    It's kind of scary that my blog ranks #1 for my name...I hope my boyfriends mom doesn't Google me :rolleyes:.

    I used to never rank for my name since "Hogan" is a huge designer handbag company and they always have a "Summer" line.

    I am in the lucky position to share a name with the Boss of the BBC so I tend to get relegated to the 537 page in google:D

    I rank 46th on Google for Stephen Weir and it's only a directory page that comes up. After this thread I'll probably be first lol.

    A search for my name in google show it to be in position #1 through #10 though only 5 are for me, the others being for another branch of my family in Norway.

    Sheesh... There are 6500 entries for me, and I'm pretty sure 95% of them are from/about me. There's some old ones in there, too, going back to 1992.

    When typing in "Chris Pokorny" on Google, I'm No. 3. On Yahoo, my name is at the No. 3 and No. 4 spots. I always wonder if anyone I know would type my name alone, and then find my site :cool:

    Yeah I don't rank for my name at all... but then again I don't use my real name online much, if ever now that I think about it.

    My first and last name ranks #1 in the listings, because my personal site is my first and last name.

    When you search my name you get the prime minister of Ireland (I think). That should be a hint about what my last name is.

    If I search for my name, I get 72,100 results. My name in quotes yields 6,890. An article I wrote ranks #1 for the search with and without quotes. My articles dominate top 15 in either search LOL

    Go figure, I didn't get an invite to my high school reunion. Guess no one bothered to google me :(
