I found this post on Brazen Careerist and also clicked through from your comment. Anyways, I had this same talk today with a group of high school students. I tried to bring the point across to them that just because they are sophomores, junior's what have you, that it doesn't mean they can't start branding themselves now. I encouraged them to blog, blog about something/anything. Make it interesting, be creative and start putting yourself out there in a positive light. When you Google your name you don't want a YouTube video of you jumping off a roof, you want a YouTube video of you giving a presentation or running your class. There is so much good to Social Media and it is up to the people who ave the power to teach and instill that into the youth or everyone for that matter. Nathan,

I'm definitely going up against IMDB, with the actor (pretty sure he's on FX's Rescue Me). To my knowledge none of the Michael Lombardis are on Wikipedia. I would think they wouldn't pass the sniff test on how well-known they are. Playing with LinkedIn SEO is interesting though. I suppose, you could put your LinkedIn profile's URL into the comments on blogs (as opposed to your blog's URL). I'm not sure, but it's certainly possible that search engines consider links in blog's comment sections. Thanks for stopping by Nathan.

Thanks for taking the time to share! It can be [very] difficult when building yourself up in Google rankings if what you're trying to bump are social networking type sites. Likewise, going up against IMDB (or wikipedia) is a tough opponent to beat. SEO may help (eg: good use of nofollows is something i've recently been looking at). Otherwise, I'd say if you can use LinkedIn as a means to drive people to your blog (i've had a few companies get in touch with me by hitting my LI profile and then going to my blog for my e-mail), it works. I haven't played with whether or not there are things you can do to boost your LinkedIn profile's google rank (update your LI Profile frequently, etc?). Worth looking into, though :) Like your blog, btw Hey Michael!

There are a lot of Michael Lombardis out there. In the past few years, one small time actor named Michael Lombardi has picked up most of the top spots in search rankings. (Another Michael Lombardi, an executive in one of the NFL clubs, takes a lot of the spots with news articles mentioning him.) As 1 of the sea of Michael Lombardis I'm just trying to make sure that when I'm searched for, I'm found. Like you said, if I didn't, it would be the same as not existing to the rest of the world. If you search my name and any of my employers or city, you'd find my LinkedIn profile or blog pretty quickly, although I don't know I trust Google searchers to be quite that efficient at searching.
