I rule the world!

[Citizensmith]

If you goggle my name, Marcus Christian, I'm the number one result. It's a link to my profile over at photo.net which actually includes a few of my (pretty old) photos. How cool is that (if you are a geek at least). Number 1 google ranking is pretty damn close to ruling the world. I am elite! Fear my google ranking! All other Marcus Christian's bow before me!

Or something. I may be over reacting a bit. :)

[khiemluu]

Haha, that is not a feat to be sneezed at.

I don;t know what's worse, you getting excited about the Google ranking or me actually doing the search, haha ;)

K.

[cactusclay]

Congrats, I get the same with my name.

[CyberDyneSystems]

I'm one of kind as well... ;)
Also,. more unlikely do to it's origins,. my screen name even brings me up as #2 on Google..

[Carzee]

I tried goggle.com but its spyware... I wonder how many "DUH!" hits they get!

[FlyingPete]

Hmmm, third hit, some obsure posting I made to a non-photographic forum in 1998.

However add photography and I get the first two hits (actually one related to this forum).

[thomascanty]

Googling for my name returns the whole first page about me alone. It's been that way for quite some time, too. That's mostly because I have a pretty unusual name, though. There won't be many other pages with that name when I'm probably the only one in the world... :D

[Moppie]

Iv slipped, a lot :(

[dewmuw]

I can top it - do a search on my name and I get the top 20 hits! Sadly they are all related to my work and things I have been quoted as saying! :(

[CoolToolGuy]

I found that I am the pastor of a church in Maine, as well as the Promotion Director of a gun enthusiast magazine in Wisconsin.

Funny, I didn't know about either one - I must be a busy boy! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Have Fun,

[Cadwell]

The first three results on google for my name come up with 3 of my fotopic galleries.

[PacAce]

Well, I'm proud to say that I'm very anonymous and you won't find any hits of me anywhere with my name (although there are lots of hits for the same name but they're not for me) and that's exactly how I like it. :mrgreen:

[roanjohn]

WOW!!! That is pretty amazing!!!

Congrats........!!! (on whatever acheivement you've accomplished)..

[roanjohn]

WOOOHOOOO!!! GOO GOOOGLE!!!!

[Belmondo]

Congratulations.

I tried the same thing using my real name, and got zero hits. Then, I tried 'Belmondo.' That didn't even get me to the first page of Google results because of the actor, Jean-Paul Belmondo. Finally, I searched Belmondo and Canon, and voila!-----numero uno!

I fear this exercise has only had limited results in boosting my ego.

[VesselinG]

When I search my name, only pages about Michael Gorbachov appear...

[MazerRakhm]

Hmm...

My name is rather common, so I'll search for my full name, google shows me 1-10 of about 6,250,000 entries.

My results for page 1:
- Nude pictures of the actor (Pictured in avatar)
- I'm a musician
- A doctor in Oregon
- A professional photographer in Seattle Washington! (I can't seem to find any of his pictures so I can't see how much better than me he is.)
- Department of Cognitive Sciences - Laboratory for Cognitive Brain Research (I have no idea what that is, but it sounds way cool!)
- A banker (Sr. VP in fact! Go me!)
- Doctoral Student Biochemistry

[Longwatcher]

I check my moniker out about once a quarter just to see if someone else is coopting it or using it inappropriately and find I take up at least the first 6 pages of a google search,
Mostly my Amazon.com reviews, POTN comments, but scattered amoung those are my web pages and a couple of other sites I have copyrighted material on.
However, first on the search is my White-Wolf "World of Darkness" source book inventory, which is one of the most complete listings on the net of those, plus I inlcude ISBN numbers which most people don't. I being the sneaky person I am have a hidden link for spiders my other sideline web sites on that page, so I am always happy that one comes up first.

For my real name though first and third on the list is a photographer, unfortunately it is neither myself nor my father. He is fairly good though. Although he also does people; primarily, he does kids in action. I tend to do women with few clothes. The rest of the links tend to be for a Bishop, a westler and a real estate agent on the first page.

[IanD]

Hmmmm, tried my full name and ended up on page 2. Tried IanD and art least I made it to page 1 :):) Tried IanD and Canon and made it third from the top! http://www.pbase.com/giant001/image/42056515.jpg

[samdring]

First four entries are me and then number 5...

awakened incarnations, such as Samdring Dorje Phagmo, the famous incarnation
of the deity Vajra Yogini who served as abbess of the Samdring Monastery

..the real me ;)

[CoolToolGuy]

Geez, I googled my handle, and the first several were posts from here. I also saw a reference to a thread here from another forum altogether (not photography). And then, I saw someone who is using the same handle on Amazon and other tool forums - and dat ain't me!

Perhaps I need a copyright or a trademark :rolleyes:

Have Fun,

Thats something I should have done, long after I started useing Moppie Bertram made a boat called the Moppie.
I could have done rather well out of that :evil:


And a search for Moppie Canon gets this as the first link: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=mozclient&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=Moppie+Canon
A photo I posted here, of my Father :cool:



Moppie Forum, puts me at the top, and bottom of the first page, in two differnt forums :D

[ssim]

Well I tried it and I am number one. I had done this quite some time ago and I was on the second page. Apparently I am also a college tennis star and am quite accomplished at track and field.

[ssim]

Perhaps you should have tried googling "Lost Tripods", I'm sure you'd be right up there:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Kinger]

I tried googling my name, but I kept getting pages and pages about some obscure author.

[Bruce Hamilton]

If you goggle my name, Marcus Christian, I'm the number one result....I am elite! Fear my google ranking! All other Marcus Christian's bow before me!

I'm glad my name isn't Marcus Christian. :p

[Claire]

I've Googled my name now and then. Nowadays my website ends up on top. :) If I just Google my first name I find out I'm a tiny village in Burkina Faso. LOL My name also shows up in relation to some articles I've written, but the links don't go to the articles strangely enough. I'm also quoted in my Uni teacher's various pop cultur essays. Ah, I knew I had done good when I let my boyfriend force me to see "The Phantom Menace". :D
