Yesterday I found out when he mailed me a glossy advertisement for the
service deparatment that the dealer where I bought a used car 6 months
ago made up a webpage with my first and last name as part of the url.
And my home address on the page.

I've gone to a lot of trouble to keep my home address out of the phone
book and off the web.

My name is in the high level domain area, between www and .com.

Do you think search engines will find it? So far I think they
haven't.


If you learn HTML you can put meta tags onyour webpage that speeds
things up a lot.
Bit here on the topic.

If you do your webpageon some word proceesors eg "Word", you can save
as a webpage and it puts some in automatically but mostly crap you
don't want.


This guy does NOT want his page found. It should be easy to get rid of it,
or leave a blank page.

There was a day way back in the early browsing Internet, one day I entered
my name, gregs page, and found infosearch had found it. I was amazed. That
was it, there were no other gregs page. There was a time when google would
not recognize my gregs page. Now, when you search gregs page, it's right
back there near the top!
