Have you seen that movie Wanted? With Angelina Jolie & James McAvoy? Well, I remember in the beginning of that movie Wesley (James McAvoy) was narrating about how he did not know the purpose for his life and he felt he was a nobody. He typed his name in a Google Search and it showed zero results. Is it possible for a persons name to show zero results? So maybe you can help me with this little experiment. I’m going to type my full name in a Google search and see how many results I get and see if that’s actually me in the results.
Here we go:
And here are my results: 551,000 results for the name Eric Tan
Man, I’m not even in the top ten. I guess the name Eric Tan is very very common:
How about you? How many search results show up for your name? And are you in the top ten? Because this is Contest Wednesdays, I will turn this into a commenting contest.

I did a search on jominix bacerdo and maui bacerdo
and both ranked #1…i guess it’s a pretty unique name. (duh?)
and guess what? among the 14,500 results not only that my name is on Top 1, but I’m occupying the 9 out of 10 on the first page alone! cool di ba?
one of the results was dated 13-Aug-00. tagal ko ng naka-online …hehehe
Awesome eric… I’m glad you are in the first page of your names search… it pays to be on google!
Actually, I did search for both my nickname (Ikki) and my name (Héctor Cabrera) and found out that I’m not in the top ten either.
Ikki is a famous anime character from the Saint Seiya comic. Héctor Cabrera was a famous singer over here. I was kinda expecting not to appear in the top ten results for this searches
since my name is occupying the top spot on google, this makes me to think to use my name for online marketing
Hi Ikki and eric, I’m glad you we all learned something from my post… I learned I need to do more SEO stuff with mine.
My name is on top of course. jominix bacerdo…
I haven’t seen anyone else having my name – Ganesh Srinivas, in the blogosphere. But if I do a Google search, it turns out there are a lot of folks with my name but thank god, they’re not in the blogosphere.
