How many results do you get when you search for "your user name" in google? How many are actually things about you specifically?
don't forget the "" so it searches for your name exactly as it is.
I got 9 (http://www.google.co.uk/search?num=50&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=%22phily+baby%22&btnG=Google+Search). All are to do with me personally too :D. Mainly from these forums but some from elsewhere.

157000 Mr Jones entries :D, only one of the first page of google was about me, user profile at 1001winampskins, however...
Jones Owns , my user profile on the Winamp.com skins database, provides 1020 matches, a fair few of them link back to skins I have published here.

...and of course, the obligatory "did you mean to type zoom?"
Xerxes
27th January 2003, 14:18
I get millions of entries, not only due to my nick's historical significance, but also because of it appearing in some dumb playstation game.

X, once upon a time, typing Xerxes into a serch engine used to bring up some amateur porn site, Xerxes and Lottie or some such nonsense, German swingers they were, I think he changed his name however the last time I looked :D

Russ
27th January 2003, 18:37
2,340,000 (http://www.google.com/search?q=russ).... but to be fair this isn't my original forums name, "Russ" was unavailable when I registered, but I got the original Russ nuked because he only posted once in 2 years... what a waste of a decent name :p.
Searching for my original nick, russgarrett (http://www.google.com/search?q=russgarrett) yeilds 85 results, and all of the first page are me... you could probably tell a great deal about my life from that ;). It also asks you meant my actual name, which is kind of it.

Results 1 - 10 (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22sgtfuzzbubble99%22) of about 96. Search took 0.16 seconds.
:) Most of them are from these forums and other sites that have my smilies on them.
Hmm... It says there's 96 entries, but when I checked, there's only 15. :weird:

Same here, only Merlin had never posted at all.
