		<description>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 :P</description>

		<description>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. :-P</description>

		<description>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 &lt;a href="http://www.wiredjournalists.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;Wired Journalists&lt;/a&gt; and other blogs/sites. 

Posting links on Twitter also helps drives traffic.</description>
