Boost your Google ranking

You might notice that the ZDNet UK edit staff are using their full, real names as usernames here. There's two reasons for this: first, so you know who we are and can find us; and second, because ZDNet UK tends to have high Google rankings - once your name appears on our site you tend to rise quickly up the Google search pages.

Of course you may remain anonymous if you wish, but if you want a high ranking on Google then we'd suggest you use your real name. Now this is not an invitation to post ads here or links to ads. That would be against our Ts&Cs, so don't do it!

Update [03 Nov 2006]: Our operations director Mike Barrett, who until this week you would not find on Google, has been testing this. Read the results here, or see them here.
