I did feel much better though when I replaced the other Michael Teper at number one. :-) I care, but I don’t think there’s a good rational reason.

Tell the client to google my name in case they have any doubts who I am. Googling names can be quite funny and sometimes you dig up some old data of some person :) I care and I do the same like you Jim.

Had to post a comment on this one though. This is one I've struggled with. I have two websites for my art and I can't get either of them to rank well for my own name. Admittedly I haven't done very much to achieve it. I have three sites related to me in the top ten and sixteen related to me in the top 100. I'm facing the problem you've mentioned in previous posts - domain age. The number one and two site under my name is from 1987! Hi Jim - been lurking a while now - enjoying your posts!

This should knock the dead people down another notch ;)
