In a previous post, we have blogged how to manage your online presence with the help of Google Docs and Yahoo Pipes. But, it requires:-

1. You already have an online presence

2. You are familiar with RSS, how to use Google docs and how to mash up and filter Yahoo Pipes.

But, considering a novice user who has no/less online visibility, who just begun their online life; upon Googling their name shows irrelevant entries. So, for them some options available are:-

1. Create a blog, put up site tracking software and submit it to Various Search Engines and WAIT…

2. Sign up for social networking sites where profiles are listed in Google.

While 1 is lengthy process and it require some knowledge about Analytics tools and takes time to build credibility, 2 has a shortcoming that though your profile gets listed on Search engines, you can’t keep a track of how a visitor landed onto your profile page, demographics details and what was he looking for.

As an alternate, there is a free service available called “LookupPage” which gets you a trackable online visibility easily which you can tweak so that people find accurate information when they search your name on the web,

Here are three simple steps for getting your name on Google with LookupPage:
