Watch Yourself
Part of keeping track of your reputation online includes knowing what people are saying about you as soon as they say it.
There are several things you should set up to do this.
First get yourself some sort of RSS reader (definition below), I use Google Reader. You want this so that you can subscribe to several feeds and be able to get the information sent to you automatically.
Then you are going to want to subscribe to the following feeds:
1) Go to Google and do a search for your brand name or your own name. Then along the top bar find the "news" link and click it. On the left side you will see a link to "RSS", click on that to add it to your reader.
2) Go back to Google and do the search again. This time pull-down the link found at "more" and the down arrow and pick "blogs". Again on the left side you will see a link to "RSS", click on that to add it to your reader.
3) Go to http://search.twitter.com/ and do another search for your name or brand. Click on "Feed for this query" near the top right and add this one to your reader too.
4) Not go to http://www.technorati.com/ and do the same search. Here you click on "subscribe" above and on the right of the results to add this one to your reader.
5) Finally go to Yahoo search engine and do that same search again. Again click on the "more" and the down arrow and pick "news". You have to hunt for the link a little bit here, it is at the bottom of the right column and you will click on the orange RSS.
This will keep you in the know for the most part. There are places you can pay for this service which will be more comprehensive but this is how to do this for free.

RSS - Because there are different versions of RSS, the term RSS is most frequently used as a name to mean the syndication of Web content, rather than as an acronym for its founding technology (most commonly stands for Really Simple Syndication). A Web site that wants to allow other sites to publish some of its content creates an RSS document and registers the document with an RSS publisher. A user that can read RSS-distributed content can use the content on a different site. Syndicated content can include data such as news feeds, events listings, news stories, headlines, project updates, excerpts from discussion forums or even corporate information.

Currently we are living in the era of IT but unfortunately more than half of world population is illiterate. Out of those a few are computer and internet familiar so the target market for internet marketing is niche. Therefore the developed nations should promote it training education as well as computer literacy in these developing areas so the target market can be increased in future.
