I always refer to myself as Jennifer..simple. I always use the username ladylike4 if it is available or ladylike4444 if it isn't.<br/><br/>You search ladylike4 and I am numbers 1-70 in the search...yeah they are all me. LOL....<br/><br/>The coolest thing now though is I have been doing this so long. When you search just "Jennifer". I am like number 12 or so. I think that is pretty cool. There is like Jennifer Love Hewitt behind me. LOL...<br/><br/>See ya... This is funny. I always refer to myself as Jennifer..simple.

It really is a lot less complicated than it is made out to be. ;)<br/><br/>Lynne - I don't do it too often with posts though I will sometimes by accident just because I've got used to referring to myself as Snoskred. :) hehe<br/><br/>Cybercelt - If you have any posts which I could add to that bloggers are helpful sidebar.. in fact I should add your pay to post series. I'm on it, I'll fix it before the day is over. ;) but if you have any others please send me links and I will add them - that goes for anyone reading this.<br/><br/>Christine - labels is a tricky one since blogger put in their robots.txt. It will actually ignore all your labels. :( It's much better to work a keyword into your post three or four times than to label it. If you were on Wordpress then I'd be saying something different. Blogger is making life hard for us. :(<br/><br/>Julie - Yours is excellent for Julie Pippert but for just Julie on it's own not so good. It would be hard work to climb to the top of that pile of Julie's. :) You're #5 for Pippert on its own, have you ever considered just using Pippert as your sign off? ;) Sort of like a nickname?<br/><br/>I only say that because people tend to use one word when referring to someone if you give them an option of two words, especially when it is a first and last name. So someone might say "Julie said" rather than "Julie Pippert said". I think most of the time here on my blog I've referred to you with the two names as far as I can remember.<br/><br/>Opal - with such a beautiful name as you have, if I had it I'd be splashing it everywhere. :) And I'd create a special Opal header for my blog to go with it, because I love Opals. We have some of the best Opals in the world in Australia - and some of the best Opal shops. I can spend a lot of time just looking at them.. :)<br/><br/>I think it is good to aim to be in the top 10 at least, for the words you want to rank for. Well done on getting there so fast!<br/><br/>Elizabeth - Thomas is quite impressive. ;) hehe I love his blog. There's a lot of search results for your name, so it may be worth considering using a nickname. It's never too late to do it, at least I don't think it is. Opal used to be Vegan Momma and only recently changed to Opal. ;)<br/><br/>Pearl - Your writing is excellent.. :) you'll have no troubles. I'm looking forward to receiving it!<br/><br/>Renegade Science - It is pretty easy to follow though.. it just means being conscious of how you're referring to yourself. ;)<br/><br/>Thanks for the comments all! ;) I am glad you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. :)<br/><br/>Snoskred<br/>http://www.snoskred.org/ Just one note before I get into the comments – the majority of these posts will always be available in the “bloggers are helpful” section of my sidebar. :)

The only one I'm not ranking #1 is The Raw And The Cooked Amazon and Brown University are ahead of me leaving me in the number three spot. :-) <br/><br/>I now rank #1 for my real name and that is simply by signing my name on the websites I frequent. My two newest websites are less than two weeks old but I secured the number one spot I didn't use myself in the third person but those key words <br/>(weigh, videos, diva's, online, videos, loss) are woven throughout my pages.
