Are you Googleable?

Have you Googled your name or Buisness Lately? In the age of Google, being special increasingly requires standing out from the crowd online.

Many people aspire for themselves to command prominent placement in the top few links on search engines or social networking sites' member lookup functions. But, as more people flood the Web, that's becoming an especially tall order for those with common names,like "John Smith" or maybe "JR Productions".

Before you name any new business,Google your name ideas and see how many busines' come up with the same name. It will become more evident if the name of your business will come up-or not at all.-The simple fact is,if you see how many people have the same business name as yours-then your on line presence may be less effective. So any time you can distinguish yourself with a distinctive name or a distinctive characteristic that sticks out in people's minds,then that's going to be your best solution.

For people prone to vanity searching,punching their own names into search engines -- absence from the first pages of search results can bring disappointment. On top of that, some of the "un-Googleables" say being crowded out of search results actually carries a professional and financial price.

I recently heard a story on FOX5 New York of a women who gave $100,000.00 to a man via a dating service claiming to be a top government official-including being a top advisor for President Bush. Though I feel sorry for the woman who was scamed,if she
would have just done her due dillegence,maybe it could have been avoidable.

Truth be told,someone of that stature would have had some on line presence documentation to help support his claim.-Because in 2008 The New York times indicated -"You're Nobody Unless Your Name Googles Well".
