It happens every where. People write bad reviews just to decrease the reputations of others.
Only solution. Get more good reviews.
write bad reviews without a proof is nothing too…so if we want to condemn someone make sure we have enough proof
Often your loyal readers will also back you up if a commenter is deliberately trying to ruin your Reputation without reason. It just makes them look bad.
yeah..if we condemn someone that has big Reputation it make us like a stupid guy because we fool ourselves..it happened to one of my friend..there was an anonymous who said something stupid to her and of course all her blog readers condemn the anonymous back..
If you find someone who ruin your Reputation, then find someone who could stop him.
And how exactly you can find someone to stop whoever ruining your online Reputation?
Building a good Reputation is quite importent. If people trust you and know who you are, you are more likely to turn them into loyal readers and maybe buyers.
It takes time to build Reputation but it’s not impossible though…
I disagree with a word of “quite”, Reputation is “important”
Yes, it’s more easy to convert people who already trust us to become our buyer.
I think it’s always important, however the degree to how important it is often depends on what your website is about or what it is selling.
The Reputation is only imp when u want to sell thing in other way it is imp but to less extend…
Yes, with Reputation comes trust, and with trust comes loyalty. If there is little trust, why should we buy goods from that site?
I never get bad feedback so far..Everyone in blogspheres is very supportive..Hope we can make good buddies…Happy blogging too!
You are right. I also experienced this some negative comments from others, but I Do an immediate follow up to correct if I am wrong… Thank you for the reminders.
Reoutation may be build by doing some best work in your field. The perfect example of Reputation is Amit Agrawal of labnol, he doesn’t promote himself too much but a person known by his pergect work.
Negative comments should be taken as criticism and motivation to improve your work.
Your path is quite right. Negative reviews Do help to improve.
Always bow our head even we’re on high popularity is also ways to build more strong Reputation. People become love us
“bow our head even we’re on high popularity” I like the phrase..It remind me to east culture..
Absolutely. In most cases ‘negative’ comments aren’t intended to be downgrading, rather the contrary. Don’t just make a knee-jerk reaction and slag them off. Think about what they have said and why they have said it first.
First you need to get a Reputation. Try to maintain it first. Then try to lessen your mistakes.
Improving reputation will need you to be more helpful to your readers.

How Do I know my online “Reputation“? Is there a group the gives me a score such as alexa ranking?
You can measure your Reputation based on the review others made on alexa sites regarding your blog…
Alexa reviews is not the way to Judge Reputation…there are so many website/blog which Do not have review on alexa that does not make there website/blog bad…
Yes I think Alexa reviews isn’t enough to judge Reputation. Maybe Alexa ranking itself is enough.
oh i see. thanks for that information. Is it also called “alexa ranking”?
Alexa ranking is just information on website traffic. There is a section within that data about site reviews that people can write about that particular site. They can often be misleading, as often they are done by friends of the owners.
Ya i was telling this only it is not a way to judge the Reputation…
Alexa is very helpful to check the sites popularity and advertisers check these too.
