Although my brother's business is doing very well (it has nothing to do with the translation business I might add) there is a well known writer with the identical name as his and when I tried Googling my brother, I only got results for the writer.
It wasn't until I typed in the name of his business did I find him!
And my brother knows a lot about IT. He bought his first computer back in the 70s, paying back the money our mother had lent him to buy it by delivering newspapers before going to school!

My name is extremely common - which I like.
If I choose the option with 'oversætter' - the Danish word for translator - after my name, not just the name alone, most of the references are to me.
Good luck with the thesis!

I do the same as Christine, putting "translator" into a search with my name.
I'm not sure how useful the results will be, Karol, since it depends so much on how common our names are.

Thank you very much for completing the survey - I've got more than 130 responses, you've been very helpful!
As promised, I will send my thesis to you as soon as it is finished - probably in February.

Same here. I would have been happy to complete the survey, but apparently the time to do so was quite limited.

I suggest you to register everywhere NOT as domenico but (as an example) as Mimmo or other Nick you like so... you will be unique= Mimmo Trimboli or Dome Trimboli (just for the Internet).
