For instance celebrity gossip websites get tons of views daily (in the thousands), simply because they dig up dirt on famous people and post it online – something which everyone seems to love reading. The best way to counter this, IMO, is through social mediums like Facebook and especially Twitter. If you find something that you want gone from the SERP or something that might be untrue, send out an update on your Twitter account. It may potentially backfire by giving more unnecessary exposure to the link offensive to you, but at least it allows you to communicate your side of the story and get the truth out there.
