Google.

Okay, I just typed in my name on google to see what kind of results would turn up and I didn't like what I saw. So is there anyway to block google from showing anything about me if someone searches my name? Cause it's really making me mad, I don't want these stupid morons where I live looking me up. I deleted all of my social networking stuff to make it look like I don't exist but stupid google has a ton of results on me.

There's not much you can do. That's why you have to be careful what you put out there.

They shouldn't be able to show results for people unless they are doctors or something like that. Ugh, I am so angry. Is there ANYTHING I can do. Like delete certain pages?

[Adio]

The only thing you can do (that I know of) is to delete or alter the pages that have your information.  If you have no control over that website, webpage, profile, etc., then I don't think you can do much about it.

Like there is results on there from where I've posted here and their are a certain few people who I don't want to know what I am so is their someone I can contact here about having that stuff removed?

You can go through your history (go to your profile then click your posts) and individually remove your posts, I think they would not mind that but it could take a while if you have a lot of posts to remove.

Aside from deleting as much of the stuff as you can yourself, you can also try burying the pages deep in the google results, so they show up pages and pages into the Google results (further than most people bother to dig) instead of on the front page / first few pages. Basically, you just overwhelm the results with random, useless information by making hundreds of pages that mention your name (and nothing else that's useful or personal about you) and somehow get those pages to rank on Google higher than the pages that mention you currently (there are several ways to do this; look up "SEO" on Wikipedia). You can hire people to do this for you, too, if it really is that much of a problem.

Not to be prying, but where exactly have you put your personal information up on the web? A lot of the search sites, like Spokeo at least, gather information from social networking BS and job applications, things like that. I don't know about the job apps, or anything like that, but as far as things like Facebook go, if someone puts that out there, it's free game for anyone.

I was trying to help my boyfriend get back in contact with his younger brother, through Spokeo, and found someone else with the same name. Without paying, we got their phone number, street address, age, marital status, all sorts of information. Paying? You get practically everything.

Case in point, don't put your personal information up on the internet unless it's absolutely secure. Which nothing really ever is.

I made a big ->-bleeped-<- up when I changed my name. In Ontario, you can refuse to have the government publish your name change in their public system for those undergoing transition, and I forgot to tick it off. So if you Google my old name it takes about two minutes to find my little switch. So FYI, make sure you read all the fine print when changing your name. I only forgot because I kept screwing up on the first form I printed and had to print a new one, on which I forgot to check the box... lame.

Always remember that anything you put on the internet is permanent. Even if you delete it, there will always be archives, copies and backups of your content elsewhere.
