Last week I was talking with a few guys on my uni course, nice guys, (check out Jamies music project Seams) and up came the topic of googling yourself. It's a pretty vain thing to do, but when you're running a business, or a band, or anything that people might be looking for, it's good to be on Google! Jamie is the 3rd one down when you type in 'seams'.
My band, A City Within are 2nd down with their name, just below the BBC, so that's good new there.
But when I type in my name, it takes a little while! Ben Duff finds me part way down the second page, with my defunct bebo account. My facebook/myspace/tumblr/blog are no-where to be seen in the first 5 pages, although the bands facebook page makes an appearance.
I guess this is due to my nickname Terra, and my online username terrorvision101, so lets try those.
Terra duff is a great sucess! The top 5 sites all link to my profiles, with two sub-domains which both are related to me. It wanders into Hillary Duff a little further down. The same goes for Terrorvision101, monopolising the first page.
So, I guess if you really want to get on google, chose a stupid name!
Have fun with it ;)
