Yeah, what I think is being said is not HOW many hits under your name, but WHERE ARE YOU on the ranking? Of course, if you have a common name, you probably won't find yourself for pages, and then you would be like number 300 out of 5000000 entries or something, etc.

"Marcus Ranum" gives me 31,600 hits.

But who are these other guys "Ed Gein" and "David Berkowitz" and "Ted Bundy" whose names keep coming up alongside mine? It's weird...

mjr.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

When I do a search by my legal name, I get a whopping 14! They are all me, though I was momentarily puzzled by all the Ed Gein references, until I remembered writing and recording some background music for a movie about him a few years ago. Don't know why I used the name my momma gave me for that (well, she has always been a fan...)

Equally disconcerting is the fact that searching for "Easy Pickens" gives me 9,240, the first couple of pages at least are fairly well divided between me and Slim Pickens' brother, but I gave up looking for my website. My myspace profile's on the first page, of course!

Drops down to 151 for "Easy Pickens" guitar, but with a higher concentration of... me.

And people wonder why I don't use my name for modeling. smile

I put in the b/fs last name though only, and came up with ~650...and 95% is him, one of his siblings, parents, or ex-wife.  The other 5% are stupid genealogy sites. smile

Edit:  I take that back.  90% - and it includes his siblings spouses, neices, nephews, etc.  The 5% I took away are the random couple other rare folks with his last name in the world. smile
