What do you get when you google your name?

Do you find anything relating to you specifically? Or is your name too general?

I have a pretty unique last name, so I found two results featuring me.
1. A guy I kinda knew in HS used a quote of mine as sig in a forum post. (I was perplexed at first, as I didn't know who he was. After I looked at his Info, I remembered knowing this guy in HS)
2. A project related page from my university, from 2 years ago (now offline, but still in the cache)


I also searched my mom's name (also unique) and found her graduate thesis.
 
Nope, just a bunch of results of a certain actor that has a similar name that I despise, because whenever I say my name to people they say his name back, as if they made a funny that I've never heard before. :roll:
 
616,000 results found. Didn't see anything about me till the 6th page of google results. I guess I have a pretty common asian last name
 
I find a bunch of stuff about some guy with my name who died on 9/11, nothing else.

I have the same last name... and I'm #1 on MSN Beta and #2 on Yahoo! 🙂

But Google refuses to crawl my site for some reason so I'm not even listed anywhere remotely close to the first few pages there 🙁 (anyone know why?)

At least its not Michael Bolton... 😉
 
my first and last name are extremely common, but when I include my middle name i only get one result. (and it isn't me)
 
I only get 1,660,000 results on my name. narrow it down: "First Last" +"Town name" and I get 77 results, about 20 or so about me, mostly about my high school football days or academic stuff

"Why should I? He's the one that sucks."
 
Found links for me being on my football team's roster, for being an impact player on the team, for interning at Northrop Grumman, and being on HardOCP.
 
my heatware and AT information appear on the first page, out of 4400 results. now, the search result with a space in the appropriate place changes it to 1,080,000 results 😱
 
Lots of stuff about a NASCAR driver that I've never heard of before. And then some University page about a student in Iowa.
 
I get nothing. When I put in my name plus my city and state the only thing I get is my grandma's obituary. I'm a pretty famous feller. 😀
