    I usually search name with speech marks before and after name. Apparently I have a degree in something, (can't pronounce the word!) I am also a good poet too!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    You can also subscribe to google alerts. It only tells you of newly added 'whatever you want alerting about'

    That way you get an automatic e-mail each time your name is mentioned on the web, it saves you having to plough through loads of sites over and over again that you've already looked at.

    I normally just put my name in quotes (was told ages ago it can make a difference) and search UK only (otherwise it brings up thousands:eek: )!

    This isn't always accurate though as my friend recently won something and her name is on the website. When she googles her name as it appears though, it doesn't show up on search results :confused:
