    ya can get google to email you whenever your name comes up
    go to google
    click on more
    click on even more
    scroll down to near the bottom where it says specialised search and on the right hand side is

    Good idea googling name, unless somebody with same name wins an olympic medal.
    I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus

    I have found quite a few prizes from googling my name in the past. Great tips though Missprice, I will use this from now on :).
    I have found that it does not include when you are mentioned on FB though so will continue searching on there and hoping winners circle tag me :)
    Thanks to all those fab compers who post:j:T
  • Also, Using social-searcher is a great way to look out for wins! just type your name in, followed by congrats, congratulations, winner, etc etc..
    Started Comping again 26th November! Bring on the fun! :)
