  • Removing or Suppressing Channel Nine Media Articles – Including A Current Affair, Nine.com.au, and Syndicated News

    When your name appears on Nine.com.au, in an A Current Affair segment, or on any of Nine’s digital platforms (SMH, The Age, Brisbane Times, WA Today, 9Honey), it can immediately become your top Google result — and stay there indefinitely. These stories are built for reach, SEO, and syndication. The impact is fast and brutal.

    At Reputation Ace, we deal with this exact scenario regularly. Whether it’s a segment that aired on TV and is now online, or a negative write-up hosted on Nine’s websites, we can remove, suppress, or de-index the content and replace it with stronger, brand-controlled content that restores your digital name.


    Why Nine Articles and Videos Are So Damaging

    Nine Publishing and Channel 9 content ranks highly because:

    • Their sites have massive domain authority
    • The articles include your full name in the headline, URL, and metadata
    • They often embed videos, which also appear in Google and YouTube results
    • Stories get syndicated across platforms, including Yahoo, MSN, and social media
    • They stay online for years, even after a case is resolved or withdrawn

    If you’ve been featured in an episode of A Current Affair, even a 2-minute TV clip can result in a permanent Google footprint unless removed or buried.


    The Reputation Ace Strategy for Nine Media

    🔴 Step 1: Direct Removal Request to Nine

    We submit a formal, legally grounded request to Nine’s editorial and legal teams, using:

    • Privacy arguments
    • Spent conviction protection
    • Outdated content with excessive harm
    • Mental health, safety, or employment impact
    • No public interest / resolved matter

    Depending on the case, we push for:

    • Full takedown
    • Content edits
    • Name redaction
    • Removal of embedded metadata (for SEO impact)

    If they refuse, we escalate.

    🟡 Step 2: Google De-indexing

    Even if the article or video remains live, we apply to Google to remove the link from search results, especially from:

    • Google Web
    • Google News
    • Google Video and YouTube
    • Image search, if photos are involved

    Google will act if the content is:

    • Outdated or irrelevant
    • Causing ongoing harm
    • No longer newsworthy
    • Tied to resolved legal matters or spent convictions

    We handle all filings, responses, and appeals.

    🟢 Step 3: Suppress and Replace

    The fastest and most effective way to take back control is to bury the Nine article/video under stronger, optimised, and branded content.

    Here’s what we build:

    • Google-ranking bios, PR articles, and profiles
    • Blog-style content on authority domains
    • Social media signals, YouTube videos, and personal content
    • Neutral microsites and local listings
    • A custom internal linking structure that boosts authority

    Google prioritises the most relevant and trustworthy content — and we stack the deck in your favour until the Nine result drops.


    What to Expect and Cost

    We act immediately and keep pushing until it’s clean.
    Most cases show early changes within 5–7 days, with major suppression or de-indexing results within 3–4 months.

    Cost: $995 AUD/month, month-to-month. No setup fee. No lock-in. Just results.


    Let’s Get It Off Google

    To begin, send us:

    • Your full name
    • A link to the Nine article or ACA video
    • Any legal or privacy details you want us to include in the takedown

    We’ll review and get back to you with a tailored plan.

  • Caught in a Smear Campaign? Here’s How to Shut It Down and Reclaim Your Reputation in Australia


    Sometimes it’s not just one post. It’s not just one review or a single nasty comment. It’s a pattern. A coordinated, targeted, relentless effort to make you look bad — online, in public, everywhere.

    That’s not a bad review. That’s a smear campaign. And if you’re in one right now, you know exactly what it feels like. It’s like drowning in whispers. One minute you’re doing your job, living your life — the next, people are treating you differently. Clients stop calling. Friends pull away. People who’ve never met you are judging you based on something they read.

    And worst of all? You didn’t start it. You didn’t deserve it.

    But you can stop it.

    At Reputation Station, we help Australians who are being targeted online — whether by ex-employees, bitter exes, jealous competitors, or just flat-out trolls — and we build a digital wall so strong they can’t break through again.


    What does a smear campaign look like?

    It starts small. A sudden burst of bad reviews. A post on a local forum. A thread on Reddit accusing you of things you didn’t do. Maybe someone digs up an old photo, spins a false narrative, and it takes off. Suddenly it’s not one thing — it’s everywhere.

    Google picks it up.
    Your business listing is hit.
    People are sharing links.
    Your inbox gets quiet, but your stomach doesn’t.

    You’re left asking:
    How do I defend myself without making it worse?

    That’s where we come in. Not with loud denial. Not with drama. But with a quiet, strategic counterstrike that makes the lies disappear — or at least makes sure they’re never found again.


    How we shut it down

    No bullet points here — just real talk.

    First, we find out where it started. Sometimes it’s obvious. Sometimes it takes digging. We look at dates, patterns, language, IP data when available. Our tech team is trained to trace campaigns across platforms — even if they’re anonymous.

    Then we isolate the content that’s doing the most damage. If it’s defamatory, privacy-invading, or in breach of platform rules, we go straight to takedown mode. We hit Google. Facebook. Reddit. Hosting platforms. We build legal angles. We use real case law. We know which levers to pull.

    But not everything can be removed — and that’s why suppression is so important.

    We don’t just delete. We drown out the noise. We publish search-optimised content — articles, bios, press pieces, features — all pushing your real story, all ranked to bury the bad stuff so deep it becomes invisible.

    Smear campaigns survive in silence. So we shine light where it matters most: page one of Google.


    Real people. Real reputations. Real damage — reversed.

    We’ve helped a Sydney restaurant owner who was targeted by fake vegan activist reviews. A Melbourne consultant accused of lies by a bitter former business partner. A Gold Coast woman trolled across forums after breaking off an engagement. In every case, we saw the same fear in their voices at first.

    But we didn’t just fix what showed up online.
    We gave them back control.

    That’s what this is about.


    Don’t let the internet become your judge, jury, and executioner

    If you’re in the middle of a smear campaign, don’t just wait it out. It won’t stop. These things only grow when left unchecked. And the longer the bad content sits on page one, the more people will believe it.

    Let us help.

    Quietly. Legally. Fully under the radar.
