#8 on Google for My Name

Back on Monday April 2nd, I wrote a post titled “Are you missing out on this Traffic? I was…” about registering your own name as a domain name to get more traffic from the search engines — or at least to dominate the first page of results for searches on your name.
Well, I totally forgot to check to see whether RosalindGardner.com made it to the first page of results for a “Rosalind Gardner” search until just now… and I see that it’s taken the 8th spot.
Not bad. Now I guess I’d better do that with the rest of my sites, eh? 
Have you registered yours, yet?

Rosalind, I followed your example right after I read your earlier post and registered pamelaheywood.com - As of now, it is still devoid of content owing to my general tardiness, however, already if you search for “Pamela Heywood”, it comes up as the top result. Of course, that was relatively easy, as I have a LOT less competition than you do, but I was aware of people searching for me by name and had meant to do something along these lines, but never quite got around to it. So thanks for this tip / reminder, because it was worth doing.
