Due to work I am all over the google. And I am not sure there is another dude with my name.

All me if you discount the ones that picked up last name first name from 2 different people and combined into my name.
 
I used to be very easily google-able (and Alta-vista-able, for that matter), but in the past 5 years, someone with my name started playing college football, so now most of the results are for him. It's a very uncommon first name-last name combination; as far as I know (or as far as the Internet knows, anyway) there's about 4 or 5 of us total: myself, college football player, a car wash owner, and someone's new baby are the ones I remember.

As of today, I am #4 on Google, and the other top 10 are all college football player.
 
yes, but only with my contact info at the law firm. otherwise, I haven't done anything to warrant google existence.
 
Considering my grandfather had the exact same name as me, and had another grandchild from a different marriage who also has the exact same name, it's a bit surprising that I'm the top hit on Google for my name. Most of the others are for the other grandchild, who apparently is a real estate agent. Who knew?
 
Top hit for my name. Took me eight years to SEO my way past the guy who killed his wife and kids with the same name as me 🙁
 
If I select "Pages from Canada" I have numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 on the first page :Q. Mostly running results from high school and university.

Really? Which clubs do you/did you run for? I was a Kajaks member a few years back.
 
Nope. The only way you can get to me through google as far as I can tell is to click on the facebook link for my name, which brings up the wrong person, then click to search for everyone else with that name on facebook. And my profile is set to private, so it's pretty much a dead end anyway. I've done a good job of separating my internet alias from my real person. I was expecting to see some together.
 
i put no, but i forgot that my alumni info from hs and college are listed. im also listed as an integrator with one of the companies i install software for. other than professional and school links, there is no info on me at all.

Not a club member, though I do volunteer as a leader at the In Training clinics every year. The results are just from the different 10K and half-marathon races I've run.

My full name has no hits. My first MI last shows me on a list of college grads in the local newspaper. My first last shows classmates and facebook as the first hits, but nothing else.
