Googling your name27 Apr
Have you ever tried searching for your name on Google? If you have a blog or you are active online doing some posts on different forums, then surely you will see some results.
How can you find if somebody is searching your name on Google.
Option 1 - This will work only if your blog ranks 1st on the Google search result or atleast 1-3 position. Create a Google Adwords campaign with your name as the keyword. You can find if you get clicks for your campaign
Option 2 - Check your blog statistic on Google Adwords, you can find it under the organic traffic source.
Self Googling
Searching for your name on Google is known as Self Googling. I do get some traffic to my blog and other websites with my name as the keyword. Now a days many employers do search for the employees on Google to find more information about the candidate. If you try Googling my name “Kishore Asokan“, you will find lots of information about me on different websites. Recently I read a post on Homeland security Googling names. Self Googling is a way to find out how different people around the world and trying to find about you. Some stats show that 47% of the internet users do self googling, infact self Googling reveals your online footprint.
