Reputation as Capital
Joachim Klewes and Robert Wreschniok focus more on corporate
aspects. According to the authors reputation can be managed,
accumulated and traded in for trust, legitimisation of a position of
power and social recognition, a premium price for goods and services
offered, a stronger willingness among shareholders to hold on to shares
in times of crisis, or a stronger readiness to invest in the company’s
stock. Therefore, reputation is one of the most valuable "Capital" of a
company.
“Delivering functional and social expectations of the public on
the one hand and manage to build a unique identity on the other hand
creates trust and this trust builds the informal framework of a
company. This framework provides „return in cooperation“ and produces
Reputation Capital. A positive reputation will secure a company or
organisation long-term competitive advantages. The higher the
Reputation Capital, the less the costs for supervising and exercising
control.”
Language Ambiguity
To assist with properly ranking matching documents, many search
engines collect additional information about each word, such as its
language or lexical category (part of speech). These techniques are
language-dependent, as the syntax varies among languages. Documents do
not always clearly identify the language of the document or represent
it accurately. In tokenizing the document, some search engines attempt
to automatically identify the language of the document.
Reputation Repair Contact :Relationship with search engines
By 1997 search engines recognized that webmasters were making
efforts to rank well in their search engines, and that some webmasters
were even manipulating their rankings in search results by stuffing
pages with excessive or irrelevant keywords. Early search engines, such
as Infoseek, adjusted their algorithms in an effort to prevent
webmasters from manipulating rankings.
Due to the high marketing value of targeted search results, there
is potential for an adversarial relationship between search engines and
SEOs. In 2005, an annual conference, AIRWeb, Adversarial Information
Retrieval on the Web, was created to discuss and minimize the damaging
effects of aggressive web content providers.

SEO companies that employ overly aggressive techniques can get their
client websites banned from the search results. In 2005, the Wall
Street Journal reported on a company, Traffic Power, which allegedly
used high-risk techniques and failed to disclose those risks to its
clients. Wired magazine reported that the same company sued blogger and
SEO Aaron Wall for writing about the ban. Google's Matt Cutts later
confirmed that Google did in fact ban Traffic Power and some of its
clients.
