Is It Neil or Neill Watson?

by Neill on January 8, 2009

Have you ever typed your own name into Google to see what comes up? With luck and you’re doing your job right with Search Engine Optimisation, you’ll be number one on page one. Of course, you might also be dismayed at how many other people there are in the world with the same name as you. If your name can be spelled several ways, try changing that and you’ll be even more disturbed. Type in your name and profession and you might just leap out of your seat at how many other people there are out there, doing your job and with your name!

If you’re like me and nearly everyone spells your name wrong, you can find it frustrating. Makes you find kind of small, doesn’t it? Of course there’s no easy way around this other than hard work. I’ll be writing over on my other website about ways that issue can be resolved later this month, but meanwhile, I’ve written this page to help me along a bit.

And apologies to my mother, who always gets cross when people spell my name the other way!
