The solution is really simple, become more popular! When you become popular and have lots of people linking to your site then google will give it a higher rating. Start by asking your friends to put links to your site. Then ask anyone who does a review of a "web portfolio" (whatever that may be) to include a link to your site. Make sure that the links to your site include your name in accompanying text. However if you want mailing list discussions about spam to be the hot items for a google search on your name then continue this discussion! Also for bonus points, if you annoy people here they may provide links from their web sites to this discussion, as many people here have high-ranked web sites that could result in a fairly permanent google result of a search for your name being this discussion. I presume that this is not what you want. If you REALLY want a good google result then you could always pay for some advertising, I understand that the payment model is per-hit so the cost of advertising should be directly proportional to the result. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
