<p>why is it when I google my screename Delfire, the current pages of collegeconfidential pops up? Or the pages containing my screename?</p>
<p>Do you guys register individual collegeconfidential sites (i.e. Columbia board) onto Google? If so, why?</p>
<p>"Why?"</p>
<p>I have found out about College Confidential while doing a search in Google on BS/MD program. After that, i got hooked, but gained mountains of knowledge on many colleges, SAT/ACT preparations, applying to colleges....ah, the list goes on and on. And, I owe it all to CC for registering individual CC sites onto google...</p>
<p>this is how i found cc in the first place... i googled something about a school and cc popped up..</p>
<p>thanks cc</p>
<p>Actually, Google mostly does its own thing - they will spider everything in sight and put it in their index. They claim to have over 8 billion pages indexed now. (That's a good reason to be cautious in what you post, or in what you allow others to post - not just at CC, but everywhere. If it's on the web, Google will eventually vacuum it up.)</p>
<p>Thanks for the kind comments, chicagonobel, and you are welcome, silver_wavez. :)</p>
<p>it's so creepy, i can google my email address and it shows up random places</p>
<p>i dislike that</p>
<p>Folks, what babybird said is why it's a good idea to be careful about where you post. It's possible for potential employers, potential suitors and for college admissions officers to Google you. I have heard of people who didn't get jobs or dates due to things they had posted on on-line boards. There probably also are people who ended up in jail because of such postings.</p>
<p>"Anonymous" posting is not "anonymous."</p>
<p>much agreed. i'm never giving out my sn to anyone i know ever again, lol</p>
<p>Wow, I made this thread more than two weeks ago, but meh for reviving it.</p>
<p>"and for college admissions officers to Google you"
Can this work in your favor? I mean, does college adcom actually have TIME to check online posts? LoL.</p>
