I thought I read somewhere you can be notified if someone is searching for you. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Thanks.

I think there is a resource to receive notification if your name appears on the net, but not if they just google you.

Thanks for the link. Looks like Google Alert doesn't work like I thought it did, lol.

I've never heard of anything that would do this. But if you find out, let us know!  |

Did I understand this - it alerts you if someone is googling you, but doesn't tell you who it is?

I think mylife.com lets you know if somebody searches for you. It does cost money, though.

It alerts you when the specified name or phrase appears on the internet and gives you the link. I don't know of any service that notifies you if your name has been googled. |

FOr a while I had an alert for a couple of real housewives because they were fighting back & forth and talked about alerts on the show. But my phone was, as they say, blowing up. I think it lasted a couple of hours with about 120 alerts and I stopped it.

I think mylife.com lets you know if somebody searches for you. It does cost money, though. I'm not sure if it's still as sketchy, but mylife.com has a ton of complaints about overcharging for services, deceptive business practices, etc. It's pretty much a scam, as are most of those types of websites from what I can tell. Google searching is a large part of my job, so I have looked into them a bit. |
