Go on, admit it. You search for your own name all the time. I bet you even have it on Google alerts. When your name is your brand, it’s not just ego to protect it, it’s essential business sense.

Too hard to get ranked for my name - first name is too short, and my last name is better known as belonging to someone else (Hi Brad) despite the fact that I’m probably older than he is. However, if you make up a word, and essentially use it as your moniker everywhere you go for twenty years or so, eventually you float to the top. Mine’s been #1 in Google ever since I can remember. Maybe not the brand I’d choose, but it’s what I’m stuck with.

I share my name with the former artistic director of the San Francisco Ballet. If you search on the formal version of the name, he’s first. Cut Robert down to Bob and I win.

Ha with a name like "Dave Olson," you gotta be on the game. There is a musician, formula one driver, actor, born again evangelist preacher, a fireman, a mechanic all online - plus half the state of Minnesota - somehow i manage to stay top of the list (unless one of them gets really famous ;-)).
