Google Yourself

When I typed in Ashley Meuser in Google, the name "Patrick Ashley Meuser Bianca" came up. He took up all but one link on the first page of Google, and the majority of the other pages. My Facebook page didn't even show up which was surprising, but my old MySpace page from middle school came up around page 2 or 3. But because I deleted everything off of it, just my name exists on the website (tried to delete it at one point and MySpace wouldn't let me so I deleted all the content). Other than Patrick and MySpace, all that shows up for my name are "classmates" pages for my high school, high school honor roll, and soccer rosters.

I've searched my name on Google in the recent past, and normally found articles and links to a swimmer with the same name as me. She took up most of the pages, so this Patrick person must be relatively new. He seems to be involved in everything possible from property being taken away to professional profiles to health forums. By page 3, there is finally a new Ashley Meuser that has her own blog (not me) on healthy tailgating. After that one link, it quickly goes back to Patrick.

There was one link that was weird, it was my name and a unigo account linking me to UW-Madison. I never created one, but I know that I am the only Ashley Meuser at this university. I am not sure how I got my name on that website. I went up to page 5 and Google was still listing articles to Patrick and then that swimmer I mentioned earlier. Finally, I found there was one for Facebook but it was my friend's facebook, listing my name as one of his friends! so my facebook didn't show up but my name showed up in association with another's page. Definitely weird. Anyway, I guess there's not much on me on Google.
