But 35% of self-searchers say their queries do not yield any relevant results.<\/li>\n<li>Just 31% of self-searchers say that most of the results on the critical first page are actually about them, while 62% say the first page of results is mostly about someone else with a name very similar or identical to theirs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And as far as repercussions from digital dirt that they find about themselves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4% of online adults say they have personally had bad experiences because embarrassing or inaccurate information was posted about them online, a number that is unchanged since 2006.<\/li>\n<li>8% have requested that someone remove information about them that was posted online, including things like photos or videos. The vast majority (82%) say they are usually successful at getting that content taken down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Related posts:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/does-your-online-identity-scream-hire-me\/\">Does Your Online Identity Scream &#8220;Hire Me&#8221;?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/online-executive-personal-branding-are-you-digitally-distinct\/\">Online Executive Personal Branding: Are You Digitally Distinct?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/10-ways-to-build-your-personal-brand-online-without-a-blog\/\">10 Ways to Build Your Personal Brand Online Without a Blog<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new Pew Center report indicates that self-Googling is up 10% since 2006.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11,12],"tags":[176,177,190,198,201],"class_list":{"0":"post-1447","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-executive-career-management","7":"category-online-presence-online-reputation-management","8":"category-social-media-and-social-networking","9":"tag-online-presence-online-reputation-management","10":"tag-online-reputation","11":"tag-self-google","12":"tag-social-media-and-social-networking","13":"tag-social-networking","14":"entry","15":"has-post-thumbnail"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Online Reputation Management: Do You Self-Google?
