When you google the term "Brian Pierce", you get absolutely no information about me for at least the first 15 pages of search results (believe me, I just spent a half hour checking). I'm not even sure if I ever show up in those results at all!

Thing is, those 15 pages of search results I went through weren't even people *trying* to have a web presence. They were all casual mentions of the name "Brian Pierce" (and NOT ME) in stuff like public records, sports scores and personell directories of companies.

This makes me sad :(

How do I change this? How do i get a web presence? How do I make it so that when someone Googles me the "I'm Feeling Lucky" result becomes ME???

Get a web site. Make online friends. Get them to link to you.

(Livejournal doesn't count.)

See and I was thinking a dramatic or unique crime spree, like you could be the bank robber who always demanded 1 roll of the current state quarter. That'd get you googleable.

But then, you know, you're in jail and can't enjoy the fruits of your labour. Or fame. Well, unless you count all those women that like to write mail and send their underwear to convicts.

WONDERFUL! Thank you! Now to go and pimp my site to all the on-line forums! Get some snazzy pop-up advertising, animated .gif files and blinking text to REALLY draw them all in, and HEY! I'll be famous!

Thank you!

I have another suggestion! Brian, you must change your name to something unique. In all the Google results for "Chris Launey," there is but one that does not refer to me. Ditto for Christopher Launey. I think there are maybe one or two other people with my name in the country. In fact, there may be a hundred people with my last name in the country. Maybe. Probably more like 75.

Hrm. Actually, I think my family is endangered.

We could put you on a preserve. People could protest for better living conditions for you!

When I google my name the first thing that comes up is the King County court docket. How comforting is that? I did a serious double take. Had someone stolen my identity and run up a series of crimes? What if dear old Comcast randomly re-screens their employees? Comcast does not employ felons. I got that nice cold feeling in my gut before I realized that there is an attorney whoes name is spelled just like mine. Which is kinda odd, because my first name is spelled sorta unique here in the old USofA.
