\"LinkedIN<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting this week, LinkedIn is offering its more than 80 million members a chance to recommend products and services on other companies’ Company Pages, under the Product tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new feature includes only 40 large companies like Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Dell, JetBlue, AT&T, Citibank and Volkswagen. But LinkedIn will expand it to include all companies and small businesses during the next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is huge, and every Publicity Hound should be paying attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each time a LinkedIn member endorses your product or services, their recommendation becomes visible to all of their connections<\/strong> and could spread virally. When you promote and curate these recommendations, you have some of the most credible, authentic endorsements of your products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From what I can see, unfortunately, this doesn’t allow users to actually write anything like when they make a personal recommenation on LinkedIn.  All they can do is simply recommend it. When they do, their photo shows up next to a checkmark and the pharase “I recommend this product,” and a link back to their own LinkedIn profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online reviews are becoming increasingly important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How should you respond to a bad review on other websites?  What steps can you take to decrease the chances of a bad reviewing appearing at sites like Yelp?  And what can you do to make it easier for your own customers to post glowing reviews about your great products and services? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Antion tackled this topic during his teleseminar on “Reputation Management: How to Build and Protect a Great Reputation Online<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His strategy is simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a huge and positive profile for yourself at high-traffic, authoritative sites so that when someone posts something negative about you, the good information comes up higher in the organic search listings. And act quickly to respond to negative reviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t manage your own reputation, somebody else will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
