SEO Nightmares and Hatred Bloggers...
Well, So much for my SEO dreams, I am one of the lucky few to be singled out by a hate monger in the disguise of a blogger.
I have found the dark side of blogging, that being, if you don't like what someone has to say, you smear them. You take quotes out of context and make your targets life miserable.
It all started innocent enough when I blogged about a women who happened to show up at my open house. The blog was called And I'm the Slime Ball! I made it public because the woman was so very anti-Realtor ® and told me she got her information from a woman on YouTube. I looked up the clip on YouTube and listened to woman's propaganda. The comments on my blog post were a little petty but this woman was attacking a ActiveRain member and at times we kind of stick together.
I let the woman in question comment on the blog post, not censoring her.
I researched, this woman who knew so much about Realtors ® and Banking, and the next day posted; Google me, please... because people had wanted to know more about her. She didn't like that one bit. If you read the comments, she wasn't happy. This all happened in mid to late February. I never gave her much thought after that.
My traffic was slowing on my websites and so I decided to do some simple Google searches to look at my page rank. OUCH!
My name was ranked #1 and #2 on page one under the following;

Have any experiences to share about Paul Henderson of the Washington Real Estate market. Paul S. Henderson, Realtor, RE/MAX Professionals, Lacey...
I guess I now know about;
Free speech
SEO
Posting publically
Character Assassination
I did move my 2 posts from public to members only to protect the members who had made comments. I believe I was the only target but why take chances...
Does anybody have any ideas how to eradicate this problem or should I just hang up my blogging and SEO dreams?

My Response is Below:

I have no Hate for Realtors. And I am in no way a ‘hate monger” - you sound so innocent Paul, you attacked Me hatefully, and I defend myself and Paul Henderson calls me a Hate Monger. And this seems to make sense to most of Paul Henderson’s Friends Here.
As far as SEO goes, when you attack someone who gets Internet Marketing like me, you are bound to end up in an SEO war. You should have learned more about me before you attacked. Also in this, when you step in the mud as you have, you can clean up your image, think about using a Search Engine Reputation Manager.
None of you are safe from online “attackers”, just do the right thing and you won’t have to worry about it. If what they are saying really is not true then your consumers will see through it. In my case it is true, Paul attacked me by name.
When you are attacked you need to fight back with truth and integrity. Paul was wrong to attack me and slam my video, my “learin” . Opinions are good, but slamming me the person was just wrong. So I defended myself and now he calls me a “hate monger”
Paul Says “I have found the dark side of blogging, that being, if you don't like what someone has to say, you smear them. You take quotes out of context and make your targets life miserable. It all started innocent enough when I blogged about a women who happened to show up at my open house. "
Paul Slammed Me, He did a Post attacking me, he slammed the way I looked, the way I talked and what I was wearing. And I do a Post defending myself and I am accused of Hate.
Paul took me out of “context” yet accuses me of doing so. He sees one video, and looks at one of my sites and he attacks me. I defend myself and he accuses me of smearing him. Paul makes himself sound so innocent, he attacked me, he smeared me, I happened to find out and I defended myself. He did not just blog about a women who showed up at his open house. He slammed her, he slammed me, he made sexual inuendos about her ( “.She replied "Screw You!" I declined!) He behaved badly and yet now he does yet another post to somehow defend his Not So innocent actions.
My videos are NOT propaganda, they are Truth to me from what I have Personally experienced as a Realtor and as a Broker Owner. It is my story, my video, my experience that I am sharing and it is NOT propaganda.
Paul says “ The comments on my blog post were a little petty but this woman was attacking a ActiveRain member and at times we kind of stick together.” What does this mean, does this mean now that I am a member I have to agree with them?
Does this mean that “Realtors” stick together against consumers? It is ok for Paul to be “petty” and to admit that he was “a little petty” but If I defend myself I am accused of Hatred and of Character Assassination? I cannot believe that Paul Henderson of Remax in Lacey Washington attacked me, shot hatred, judgment and foul words my way and has the nerve to accuse me of Character Assassination when that is what he did to me, and He did it First… Shocking Behavior Paul, really…
Keep Whining Paul, let your clients, buyers, sellers and consumers know what your really made of. You did not remove that POST from Public View to Protect the supposed innocent, you removed it from public view in order to protect yourself. I had done a YouTube video with all those comments on it in the beginning and you knew this, so you knew that you were not protecting anyone by removing your “petty” remarks from public view. You don’t want your potential paychecks to be jeopardized by people seeing what you said about that FSBO or how you attacked me.
You say you “let me comment“, without censoring me, gee thank, but censor away, I have lots of my own blogs to post on, I don’t need you to let my comments stay, go ahead and hide them Paul, throw a rug over the Truth.
Paul said he never gave me much thought, funny, I was number one for his name an hour after he attacked me. Hew did a post called Google me Now, And it took him a long time for his OUCH! He should be proud of his words, say what you mean, mean what you say, right Paul Henderson?
Anyone want some SEO tips, email me at Crystal@CrystalCox.com and Paul STOP yammering about me, apologize, do the right thing. Find that FSBO and apologize. Stunning what the Power of the Internet can do, and guess what FSBO’s don’t need Realtors to get on top of the search engines. You all need to get internet marketing to really sell for your real estate consumers, protect your online identity and to create your brand outside of your Franchise and Outside of the Association of Realtors. The Internet is hear to stay, it is ok for you to speak your mind, but it is also ok for those ATTACKED to defend themselves.
Don’t hang up on your dreams Paul, just buck up, admit you were wrong, give me a break, leave me alone, do the right thing by your consumers and don’t trash talk FSBO’s. I never said Realtors are Slime, she did.. But you attacked me.
I suggest you STOP Publicly (members only is still publicly) attacking Me Paul. Please STOP attacking me and then accusing me of attacking you.
Now this new Post as well as the Old Post is Going on RealtorSucks.com (this way Paul won't have to OUCH!! months after the fact) today. I have thousands of websites, I did not take over your name, I simply wanted to defend myself, I was gentle. I have a Right to defend from self. When your attacked online by name as YOU attacked me, it is best to defend yourself as I did.
Tip: If you want it to go away, and want good SEO then why are you still attacking me in a public forum. Do you know what a Stat Counter Is. Do you know I can see what is going on … and I simply must come to my own defense.
I am telling the Truth according to what I have experienced, your FSBO used the Slimeball word, not me. I had nothing to do with you specifically until you attacked me. My videos though I don’t dress or talk well enough for you folks here, they are based on what I personally have seen as a Broker Owner, they are not to attack you and especially by name. You attacked me By Name, I Defended myself.
I have made videos AGAIN for each of these posts, later today they will be at
http://www.youtube.com/realestateconfessionI am Not on a Crusade, I am Simply sharing my Experience with my Readers and my Listeners. My so called attack is all about the Association, You attacked Me. You say I should not attack people but the Association, Paul that is what I was doing when you attacked me by name personally.
Do you Not See this.rMore Response from Me Seeing How the Realtors
are still trash talking me over there at active rain.
I will post their comments on another post
maybe tommorro, he is more Response.

This attitude is exactly what your Consumers write me about everyday, I don't have perfect grammar so what, I do what I can. I speak the truth.
It is best to deal with these situations directly, getting a bunch of incoming links won't work if some really was a hate monger, which I am not. Someone targeting your name in the search engines can simply advertise in Adwords and pay to be on top if they want to.
My search is organic. If the other people commenting, most of them were not joining in the attack on my language skills and my attire and the way I say Real A Tor, then this "hatred" toward me would not have escalating. My beef is with NAR and I had not directly attacked any of you, yet some of you still found it wise to talk trash about me.
Caren Wallace telling me I am delusional, I am telling the truth. And she wants me to have therapy and an English Course, I am simply telling my experience, why the need to put me down over and over.
I may not be a grammar genious or dress or talk the way you need me to but so what, that give you the right to put me down. I would rather be a Hillbilly Broker that don't talk right, and gots me some learning to do then to be someone who puts down a total stranger the way you lovely "Realtors" are doing here.
You judged me by one video, your still blathering about the $75 dollars which I don't charge anymore, do your homework and STOP trash talking me. If I see a Yellow Bus, and I do a video about it then I do, you can't tell me what I see or don't see.
My blog is based on what I, a Real Estate Broker Owner has truly seen. You talking about how stupid I am, about me needing therapy, and all the other comments here are soooo off the point, it is not about me, it is not about you as individuals but you who choose to attack me, well I have had enough. I hope you all have plenty of time to blog 24 hours a day such as I do, because I have decided to Post all of your comments so your consumers can see how harshly you judge others who are not like you and how you gang up like a pack of wild dogs after their prey on those who you don't agree with.
Rudy McCormick is a Flat Out Liar, he tells you here that my blog is bull and then he emails me and tells me he agrees with me but honey catches more flies and that he QUIT "Realtor" as well. The truth does not sit on these pages. The consumers deserve to know the truth. Also Rudy McCormick says I use "poor tactics" what does this mean? I am obviously VERY good at what I do, whether I dress the part or not. I also looked at Rudy's blog and he has quit ReMax and is looking for a Broker Owner, he says I am full of Bull. All the while shameless plugging his Real Estate Marketing sites to get the Realtors to market with him. Good One.
He is not a Broker, not an Owner and has not seen what I have but says this about me here on this site and then emails me this:
"Hello Crystal,
I find your blog very interesting and wonder why you chose to take such a pointed stand vs. the career that you seem to be enjoying so much. As the victim of several poor realtors tactics and even slander, I can understand why someone would take a stand against specific issues. My question is this, what about the golden rule? If you advocate for the people, how can you then bash people. Or do you think Realtors are not human? The other question is regarding your peers, because that is what we are together is peers. Would you have respect for someone or a group who would like to harm you with their words?
Also would you not catch more flies with honey? Seems to me that your approach is somewhat limited in scope and you appear to be boxing yourself in. I am no longer a realtor, basically due to the practice of our local association. I am not bashing them, just not giving them any money either. I am interested in how you can be successful with such a negative stance, because where I stand you are not differentiating your self from them what so ever.
Thanks, Rudy McCormick McCormick Web Marketing Formally RE/MAX Preferred of Wisconsin, Inc."
Richard Stabile suggest and Olive Branch, yet he is the one that said consumers would not listen to me because I did not dress the part.
Melina Your Right, however at this point The Olive Branch is sinking in the Quick Sand. He did say he was petty, but the attack went on. It really was undeserving to come for me because of what a FSBO said about my video.
Bryant, thank you, you get it and sound like an honorable man.
Gail McMillian Says I am Repulsive, I don't have to dress or talk the way you need me to in order for my information to be useful to consumers. Many, Many Consumers email me daily with more stories, I am being taken VERY well by the Real Estate Consumer. I have thousands of sites visitors and make a very good living. If you folks don't show up on my Stat Counter Bashing me, then nothing I do is about you personally.
Joe Pryor says, "This fanatic is mad because you don't mirror her extreme ideas.", I don't need anyone to agree with or mirror my ideas, they are not ideas, they are TRUE experiences in the Real World of Real Estate. I do not have a grudge, I have experience sto share that will better the real estate consumers life by knowing. Those of you who have not had these experiences will not get it, that does not mean it is not true.
Terry Miller calls me an Internet Terrorist, funny, no problem with Paul Henderson talking about me first but a I am an Internet Terrorist if I defend myself. Hmmmm.
Dedra Lipscomb says I crossed a line in posting a video about what you folks said. So it is ok for you to say it, but not for me to talk about you saying it. If you trash talk me, no problem, but if I post a video saying that you did then I crossed a line. There is something wrong with that picture. By the way several more are loading to discuss what all of you have said. I have a Right to Defend myself.
Heather the Belly Dancing, Superstar Realtor calls me an Anger Monger, Heather Joubran has joined the rant on me over at active Rain. Pay attention consumers this is what goes on behind the closed doors of Your Real Estate Transaction, Drama Rama and it is NOT about you.
All this certainly re-enforces my decision to not be a "REALTOR". I will leave you folks to your Rant on Me. See you in the Search Engines.
