Hello, this is my first thread post here so I hope everything about my post (permitted topic, proper forum, etc.) is in order.
When googling my name (I'm a freelancer and business owner with a personal site (the domain is my name), a lot of websites are ranking high on the first page that I think look unsavory; some of which include my personal information.
It's obvious that I can't get rid of many of these web pages; but I figure that I might be able to damage their rankings via negative SEO to get them off the first page. I doubt most of the people who google me (prospective and current clients) are interested enough to click to the second page of google results.
I thought about purchasing a bunch of spammy links to these pages to try and damage their rank, or to build more profiles on popular social sites that feature my name; but other than those I'm at a loss for ideas. As I'm sure any BHW veteran can tell; I am very new to the world of internet marketing and SEO.
If anyone has service recommendations, experience in this field, suggestions, ideas, or whatever, please let me know.
Thanks
