New York (PRWEB) October 17, 2016 -- Michael Podolsky, co-founder of U.S. consumer advocacy and customer complaints website, http://www.PissedConsumer.com, will speak at the UnGagged UnConvention in Las Vegas on November 15th. Podolsky's presentation will cover the freedom of consumer speech and what it means for companies from a branding, marketing, and legal perspective.

The presentation will cover consumer reviews on websites such as PissedConsumer.com and how SEO and marketing firms can address that often-negative content on behalf of their clients. Topics to be discussed include:

  • Illegal SEO tactics and approaches to having negative content de-indexed from search engines, and how those tactics can backfire on companies due to the "Streisand Effect" -- when an attempt to suppress information, such as negative reviews, from the public leads to a backlash and even wider exposure of that information;
  • Ways user-generated content can be protected from "scraping" by third parties -- when that content is automatically harvested and re-published on other web properties;
  • How public consumer speech can affect the brand reputation of clients.

"The internet today isn't heavily regulated," said Michael Podolsky of PissedConsumer.com. "In the SEO and web publishing communities, the 'rules' of reputation management for clients aren't written anywhere. But there are unwritten rules SEO professionals tend to follow. Our presentation will address things such as bending and breaking these unwritten rules and the potential consequences of doing so."

UnGagged is "the world's first SEO and digital marketing UnConvention." UnGagged Las Vegas will take place at the Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel from November 13-16. For more information about UnGagged Las Vegas and scheduled speakers, visit http://www.ungagged.com/vegas/.
