    How do you rate?

    Today at lunch, a few of us were chatting about how easy it is to find information about people online, and out of the discussion came a bet. We all put up 10 bucks, and then used a wireless connection from the restaurant to see who ranked the best on Google.

    Out of the 7 people, I won hands down by being the number one result, and was also 7 of the 10 listings on the first page. The next best a person did was to be listed 4th and have 3 listings in the top 10.

    Granted, if you have a common name, you probably won't do well...

    How do you rate if you put your name into Google

      Not at all. There's a few famous doctors with my name so they dominate. And I try to do things to keep my name off.
      It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

        It depends. If I put my complete name, Spanish way (name plus our two surnames) I am the first one in google. In fact, I am the only one in Google... But it is very likely that there is no other person in the world with my name. I have a relatively common Spanish surname as first surname, and a relatively common German surname as second surname, but the combination appears to be unique.

          I found out I'd written legislation that has been enacted in South Carolina. (Actually, it was written by a state assemblyman with my name.)

            I'm pretty high, but what devastates me is that the first image to be found is of a guy that is not me and it's a really terrible picture

              I'm number one and 8 of the top 10 hits, but I have a pretty uncommon name.

                LOL, i'm #2 on the list, but only because of some random post I made on a listserv in 1998. My poly listing is 8th ... there are several people with my name, including some folks in North Carolina who run a series of gaming stores (but no legislation), and a musician that i've never heard of.
