SPONSOR POST: What Does A Google Search Say About You?
| Share |
Go ahead and search for your name or business in Google. You may be surprised at what comes up. Chances are, you don’t have anything really bad showing… but what kind of impression would someone Googling your name have of you? Would they tend to think better or worse of you?
Whether you like it or not, people are using Google all the time to find information about you. If you feel that you have some less-than-desirable results showing up in Google for your name, or you want some positive articles about yourself to show up, then RepSpinner.com can help you out in a big way.
RepSpinner works a little different than the average “reputation management” firm. Being far more efficient allows them to avoid the outrageous fees many charge, and be very easily affordable for the average person and small business owner. RepSpinner only hires people with several years of independent SEO experience, so when they take on your project you have the peace of mind knowing that it will be done properly.

I mainly find a surprising amount of my articles all over the place (some of them stating “expert author” or something along those lines) and my twitter accounts.
Not too shabby, I’d say.
Cheers,
Shane
I like the title of your post
anyway, i dont require SEO service for my sites but will surely refer them.
Few days ago ago I was searching for Personal Branding and I stumbled upon similar of services. Looks like some people really need these service.
You will need these services if you name is very common. If not you may not need it at all.
I like this post. I have some good SEO work going on with my sites, but I have to admit, I have neglected my name. I have a famous actor, a famous painter, and a famous photographer all with the same name. I have basically just left it alone. But now I think that I might just outrank them yet, without tons of SEO work for a keyword that won’t have much ROI.
Thanks for sharing this information and I didn’t know about it and we never thought about this thing before.
People do really search our name, which is great so we understand how good we are in helping people and how are people talking about us.
It is a great information..
Thanks

Great post and thanks for bringing this up. It is all about reputation and what information people can get about anyone from Google.
Thanks for sharing the RepSpinner site. I will definitely check it out and also spread your blog links to others.

Not a whole lot going on for me in the Google world although I admit that this kind of service could definitely come in handy. I guess it ultimately depends on how strong of an emphasis you are putting on branding.
Google better luv me man, with all the time and attention I give them,,lol
good article – i found my site and twitter pages before anything else
Hey Jason, I have read quite a lot lately about the crew over at repspinner, they seem to be building a good reputation for themselves.
On a related note, here is a post I wrote a while back with a useful tip on how to take control of what people find when they search for you online..
Take control of what people see when they find you online
I know, shameless self plug here but it is related.. if you want to unlink the comment or keep it for future reference I completely understand

This is some really good information. I just checked Google for my personal name and there are a ton of guys sharing the same name. Food for thought.
Jason…
Excellent idea to write about this.
I can relate to it as in fact, a couple years back, when I started my IM adventure… I never thought of that – at least for a while, but in the end…
I found out that the first 2 pages of SERPs were full of the name ‘Steve Lorenzo’ – how nice, you would think, maybe?
Not exactly!
It happens that I shared my name with a well known serial killer whose name was plastered all around the Internet due to the high media exposure it get when he was caught and trialed.
The next few months, I had to put all my efforts into building lots of SN profiles, write articles, make videos, bookmark them all and hope to outrank the guy, he, he… (fingers crossed: hope he stays put)
Now, that is in fact, what brought me to the SEO world of FUN! I enjoy it so much now, when I can prodly search for my name on Google (of course it is not ONLY that!)
For the benefit of others who may have the same problems, I even wrote an ebook and shot some videos on how to employ Social Media and networks to achieve such a goal.
One of them – focused on LinkedIn – is free to watch for the readers of your blog right here:

Enjoy!

Hey, I just ran through my name and really found good things only like my twitter profiles, linkedin profile, ezine profiles.
found the meaning of my middle name when searching LINNEA which I already knew. http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Linnea
Don’t come up with me to much when using debbie sargent…most are younger girls swimming the internet. Face book is full , as well as MySpace.
Have come up with more results with the DLSargent and full page(s) with the SWEDISGNOM handle, which I seem to get the best results.
Thanks for this link, have always used google to track or find others, use this trick with FB , MySpace, Twitter, etc.

Yes, I’ve googled my name in the past and was very pleased to see 4 full pages of my sites, ads, and articles. Very cool thing, I must say!
I think Eric Schmidt from google is right when he says that if you use the internet you have to be clear about the fact that the information is not private. Any information that you send over a network can end up being hacked. I used to be very careful with many social websites, however, I am becoming more and more open with my (non-private) information. If somebody searches for my name, they’ll find publications, my blog, they’ll know my age, some of my opinions on politics, my passport number (from a government publication of scholarships), and several countries where I’ve been living. I think it could be worse.
i think at least once everyone has googled their own name…:)) . intersting concept the RepSpinner
Very interesting regarding RepSpinner. It really gives me to know more regarding this. I’ll “google” it to know more regarding RepSpinner.
Thanks for this information. I’ll consider this and think about it.
I’ve searched mine and many other people’s.
Mine brings up my social network sites and my forum username profile’s.
If I search my girlfriends sister and go on images – my twitter profile image appears, odd!
When I search my name I get a Vicar, a racing car driver, a footballer, a poet, and a boxer. None of them are me! What you get depends on how common your name is. And it seems that mine is quite common.
