Run down the basics
Reputation management services. Don’t know that they’re worth it.
Keep pumping out good content.
Google alerts.
Password vaults. Don’t use the same password for multiple accounts.
PSI—Personal Software Inspector
You may want to use a Password Safe or Vault. Two good ones are Password Gorilla and LastPass, a browser plug in. The vault generates long complex passwords and stores them. You protect your password safe or vault with a long passphrase. When you visit a website, LastPass will supply the password you need to log in.
Search for your name. Set up a Google Alert in Google Dashboard to let you know every day how your name is appearing online. You can set up a search for anything. So if there’s something you want to track online, set up the alert.
