Sage advice. If you haven't done it yet you need to own something authoritative about yourself, e.g. yourname.com, or better yet yourname.tel, which is like a business card at the DNS layer (with a window from the web of course).
I also periodically delete my Facebook status updates and tweets, although I'm not yet sure whether Google/others will be archiving those indefinitely.
- andyking 17y agoI bought andyking.eu when .eu names were first made available for just that reason, although I only use it for email and not for any web presence - I blog on a different domain. Of course, having such a common name, very little about me appears on Google. In fact, on Google UK at present the first result for my name is a British strip-o-gram! There are also a former MP, a middling footballer and various British and American academics with my name. I'm quite happy with the situation, to be honest. The less that can be found about me on Google, the more comfortable I feel. A friend has an uncommon name and every result on the search engine is for her; every fleeting newspaper mention, running club result and years-old web comment is hers. I'm glad I'm not the same.
