If their kids actually grow up and contribute in a meaningful way in their job, the community, etc not only will they increase their chances of some Google love, the love will actually be of some value. <BR/><BR/>Tall order for many parents today, too busy looking for the easy way I suppose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-91886136941282432042007-05-11T09:15:00.000-05:002007-05-11T09:15:00.000-05:00I'm waiting for the day when state senator Mary An...I'm waiting for the day when state senator Mary Ann Handley (D-Ct.) leaves politics... that woman gives me a run for my Google-juice!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-33759127786515944662007-05-11T09:13:00.000-05:002007-05-11T09:13:00.000-05:00This shows, in a simple way, the power of a *disti...This shows, in a simple way, the power of a *distinctive* name. The same works for business names. Why businesses still name themselvs or their products by the words that describe what they do (and so, the words all their competitors use) is baffling but so commonplace it is virtually the norm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-60560210840122596192007-05-11T00:13:00.000-05:002007-05-11T00:13:00.000-05:00Mack,A ranking well earned!

When I was considering a job change last year, I did a Google search with my name and was pleasantly surprised to see all of the pr work that ended up in print that came back. A nice portfolio of work that I didn't have to build out and track down. <BR/><BR/>I'm happy to say that now, like you, my blogging and other online activity of commenting and participating in online conversations is what leads the way . <BR/><BR/>You never know when that Google search can be used by others so take the opportunity to seize the content and be your own writer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18093420919749065423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-4310788372148132472007-05-10T13:31:00.000-05:002007-05-10T13:31:00.000-05:00And so the job of naming one's child gets even mor...And so the job of naming one's child gets even more difficult...<BR/><BR/>Here's a quick trick for those out there who want to set themselves apart in search results, et al: Use your middle initial or even full middle name when blogging, etc.<BR/><BR/>(hat tip to David Meerman Scott)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-28382949991553104302007-05-10T11:20:00.000-05:002007-05-10T11:20:00.000-05:0047,000 - that's it?
