This is quite interesting. Since we are all looking for our names I did a search for my own full name, in inverted commas, and got 529 hits -- all me. Some go back to publications as far back as the mid 1970s -- most refer to recent postings. Of course Don Williams returns about 1.2 million hits of which a few hundredths of a percent are me. I've done searches for myself before but usually in association with other words and not in inverted commas; because, with a name like Don Williams, direct searching for the name is hopeless. There are at least two pretty well know people with that name out of hundreds. One sings the other illustrates. However, the interesting part of this is that I found some of my older publications cited in some recent papers. I had no idea they'd made /any kind/ of impression -- let alone a lasting one.

What you get is indeed influenced by asking for that specific term, as Don did by putting the full name in quotes. On D. K. Whaley I got 95,800 hits. Preposterous! So, I tried D. K. Whaley and got 68 hits! Don Whaley, 1840 hits Keith whaley, my usual 'name', got 738 hits. While a number of the hits were indeed accurate, and DID reflect information hits, but even then a fairly large number were not me. Now *I* know I'm not an agricultural taxonomist, a priest, a rock star, a scientist, don't llve in the U.K., etc. But, anyone just trying to see what and who I am, and Google me, wouldn't know most of that.
