Googling my name

[sam2698]

I don't get pictures of Barney when i type Hitler in google...

Anyways, it all depends on the uniqueness of your name. If you have a unique name and if your name is displayed in sites and such, then your name will appear on top of google.

It has nothing to do with money. Google is a free place and lists sites for free. You don't pay them money to get a better listing. The sponsored ads on the side of their results and sometimes on the top of the results are where they make their money. The other results are free listings.

90% of it lies within the META tags and the actual content of the page.
If you have keywords in your META tags matching the searched query and your page content also matches the query your page has a great chance of showing up in the top 10 results.

Money, as far as Google goes, can only reserve the two first spots (has a blue-ish background above #1 result) and the side spots (right of results) that are basically like ads, and you pay per clicks.

Why don't you try this:

1. Search your name on google.
2. Contact the top 5 rank website
3. Exchange link with them

Maybe some of them will turn you down. But, it's worth trying.

all you need to do is build links to your site/bio with anchor text links using your name - that is simple enough to do if you feel like writing an article or two and then distributing them to some article directories with a link back to you. If your name is not that common then chances are you will be able to get on the first page if not number #1.
