What a nightmare it would be to handle ORM for someone like Vick. I have to agree with @Rhea that any celeb who receives more coverage (i.e. not famous because of one disastrous event) has a better chance of surviving in the SERP's. Vicks, Spitzer, Maddoff were all relatively unknown before their major news stories. Great post! What a nightmare it would be to handle ORM for someone like Vick.

Insights does backup that though thought process pretty well and I bet if I whipped out the monitoring tool it would further legitimize it. I still cant get over that flick off shot by Vick in the SERPS. See yah in a month :-) @ryan Thanks!

I don't think any of the above guys were internationally recognized names. I would wager that Kanye West and Michael Phelps were known around the world before their drama and as a result have a ton of international backlinks and far more social mentions. Yup (limited to six searches, but Google Insights had a nice breakdown): http://kl.am/googleinsight Just had another thought.

You have to consider that he's someone with a ton of online properties and being an outspoken entertainer, he gets a lot of coverage (i.e. links) to those properties. Sports players and politicians are far less likely to have the same level of sophistication online, which means they can't survive a disaster as well as Kanye did. Also, the Kanye conversation happened mostly on Twitter. Sure there was a ton of mainstream coverage, but it died down. With those other guys, there were court cases and press conferences meriting continual mainstream news coverage and internal linking within those sites to related stories. That builds an authoritative disaster area! Really nice breakdown! Can't wait to see ya again at Pubcon. That’s funny, I noticed how good Kanye’s rep was the other day, too.

I had a client that had this same problem. With much work, time, and a solid strategy, things cleared up by about 95%. Excellent advice. I had a client that had this same problem.
