SEOing Yourself: Get Your 15 Rankings in the Google Spotlight
8:37 pm in Other Search Stuff by Will Fleiss
A cool way to get an idea of what kind of sites the search engines like to crawl is to see where your name comes up in the search results. Create some profiles on a few social sites, comment on some blogs, and submit some original articles to free article submission services. Then do a Google search on your name and watch what comes up. The difficulty level of getting yourself on the first page certainly depends very much on how common your name is. Be sure to search on your name and “your name”. I myself, Will Fleiss, am currently competing with my distant cousin Heidi Fleiss and Mike Fleiss, creator of the reality tv show The Will. Admittedly, I am lucky enough to have a rather uncommon name, however if you test a few things out I think you will find that its not that hard to get your 15 minutes (or rankings) in the Google Search spotlight.
