Googlebation, the act of self-Googling.

Re: Google-bating
I don't appear inside the first ten pages of my search. 
I'm thinking that it's time to engage in fast cars and loose women, sex drugs and rock and roll. Try to boost the profile a little. |

Re: Google-bating
Just so you all know I am none of the things in my google-bating because I am not famous either, just fun to find who else shares your name and what they have done...

Re: Google-bating
Rather freakily, the third hit is a guy at Birmingham University who's very good at archery. This is freaky because I did go to Birmingham University.
Don't get a hit which is actually me until the 8th page, and that (surprisingly enough) is me on my soap box about the VED rates.

Re: Google-bating
The most famous instance of my name though (judging by there being a lot of links to it) is on a gravestone in New York with a mysterious Masonic code and sigils on it.
James Leeson's Grave - Noise's Photo Blog - RoWdYdOw
If only I'd known this back in Feb, I could have gone and taken a picture of my grave. |
