i've the same problem.
an old .go.to domain is ranked as 1st when you search my name with google.
100x adding my url to google and playing with the searchbot metatags etc in the html didn't work to change that.

once again guys its the number backlinks you have that matter.

there's not much competition for my name so i would think it would be easy. i was well placed (3rd) with the exact same site for months. no changes whatsoever.

do you have access to web hits...have you seen any bots crawling around your site?

Are those spaces between the letters of your name in the title tags? I don't think the all caps would effect it but those spaces could.

kid- thanks for your suggestion. i'm gonna change that tonight just in case, but it used to be ok. :-(
i get lots of bots from all major search engines. about 2 times a week each.

it's a strange thing indeed. my site is 2nd if you search for 'mirola' and it's been redundant for about a year now.

No problem!

Don't know if Googlebombing still works, haven't tried it in awhile. might be worth a shot...
- grafholic0
not sure about bombing, but once time i created a tiny frame inside client's page, and that was linking to blogger (google).
prior to that, bots never crawled his site. now it does twice a week. not sure about ranking though.

i dont know why but in San Mateo, California there is like a Borel Florist, a Borel Trust Bank, a Borel Deli, a Borel Middle School... a lot of things BOREL... which isnt a very popular surname...
maybe i should go down there and stake my claim

post some outragous stuff on nt so people click your profile and visit your site.
Google 'tony dolan' for proof

maybe someone named "borel" discovered san mateo? but then he didn't want to make it san borel, because that sounds like sombrero so changed it to san mateo?i dunno...weird though.

"A monster that acts like a roach but strikes orbs when it can could help with high-security doors, however it could also be distracting if it got trapped next to an orb. "
as quoted on the site that is beating me out of first place.
