I am lucky enough to have a rather unique last name — I’ve never met anyone who I wasn’t related to with the same one. And none of my family members have much of a web presence

Mark Farner, guitarist for Grand Funk Railroad.

Type “Farner” into Google and it takes until the fourth page to find something about yours truly. This guy might be pretty hard to take down, but I’m trying anyway.

George Blanda was my first fave player, and was on tv fot the first football game I watched. He was near the end of his career but as QB and kicker he was the bomb to this 8 year old.

Very good advice. I would also recommend commenting on other blogs (Hey, wait a sec…) and leaving your URL or a permalink to a relevant post.

Also, do what you can to get other sites to pick up your URL or RSS feed. I get a good number of hits from Wired Journalists and other blogs/sites.

Posting links on Twitter also helps drives traffic.
