effective way to fight back against postings on Rip Off Report, says Scott of Press Release Pros (http://www.pressreleasepros.com). 
 
"We have developed a proven method of dealing with those abusing Rip Off Report and sites like it," says Scott.

It involves press release writing and press release distribution to push down the negative postings in the search engines--effectively burying bad news.

"This is not an easy thing to do but it can be done," says Scott. 

Having a negative listing on RipOffReport.com that shows up on the first page of Google for your company name can severely damage a business' reputation. Potential customers doing their due diligence with online research are easily scared away by negative publicity.

"Nothing is more frustrating than working hard to build a relationship with a potential client or customer only to lose the deal because of a ripoff report complaint," says a business owner in Arizona which did not want to be identified. "It's disheartening and maddening.  But I finally saw there was a way to take control of it."

That Arizona business, and others across the country, have turned to PressReleasePros.com. (http://www.pressreleasepros.com). PressReleasePros.com generated positive, informational news articles to topple the negative postings on the search engines.

"These new search engine optimized (SEO) press release articles will push down the negative information on ripoffreport.com and other consumer ripoff site posted about a business.  The negative postings will begin to appear further down the search results where they will be less visible to potential clients," says Scott. "You can beat those people causing problems and headaches for you and who are abusing a Web site that was created to help consumers not aid vindictive ex employees or irrational and unreasonable customers."
