I have had success with getting some sites to remove key things that I didn't like. However, most successfully I have managed to make my own sites be the first results for my name, or at least higher than everything else. I have also had success with being more active with my full name in places that have higher pagerank than the stuff that is just older or otherwise not really representative of who I am.
- tjr 17y agoAgreed. A Google search of my name (no quotes) brings up... 1) my web site, modestly named after myself 2) my amazon.com profile 3) one of my music albums on cdbaby.com 4) my weblog at MIT 5) my linkedin profile 6) my GNU Savannah profile 7) my photo.net profile 8) my facebook profile So perhaps getting one's name onto some other more high-profile sites is a decent way to wash out some unwanted history. Edit: ...whereas a now embarassingly uninformed post that I made to a mailing list in my earlier days on the web doesn't show up until page 10 of Google results. Used to be on the first page.
- aewal 17y agoThanks - quite a few sites on there I didn't realize could rank high
