Monday Morning Marketing Edition 10 | What causes people to search for you in a search engine?

This post is inspired by people searching my name in Google and arriving at my blog.

Some popular terms that people have searched for to arrive at my blog are:

1. "ragobeer" - my last name
2. "chris ragobeer" - my full name
3. "ragobeer is king" - not sure about this one, but I'll take it.

I like to keep a low profile, so I find it amusing that people would actually search for me in Google. Am I that interesting that people would actually search for me? I would like to think not.

I bet if you're a popular blogger you could always compare yourself to your competition using www.compete.com .

What drives people to search for you? More specifically, content creators.

1. They want to know more about you because you were mentioned in an article.
2. They want to keep tabs on you and your latest initiatives.
3. They're bored and what you write amuses them.
4. They want to get in contact with you because you seem like an interesting person.
5. They view your content as learning material. Each post allows them to view things in a different light.

Excuse me while I go search for some people in Google. By the way, thank you everyone for searching my name!
