how popular are you?

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. All are to do with me personally too . Mainly from these forums but some from elsewhere.

157000 Mr Jones entries , 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.

132 matches. many here, a few from livejournal etc.

also a considerable number of Zoo(TM)s, and some gay porn - i don't know nothing, honest!

...and of course, the obligatory "did you mean to type zoom?"

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.

I got 5. One of them is from me at Winamp. I was surprised not to see more up there since my name is also a "Pulp ficiton" character.

2,340,000.... 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 .

Searching for my original nick, 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.

For long you live and high you fly, but only if you ride the tide, and balanced on the biggest wave you race towards an early grave.

Hmm... It says there's 96 entries, but when I checked, there's only 15.

Same here, only Merlin had never posted at all.

Whilst we're searching for forenames, Mark garners 38.4 million results.
