How Many Google References To You Are There?

[simon43]

After seeing that the 'How many TV members have a Masters degree' thread had been 'reactivated', I thought it would be fun to see how many web pages indexed by Google search engine referred specifically to me!

Of course, a high number of indexed pages could be because you are infamous, rather than famous...

Care needs to be taken to ensure that the number of results that Google returns actually refers to yourself, (I add specific words such as previous companies that I have been involved with etc....)

For myself, I get a result of x thousand pages, but further scrutiny indicates that the number of relevant indexed webpages is maybe about 100.

The most 'infamous' webpage is one from the BBC website which refers to me as a former rocket scientist who created the best 'chatbot' for porn merchants!!

Fame at last

How about you?

[Boater]

3970 and they are all related to me ! .........

[QED]

As I share a name with a rather famous musician I got bored after 100 or so pages as it all refers to him

[HumChang]

HumChang got 283 - that surprised me!

But my real name got me 306,000 which is about right. I share my name with a Hollywood Cameraman/Director.

[Sabum]

lol, 70,000 results just for me, I have the unique talent of being the only one in the world with my name. I stopped checking after 20 pages but they were all me. Wish this actually meant something.

I played it smart and entered my name + Thailand, and was rather excited to see several thousand Google references to me...until I realized NONE of them referred to myself. Rather, I shared the same name as a westerner pedophile, jailed in Thailand! Lots of news articles. Scared me enough to keep my passport with me for the next police stop, just so they won't think I broke out of jail!

7,170,000 for David B*****

[PhilHarries]

There are 129,000 for my full name, 14,600,000 for phil harries and 8,100 for philharries.

I don't know how many are actually me as I'm not a novelist/crime writer, nor a bobsleigh rider nor Olympic athlete (1988 Seoul and 2002 Salt Lake City) but I do feature on the first page of philharries with reference to my profile here on TV.

For me that's more than enough fame but nowhere near enough fortune.

3970 and they are all related to me ! .........

Well 2718 of them seems to be your posts on Thaivisa alone

[MJo]

My full name brings around 250k hits.

Apparently i wrote a widely published article of "Kinetic model for the action of the inorganic pyrophosphatase from Streptococcus faecalis" in the 80's. Cant remember but maybe it was as part of my A-levels

[Heng]

One of the benefits (or negatives) of having one of those 17 letter Thai last names. You can google and know exactly where you and all of your relatives are either living or doing business. I have about half a dozen hits personally and about 200 for the family as a whole.

[Mosha]

1,900,000 or there abouts. Unfortunately I share the name with someone who was murdered. If I had flightplans after my name it's down to 5700. (FS 2004)

[Mario2008]

Only 104, I share my real name with a musician. Realy related to me about 10. My last name scores 13,300. Including a bishop.

Mario2008 scores 69,900 hits.

[h90]

2500 with my real name and the first is on "Ripoffreport.com"

[PeaceBlondie]

I was wondering when I became a moderator here, and found it. 11/24/2005. My given name is too common - Xymondias PeaceBlondie - there are millions of us.

[Thaddeus]

Glad I looked, only 118 for my real name, most of which are for someone who used to be high up in the Salvation Army, but three are me.

One is a mention on a website for the last company I worked for, one is a high score on a Mac game that I submitted nearly ten years ago and the last one is me listed as a DJ on the local radio station (with my bloody mobile number, I'll be having words about that)

[astral]

Nothing, thank God.

[Maigo6]

98,702 For me personally and 365,897 for my brother.
