[...] Personally, I don’t see any reason why it’s a bad move. Isn’t it a blogger’s ultimate SEO wet dream for his blog to rank first in the SERPs for his name? I know I do. We’ve talked about it here before on ego searching. [...]

I’m happy when I search my name because I can see that I’m listed in the highschool where I graduated via namesdatabase and the company where I’m working right now!!! =)

I think I’m pretty lucky with this.

And I think someone out there isn’t so blessed. Bad karma? Hehehe.

Let’s just say, I dominate the SERPs for my name

Not really. Actually, I want my real name to be removed from Search Engines that’s why I decided to use GUrbi instead of my real name. I want a private life… That’s all!

I’ve always talked about this during my talks because it could have implications esp. when applying for new jobs.

Wow, Sarit, I never thought I’d see a Hebrew blog linked from a Filipino one.

I actually don’t like it, but I have no choice. Years of going spare with my own name without thinking of how powerful google might get left me pretty visible on the net.
Not only that, but google somehow know how to direct my name to my blog - and I don’t even use my full name there. I think it’s basing it on old links but I’m not sure. I really didn’t some of the guys from work to find it but they did.

Eh, I’ll get over it.

At least the top result is OK, but the others point to mailing list archives and blog posts I made. Not exactly relevant.

Oh yes, I’m with the top 10 of the 32.3 million Gails of the world Search “Gail” or “Gail Dela Cruz,” and the ones relevant to me point to my blog, portfolio, or sites I’ve done.

I guess the only “dark past” I would have been ashamed of would be the designs I’ve made in the 90’s
