So I have always known there are a lot of Steven Hansens in the world. I have started to talk a lot more just about my name in this blog to make sure it is clear that I am one of the top Steven Hansen’s on the internet.

Thanks to a recent search I found from whitepages, there are at least 688 Steven Hansens in the United States. And I imagine that is just the ones that have listed phone numbers. (click the image to enlarge)

Google currently reports 25,700 listings when you search for “Steven Hansen” with the quotations, meaning that only counts pages with Steven Hansen in that order and not pages that just happen to have Steven and Hansen on the same page.

There are 403 Steven Hansen users currently registered with LinkedIn. There are over 500 Steven Hansen users on Facebook. And intelius found 432 of us.

It is not that Steven Hansen is a widely sought after keyword or anything. It is the simple fact that there are thousands of Steven Hansens all over the world. I can’t go to a doctor without having to give my exact address or phone number, since they have more then one person in their database with my same exact first and last name. So on the web when you search for my name you get a Steven Hansen that is an attorney, a Steven Hansen who was part of a movie, a Steven Hansen that is part of a band, and more recently, you get a Steven Hansen that is the Owner of the Spatical Company and actually refers to this website! Hooray! I have moved up in the rankings to a findable first page listing.

I guess it wasn’t very hard. Since the competition wasn’t really high, I simply needed to start optimizing for my name and bingo it is done. Now maybe if I ever do get famous, I’ll already own the top spots for my name.
