I completely concur with your statement about managing client’s expectations and our own promises. This has caused me problems in the past because certain jobs have not been sold well. I started spending alot more time educating my clients on our service before the actual sale.

It seems to me that that “identity management” matters most if you’re marketing to the IM niche.
Otherwise, I don’t see anonymity as a detriment.

Frankly, I’m not in the IM niche, do not market as an “expert” and prefer to stay pretty much under the radar.

The first thing we learned as a company is to be careful what we posted in forums under our company name. We could be involved with a geeky conversation and perhaps coming off as very unprofessional at times. So for forums, memberships and anything that requires an account, we take a little longer in choosing an account login. But for the most part, we just keep a close eye on Google. Here’s a good little article here:

At this point I do have some Google alerts set up, plus I do search on Technorati occasionally to see what comes up. I’m below most people’s radar at the moment, so it’s not something I worry about much… although I do occasionally flinch if I Tweet something particularly stupid…

Besides, as I once said on Twitter:

“There is only one thing worse than not being talked about and that is not being Twittered about. – apologies to O. Wilde”

Charlane, thanks for stopping by.

Robin, good idea – take control of your identity even if, as you say, you aren’t going to be using it.

[...] So you’re not an internet marketer? Think again. :: Colin Walker – a well written post that makes most bloggers reconsider whether they are in fact marketers or not. Fact is if you consider your blog and your activities on the net as part of building a brand then you most definitely are marketing. [...]

Worrying when the first Google result for a search of my name is a bebo profile picturing some guy drinking beer (…who isn’t me). That can easily have a negative impact as a first impression, for all that other Google appearances are more positive.

Another useful piece of advice I heard recently was to register your name, even if your online presence is largely as a brand. So register your name as a URL, create a Twitter account, etc. Even if you’re not going to use them, better to have them in your possession so that they can’t be used in the future in ways that can harm your reputation.

I do searches with my name and see what comes up. A few times I have caught a few websites with incorrect information… the sites that sell your information to search consultants/recruiters. I contacted each site and both times and both were happy to to remove my information. I agree that we cannot control the information but we should try to cultivate a positive internet.

Thanks for your blog. I enjoy reading it.

Cheers,
