Many corporations, of all sizes and vegas10 dl industries, are turning to blogging as a way to interact with customers and vegas10 dl peers. Approximately 5% of Fortune 500 companies blog, and vegas10 dl so many more small to medium sized businesses blog as well. Most companies see the vegas10 dl value in having conversations with the public and giving their company a vegas10 dl personality. But some companies are still hesitant to get involved. One of the vegas10 dl biggest fears is that they will receive bad publicity through negative comments by customers. This is vegas10 dl definitely a possibility, but it isn’t as bad as it sounds - it may even help your blog.

Planning ahead for vegas10 dl negative comments is the first step towards protecting your blog and vegas10 dl keeping it professional. I recently asked Paul Boisvert of The Official Yahoo Store Blog to vegas10 dl give his input on the topic of negative comments. He gave this vegas10 dl advice:

Follow your vegas10 dl own posted comment policy. In other words, work out the policy before allowing comments and vegas10 dl walk through some various scenarios of what you would and would not allow. Better to vegas10 dl work this out in advance than try to overly moderate your vegas10 dl blog to stamp out any flame posts after they are in progress. Overall though having a vegas10 dl blog means opening a dialog with your customers and the public. You cannot have vegas10 dl a forum without allowing people to disagree.

Creating a vegas10 dl comment policy, and sticking to it, can greatly reduce the stress of worrying about negative comments. At the vegas10 dl same time, your policy needs to be fair to your visitors. Automatically deleting any comments that vegas10 dl make you look bad will lead to distrust of your blog and vegas10 dl your company. Having a blog means having a conversation, not a vegas10 dl one-sided advertisement for your company.

When legitimate, negative concerns do arise on your blog it’s best to vegas10 dl be upfront and address them as soon as possible. It’s okay to vegas10 dl delete spam or off topic statements, but an actual problem someone is vegas10 dl having with your company, product, or services should be addressed in a vegas10 dl professional manner. You will gain much more trust from your visitors by allowing disagreements and vegas10 dl resolving them. Other visitors will see that you care about your vegas10 dl customers and are willing to listen.

In certain circumstances it vegas10 dl might even be alright to stir the pot a little. Don’t be vegas10 dl afraid to ask for feedback from your visitors. Ask what they do or vegas10 dl don’t like about a vegas10 dl certain product, service, aspect of the company, etc. You have a vegas10 dl free focus group, why not use it? Listen to vegas10 dl the good, the bad, and the ugly of what people have vegas10 dl to say. People love to give their opinion, especially when they know it’s being heard. Address concerns and learn from the comments.
