Buyers Agent Portland - YOUR Exclusive Buyers Agent: Who Are YOU? . . . and What is Your Image Doing With Mine??

Who Are YOU? . . . and What is Your Image Doing With Mine??

For some reason, I GOOGLED myself today . . . but instead of looking at the websites, etc., I clicked "Images."

"Carla Muss-Jacobs"

For the most part, I loved the order of the images . . . and I'm TOTALLY happy about my First Amendment rating "E" for Everyone image.  (That's found on my Active Rain Profile page).

A lot of the images are from my blogs, and the photos I took, and pics of me . . . (aghh). 

Virgo & Pisces, for example, is a nice Active Rain Localism feature I did.  Seeing this made sense.

 

I have no idea how the order is calculated, or what image gets Google Juiced to tag along with my name.  But, it's kinda fun to see old posts, people.  I have a unique name.  I doubt there's another "Carla Muss-Jacobs" so it's a good image search.

So far my name is associated with the following images (among others):  Kermit the Frog, Corona Beer, Virgo & Pisces, a map of Florida, Judi Bennett, Pangea, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Betty Boop, Candice's "Feed Your Head" logo, C Tann-Star's original artwork,  a lot of TASTY looking food, drug paraphernalia, a few Broker Byrant pics, Rep. Joe Wilson, Nicholas Cage's house for sale in Beverly Hills, Richard Wesser . . . and there's a TON OF PEOPLE, PLACES and THINGS . . . which I have no clue who they are, and how they got under my image.

Maybe I commented on their blog posts?  Maybe they commented on mine? It's weird.

  • VERY FUN too!  Fun to see what GOOGLE IMAGES are showing up under my name.

 

  • GOOGLE your name (with quotes) and see who comes up in your images!

Carla - My name is so common, a million Michelle Gibson's pop up.  I wonder why certain people are associated with your name, hmmm.

Posted by Michelle Gibson REALTORĀ® Wellington Florida Homes for Sale (Hansen Real Estate Group Inc. ) over 2 years ago

This sounds like fun; I am sure my name will come up with a bunch of artwork about the sea.  I am going to give it a try.

Posted by Art Marine (Academy Mortgage) over 2 years ago

Hi Michelle -- Yeah, it's difficult for John Smith's . . . and Michelle Gibson.  If you're married, maybe hyphenate with your maiden name and TOTALLY mess up your last name, like I did.  It'll be unique that way ;-)

Hey Art . . . let us know what you find!  HA HA HA  Good take.  I just Googled "Art Marine" and there was some really lovely art work.  You were right.

Hey Carla - this is very cool.  I never thought of doing this.  I"m off to see what crazy stuff pops up!

Hi Anna B. -- I took this blog from the Diary of a Realtor group, and posted to yours; Banana Tude.  Talk about "never thought of doing that" moments -- D'OH!!  :-)

Alas, mine was kinda boring since I have an unusual name and I use the word 'image' in a lot of my posts. Mostly just various blog posts.

Posted by Julia Odom, Chattanooga Homes for Sale (Select Realty Professionals) over 2 years ago

Do you think those people are popping up because they "illegally" got hold your images and used them?  Interesting!

Posted by Jane Peters - Los Angeles Real Estate DRE# 01439865 (Power Brokers Int'l) over 2 years ago

Mine came up with my photos, and some cats, and June Piper Brandon from here on AR.  I'd never thought to check this out....thanks for sharing!  That was fun!

Posted by Lina Robertson Jones, REALTORĀ® Springfield MO Area Homes for Sale (Ozark, Nixa, Republic & Willard Real Estate) over 2 years ago

Hi Carla ~ I'm off to check but first wanted to say that I love your new picture!

Liz

Ok - that was fun.  It's great to see all those other Elizabeth Boltons whose name pops up on google - great to put a face with my name! There was the rabbi, the doctor, the teenager, even the EB of the 1800s. And I was on the second row - me - plus a bunch of my blog photos.

Posted by Elizabeth Bolton - Cambridge MA Real Estate Agent (Coldwell Banker Cambridge, Massachusetts) over 2 years ago

I did it... and it was interesting.  I saw some pictures I posted on sites, that I totally forgot about!

Oh, this is too cool! Let's see what we can do with this ... it's fun!

Carla - I haven't tried this in awhile.  I need to check it out - sounds like fun!

Hi Julia -- Your last name is unique, so I Googled your images -- funny!

Hey Jane . . . Yes, that's it!!  That sneak Nick Cage used my name for the sale of his multi-million dollar mansion . . . LOL ;0

Now I've got to Google you Lina . . .

Hi Elizabeth -- you're not off the GRID yet?!?  :-)

Hi Georgina ... the same with me.  I saw pics from posts I had forgotten about!

 

Posted by Carla Muss-Jacobs - Exclusive Buyers Agent Portland | Portland Real Estate | (503-810-7192 | BuyersAgentPortland.com) over 2 years ago

THANKS RICHARD!  I'm going to GOOGLE you, and see if I show up.  Thanks for the feature!

Hey Jason . . . I've got to look at your GOOGLE images -- ;-)

 

Posted by Carla Muss-Jacobs - Exclusive Buyers Agent Portland | Portland Real Estate | (503-810-7192 | BuyersAgentPortland.com) over 2 years ago

Richard -- all your nice photographs are showing up -- LOVELY!!

Posted by Carla Muss-Jacobs - Exclusive Buyers Agent Portland | Portland Real Estate | (503-810-7192 | BuyersAgentPortland.com) over 2 years ago

It's always neat to see what pops up on searches that you don't expect. All I know is that anytime you have Kermit the Frog, a handful of rainers, Corona, and the Mad Hatter all in the same bunch, it's going to be a long night.

Posted by JL Boney, III Columbia, SC Real Estate (Russell and Jeffcoat) over 2 years ago

Hey JL -- You sure have a GREAT ability to put all this in a proper perspective!!   Thanks!! ;-)

Posted by Carla Muss-Jacobs - Exclusive Buyers Agent Portland | Portland Real Estate | (503-810-7192 | BuyersAgentPortland.com) over 2 years ago

Along with all the images I've created while blogging, I'm associated with a now deceased chef who seems to still have more Google juice than me!

 

Posted by Craig Rutman Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area Realtor (Helping people in transition) over 2 years ago

Too funny Craig!   I'm going to have to GOOGLE you now, and see the dearly departed.  And BTW -- your photos are HILARIOUS!

Posted by Carla Muss-Jacobs - Exclusive Buyers Agent Portland | Portland Real Estate | (503-810-7192 | BuyersAgentPortland.com) over 2 years ago

That was interesting.  At least all the other "Dianne Bartletts" are pretty straight-laced.  One of them is even a nun!  The rest of the images were pictures of my listings.

Posted by Dianne Bartlett (Keller Williams) over 2 years ago

Hey Dianne -- a nun!  Sister Dianne??  ;-)

Cute!  My NINJA coach searched my name in front of the class one day and there were all sorts of images that I had no idea how I became associated with them--I'd never even SEEN them before!  I forgot to go back and check it out but, thanks for the reminder to do that!!

Have a great Sunday...

Posted by Debe Maxwell - Search Charlotte Homes for Sale - Charlotte NC Neighborhoods (iCharlotteRealEstate.com Savvy + Company Real Estate) over 2 years ago

I've done this before and it is really fun to see the off-the-wall images that come up along side the ones taht make perfect sense...

Posted by Janna Rankin Scharf (Keller Williams Realty Coeur d'Alene) over 2 years ago

Carla, I've done the same, and I get photos I've added to my localism posts, as well as photos associated with comments I made on other posts.  I also get things that have nothing to do with me. :)

 

Posted by Sylvie Conde, Broker | Toronto Real Estate (Sutton Group-Associates Realty Inc., Brokerage) over 2 years ago

I just looked at mine...interesting. I think it is because we've commented or something. In any case..what a bunch there were!

Posted by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman, RA, CRS, HAWAII Real Estate & Relocations (Century 21 Liberty Homes) over 2 years ago

Hi Debe . . . that's cool your NINJA suggested this.  My Sunday was great -- saw Where the Wild Things Are.

Hey Janna -- well stated!

Howdy Sylvie . . . do the moosealo show up?  ;-)

Posted by Carla Muss-Jacobs - Exclusive Buyers Agent Portland | Portland Real Estate | (503-810-7192 | BuyersAgentPortland.com) over 2 years ago

Aloha Sally!  I'm going to look yours up, just for grins and giggles.

Posted by Carla Muss-Jacobs - Exclusive Buyers Agent Portland | Portland Real Estate | (503-810-7192 | BuyersAgentPortland.com) over 2 years ago

Carla,

That is too funny! I never thought to click on "images" when I Google things/people unless I'm looking for an image. I'll have to check it out!

Your friend in the Cosmic Cow Pie.

Posted by Carra Riley CRB, CRS, GRI (Author, Speaker, Consultant, Second Homes AZ LLC) over 2 years ago

I tried my name and many of my photos came up, but then there were several photos with a Sharon and a Tara in them...to be expected!

Posted by Sharon Tara New Hampshire Home Stager (Sharon Tara Transformations) over 2 years ago

Hey Carra -- Your name is pretty unique.  I think I'll GOOGLE you ;-)

Hi Sharon . . . sometimes if you use "name" quotes you can get a defined search.  I don't know why I do it, but sometimes it's just fun!

Posted by Carla Muss-Jacobs - Exclusive Buyers Agent Portland | Portland Real Estate | (503-810-7192 | BuyersAgentPortland.com) over 2 years ago

I will have to check this out.  I haven't tried to do that yet.  Glad it was all good pictures for you and no porn.  ROFL!
