I don’t want to know who searches for me, but is there a way to be notified IF someone searches my name, blog or website title. I’m a writer and I just want to be able to check search growth. I know it would be an estimation and not all related to me, but it would give an indication of search popularity.

there’s just no way that you can know about everyone that searches for your name on Google. Boy, it would be nice though, wouldn’t it?

Unless they could see me, too… what would the old boyfriends say ;^D

@Jordan -

WRAL ain’t exactly the epicenter of journalistic excellence. I am sure the only Peabodys they’ve seen are the ones that show up at the Durham Bull games on Bullwinkle night.

They sure will make a killing from the paranoid though won’t they? A client of mine called me up a while ago asking if I provide this service (not this particular website, but a similar, less-polished competitor). I raised almost exactly the points you made criticising the validity of their marketing claims.

3 days later they’d signed up anyway. Pfft, clients…

Dear WRAL,

You have, like, THE reputation management guru living in your city. Advice: at least get a sound bite from him before running with the next press release from people like this.

Not much love,
Jordan

PS–Durham is not a dirty word!

@Otilia-

Paraphrasing your own words…

“It’s amazing how little is known on performing routine car repairs and maintenance by the larger audience. I’ve witnessed people who spend 30+ hours in the car for work purposes and who weren’t able to distinguish between transmission fluid and radiator fluid, and had no clue how to use dashboard indicators.

When your audience is not too savvy, it’s easy to come up with repairs like these…”

I hope as Internet marketers we will forge a better reputation than auto mechanics by educating novices rather than mocking them. Oh…there I go being naive and idealistic again

@Michael: you can tell them that wearing a brown bag over one’s head while surfing is the safe way to protect privacy. And typing with gloves so ‘they’ won’t get your fingerprints

I still get asked by people if the website owner can “see me” like on video, even when there is no video camera.

It’s amazing how little is known on performing internet searches and web metrics by the larger audience. I’ve witnessed people who spend 30+ hours online for work purposes and who weren’t able to distinguish between organic results and paid results, and had no clue how to use advanced search options.
When your audience is not too savvy, it’s easy to come up with claims like these…
