Somehow, with only 1 out of 30 Google results being about me, I got a 9. The only correct hit was the 30th, which points to the IP&T alumni page.

Of course, I share the name of a Liberal Democrat MP from Tauton, who tends to hog the Google results, and I use my real name online judiciously.

I also did not appreciate the fact that “Professor” is not on the list of Job Functions.

99,300,000 hits and with all the Mayors, professors, and artists I only scored a 0.3 - I need a new name if I want an online identity.

Golly, I got a 7. I thought my 14,500 hits, having all of the first 30 be about me and having them be about me or my stuff was pretty good, but I need to read Chapter 11. I’m going to finish writing this grant instead.

Interesting. My name brought back a 7.3, and Matthew Buckley brought back a 7.0.

21 results of Marion Jensen were about me, but only 9 of Matthew Buckley. And yet that still ranked high. I think it was because Matthew Buckley returned 15,000 hits, and Marion Jensen only returned 564.

Looks like I need to work on my electronic footprint.
