Everyone should do this for different reasons.  If you are looking for a job you really should do it because chances are that your prospective employer is going to.  If there is anything negative you can try to remove it or if it is not in your control you can probably manipulate the ranking and make it show up several pages into a search.

If you want to have an online presence, for a business or something, then you want to rank as high as possible so people can find you.  Same with a screen name.

I have many times lol. Back in the day I would find out crazy things like gossip from people's myspace. I also have a unique name so when I see my name 99.9 % of the time, I know it's me.

Oddly enough I also share my name with and astronaut who has been in space...in seventh grade we saw him in a video so my science teacher sent him a letter telling him we shared a name and he wrote me a letter and sent me a nasa patch.

Yeah, and since I have a common first AND last name, I have to go down several pages to find anything about me. I share my name with a comedian and a Miss Alabama winner.

I've googled my name and found a couple people with my same name.  I'm glad that there isn't anything about me specifically that you can associate with me if you knew me personally.

Yeah....Nothing Came Up Though.

But If You Know Someone That Has Been In A-Lot Of Trouble Or Something Then You Can Google There Name And More Than Likely Something Will Come Up.
