How far down the page do you come? My picture is the 34th one under my name - bafflingly, a picture of someone's knees comes before my face - proving, I guess, that my name is rather common and I am not very important.

My face doesn't come up at all as I'm sensible enough not to allow webpages with my face and name on them be accessed by public search engines.

Side note, I heard searching your name within quotation marks gives more direct results.

Paranoid much?

No images of me. A photograph of a Kestrel I submitted to the BBC picture of the week contest is there.

Rhumbatugger · 07/09/13 - 21:10

I have no pictures in spite of not doing anything computerwise to prevent it.

I'm seriously less important than you Wonkey, obviously:D

Nope. Put in first name and last name and no pics of me right to the bottom of the page, which I find quite reassuring.

There must be a well known angler with the same name as me, though. Lots of pictures of blokes proudly holding up large fish.

That's much more impressive than anything about me.

lemoncurd · 07/09/13 - 21:13

My image comes up 1st, 4th and then 19th!

Though a lot of the images in between are from news outlets that refer to my name in the same article...

edit: Actually the one at 4th is the thumbnail for a video of an ITV interview with me!

Dwight Wright · 07/09/13 - 21:14

I share my name with someone(s) famous so do not appear at all

We are not worthy. Assuming you are not Rose West.

Oooh. I have gone further down the page and found a gravestone with my name on. That's not a very feel-good thing.

Wrong gender and not enough bodies in the basement!

I do have some exposure around these parts though

jarryhack · 07/09/13 - 21:18

I don't come up at all.

KennedyC · 07/09/13 - 21:19

Nothing remotely related to me and, since my name is unique, no one else with my name.

[Deleted User] · 07/09/13 - 21:22

No idea.

Same same as someone famous so it's just pages and pages of pictures of them!

Espresso · 07/09/13 - 21:24

When I do it, I'm the first picture I see. It's a photo that was in the local paper on the single occasion I ever did anything newsworthy.

SJ_Mental · 07/09/13 - 21:24

Not at all.

[Deleted User] · 07/09/13 - 21:26

9th:eek:

Bizarrely there is a business called my full name.

Finny Skeleta · 07/09/13 - 21:28

Nowhere, despite having a not very common name.

I've managed to almost completely divorce my real life and my online life. I've got about 8 or 9 entries on regular Google search but that's just from people that I've done work for in the past but forgot to tell them any of the pseudonyms I prefer to use for online credits.

Luckily I have the same name as an up-and-coming college footballer in the States so his results keep knocking mine further down the list all the time.

Well known flasher then?

Charnham · 07/09/13 - 21:29

no picture of me, under my real name, not many pictures of me online anywhere, dont always want to put my real name to where I post, never mind my picture

TWS · 07/09/13 - 21:30

I don't come up at all, but what is really spooky is the amount of pics of Ian off Eastenders.....considering I am not male and called Ian or Adam

[Deleted User] · 07/09/13 - 21:30

how embarrassing

I used to be a camera-man on Bollywood films.
Now i'm a snake-oil new age empowerment guru

Lyricalis · 07/09/13 - 21:30

No results for me, though there seem to be quite a few criminals with the same name as me. Lots of mugshots come up, even some FBI wanted ones! My name on here is the first result on Google though. My actual name doesn't return any results for me on the first 10 pages. Lots of attention seekers in the US have the same name as me.

I got some EE pictures come up under my real name, based on some comments I left on a more professional website (for TV and the broadcast industry generally) under my real name.

gem2626 · 07/09/13 - 21:34

My profile pic from myspace comes up 5th. Should probably do something about that so it doesn't.

Hey there!
