Manage your online identity.

Gareth Hannaford writes some very simple, useful advice for keeping his ClaimID page at the top of his search engine results.

I’ve been watching how my ClaimID page stays in the Goggle top ten - it needs updating now and again or it drops off. The first ten are all about me. A result of webweb (better than web2.0?) use and posting in forums.

Gareth is right - search engines look for recent activity to judge a page as fresh and relevant.  Think about blogs or wikipedia - they are constantly updated so search engines love them.  If you update your ClaimID page every once in a while, search engines will know it is fresh, relevant and likely rank it higher.  Of course, this tip pertains to any page you wish to have ranked higher, so thanks to Gareth for sharing!
