Don’t trust your Google!

So a client of mine recently Googled my name looking for my email address.  What she ended up with was a link to a “nighttime connoisseur,” which she forwarded on to me for a laugh.  If you’ve ever Googled my name, you’ve probably seen that site, as well as sites for a Tracy Lee that does nude-self portraits, a couple of random designers, and even a burlesque dancer.  I don’t come up in the search until – well, maybe never.  I gave up after the 250th result.  I’ve known about this issue for a while, and clients have even mentioned that they were hesitant to meet with me after seeing a couple of these search results.  Apparently there are a lot of Tracy Lees out there, many of whom are doing somewhat risque things.

Moral of the story:  No, I am not that Tracy Lee.

I envy those of you with unique names.  I doubt anyone falsely believes you to be an exhibitionist :)
