If you want to know who’s Googling you, you can also register with a website like WikiWorldBook, which is a totally free People Search engine with Global Address Book.

Essentially, the service enables you to create a profile which is easily found by anyone looking for you using Google or another search engine. You are sent a Search Alert email if someone Googles you and clicks through to your profile. You should be able to see the geographical location of the searcher, their IP address, what business or organization they are at if that’s where they are based, the actual search engine and the keywords used to find you. You can see a screenshot here:-

Members can also be easily contacted by old friends without themselves being registered via the website’s messaging system. The member’s own email contact details are hidden, so they don’t risk it being seen by spammers and the spam-free messages are forwarded to the member by email. People sending messages don’t have to be registered, so old friends and colleagues can get in touch easily.
