Luckily for me, jimmythomas.com is a personal trainer and a model.

He also lives in Tampa, where I spent 20 years growing up... lol

I agree... credit card forms and "verisign" logos are a cue to close that tab.

It seems that the "successfulness" of ReputationDefender will hinge on one key characteristic of human nature - are the majority of individuals (1) proactive or (2) reactive?

In short, a subscription model of revenues is only as solid as an individual's willingness to be "Proactive" in protecting thier reputation.

Unfortunately, its my assumption that the majority of individuals are "Reactive" (especially outside the realm of "tech-geekdom.") In other words, they will only want this service at the time of applying for a job, or more likely, after they have been rejected due to compromising material found on the internet. (In essence, it seems that ReputationDefender would find more success with a business / revenue model that caters to the "Reactive" nature of an individual.)

(Also, great idea about "plagiarized content.")

Due to issues with my insurance I recently have had to switch from Ambien CR to regular Ambien. Although the medication is very helpful to me in falling asleep I have found that I wake up throughout the night (1-3 times). A problem that I did not experience when taking the Ambien CR. Nonetheless, Ambien has significantly helped me cope with my insomnia.

ReputationDefender just spams the Internet with client info. You give them your resume, ReputationDefender translates it into a paragraph or two and then posts it all over at LinkedIn and ClaimID and such. Not a scam, but a somewhat shady operation. Anyone with a free afternoon could do the work themselves and save paying ReputationDefender anything.

ReputationDefender's sales guy, Brent Franson, is a self-professed search marketing guru, but if this is the best he can come up with he is grossly overcompensated. Everyone on the Management page for ReputationDefender has little to no experience in the SEO/SERM world before they started this outfit. Dead by summer, I guarantee.
