If I am looking for something and all the answers come from the same source it is really not much use for me. On the contrary, it is likely that the user would find it quite annoying and would rather have some diversity in the results. (That's the basic thinking behind Google's QDD principle, remember?) So, given that this is really annoying for the user it is likely that Google will soon find a way to make this not happen. On the other hand, for a user/web surfer this is not really a good thing.

Obviously, the name of the game is to show up in all 10 spots for your chosen search terms, not your name (which is much more difficult) -- but everything that I've written in the story applies to how Google treats everything - your name or your chosen search terms.

That seems to be the logical search result. Why is it impressive that he dominates the whole page when the search is for HIM? That seems to be the logical search result.

Using this philosophy it's wise to code links in everything you do.. link your Vimeo to your website to your Flickr blog, and vice versa. In the "old days" there were a lot of tricks of this sort (such as putting many pages on your site that "fish" and point to your main content), but the SEO engines have caught up with most of them. I built websites for 15 years for clients like MCI, AT&T, Verizon, and the Centers for Disease Control.

As suggested most of the first five or so are all different sites, so it works. I started using my middle initial to separate myself from the dozens of other simply Martin Wilsons. By doing what is recommended here I have gone from 1-2 results on the first page to taking over the first page; I have done it over the last year.

All you need to do is get yourself on the major social and other networking sites with your unique name and it'll happen. For example, I occupy 7/10 of the first page results for my name, Will Ablett. It's much trickier, however, to get yourself in and occupy multiple top ten results for terms that people actually search for; a skill I have yet to master. If you search for 'Bournemouth Wedding Photographer', I'm nowhere to be seen. So although potential clients will find plenty of information about me by searching my name; they're unlikely to know who I am. Although impressive, this is relatively easy to do.
