Your profile on the ‘web’
As we understand, that the internet is very vast. People connect worldwide and want an individual identification on internet. We all know that for a long time now, people have been using unique email addresses, which is easy, non technical, and makes a lot of sense too. But now the time has changed. In today’s scenario, one question arises, ‘Why would people contact you?’.
In the case that a person wants to send you a message, or have a discussion or just have friendly chatting, or may be a person wants to work with you, they use available mediums(emails, chat apps, community websites, professional comm. websites, etc).
But if only a person has your email address or similar such ids, only then he/she may contact you.
The second case is if a person does not have your email address or your link to community websites, he/she will not contact you. Now, under these circumstances, one more question arises - ‘How can people contact you?’.
There is a better way, people using the internet can contact you without knowing your email address, if your name is popular on internet. Anyone can find you on internet by using a search engine.
Take this example. I’m not a celebrity and do not have a unique name. You might be looking for someone else name Vishwajeet Bose, but you will find me. Just click this link:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=vishwajeet+bose&aq=0p&aqi=g-p1&oq=vishwajeet+b&fp=e8d6ef47431c6a4a

Type your name in a search engine, and your description is displayed within different websites. Here again one question ‘How can this happen?’.
There are different ways to execute this.
Either you can post blogs, create a website display with your description or create a profile on social networking sites or professional networking websites. Easier is to create profiles on different social networking sites and actually use them once in a while. You personal SEO.

This is a very effective way to show your work and profile on internet and gain recognition in search engine rankings. Your full description, which you want to display on your cv, biodata or in portfolio should be in the profile of these sites. The better explained the profile is, the more popular it is with search engines.
On the world wide web, your profile may be viewed by different people. With such SEO work done on your profile, opportunities will not be missed.
If you want tips on your personal SEO, and recognition, and want help with standing out, I’ll be glad to help you out. You can mail me on :
