Create Your Legacy with Google
At one of my first SEO training workshops that I attended as a student back in the early 2000’s the instructor made a statement that has stuck with me during my Internet Marketing career. He said “Whatever you publish online today your children, your grand children and great grandchildren will be able to access it, is so whatever you’re putting online make sure it is accurate and something you would be proud of having them read and learn about you”.
One of the most powerful pages that you can ever build for yourself is a Google Profile page.
You’re Google Profile page can tell your story of who you are, what your interests are and tie in all your other social media properties, your email accounts and your websites to your businesses.
Therefore when you create your Google you should think of it as you’re Google Home page on the web!
Here is a short seven minute video that will teach you how to build a Google Profile page and why they are important in search engine optimization.

sweet spot.
I am wholeheartedly in favor of using actual names. I find it makes my comments more valuable because I know I will be held personally accountable for what I say. People are less likely to respond with vitriol when they know they are speaking to a real person. On line quality and standards need to improve and that can only happen if anonymity is broken.
By the way, for those of you managing your Google presence a good first step creating a Google profile.
If you dont give full name in google profile, it might index it but will show in profile searches.Other thing you can try is use the encoded link for eg.
instead of having your name after profie/ that makes it tough to get in searched results.

I think it's difficult to understate the value of maintaining a Google Profile. It helps you direct traffic to the 'right' sites for your name and can provide a ton of help with personal branding. It's like a direct line into the GOOG – you tell it exactly which sites represent you. Anyone who hasn't grabbed their Google Profile yet, should definitely read Danny Sullivan's writeup and build yours today.
