It's pretty crazy thinking about all the things that have developed as a result of Google's influence. Perhaps one of the least looked upon side of this influence is its ability to be a reputation wrecker.

With one story gone horribly wrong, searching your name, you might find things friends, family, and even future employees might cringe at. To this end, here is a list that I found of ten things that can be done to get that negative result off of the first search page.

1. Get your own web site
2. Start a blog
3. Add a sub-domain
4. Create a social networking profile
5. Create your own social network
6. Create a business profile
7. Share your photos
8. Claim your identity
9. Create your own Wiki
10. Get a free page from Google

Additionally, this site, Ziki.com, is pretty helpful in finding out what content is available on the web with your name on it. Just type in your name and/or variations of your name and it will draw up results with your name on it.
