Maybe this is me talking nonsense, but it seems like Google isn’t a company run strictly by the top and they seem to be doing quite well.

I have the same problem as Brian – as my name is Mark Jackson – probably the two most common names put together.

With that said I do agree with the article that it is important to dominate the top of your chosen name based search term – so I am targeting my business name – MJDIGITAL as that is not very common (even though it is a tad unimaginative!)

Still – good article – thanks.

Thanks Brian, that does sound like quite a challenge. Have you tried creating a website that is solely optimized for your name? i.e. your name im the Title, H tags, content and a bunch of inbound links with your name as the anchor text?

Great article. I unfortunately have the same name as a bigtime Hollywood actor, as well as the slight misspelling of an old NFL pro, so I will never list for my actual name.
