Ok, if your name is “Mike Norman” please quit reading now…. totally not for you, this cannot help you in anyway.. also throw your computer away. the rest of you, this is a quick and easy way to make your Google profile a higher result on the profile search!
First off if you have not done so create your google profile. to do so login to your google account then click this link. then click “Create a profile“, and fill out all the info as best you can. link as many other accounts as you can so that people searching for you find those and vice versa. id also recommend clicking the allow people to contact you box and of course the box to have you listed in the search results.
the next one i had to do an odd way, they may have fixed it by the time you read this. Were going to verify your name! this will add the Verified tag to your profile and improve its standing amongst the results for your name. you’ll need either a cellphone or a credit card (i used cell phone). go to google knol and login. Click Preferences at the top right, then click the Name Verification tab and the “Verify name by phone” button, follow the simple instructions, reply to the text they send, and bam your name is verified!
If your a web admin or work for multiple companies you would like to be assosiated with your name(and vice versa) i would also recommend verifying all the domains you have! to do that go to your google profile and click “Verify another email address“. Type in the email address you want verified, hit add email, wait for the confirmation email and repeat for other domains you may have. Lastly change your profile URL to something that’s not just numbers.
That’s pretty much all you can do on the google profile side, but to help out i would recommend social networking the shit outta that link! tweet it, share it on google reader, facebook it, just go crazy! that should get you on the way to having the top result for your name on a google profile search! but at the end of the day its still a popularity contest, Good luck! (unless your name is Mike Norman…)
