Your name for a keyword?

[Ryan Ward]

My site is only a couple of weeks old so I figure ppc at least for now. I have selected some keywords and I am reading through the threads here. I though about my name as a keyword, and wondered if there might be some success with it.

You are already #1 on google for "ryan ward Atlanta" Why would you want to pay for it?

I think that's new. I didn't see that yesterday. Some results in G already. Nothing that will drive traffic to my site yet.

Most people can get their name to the top very easily & pretty quickly, unless it's a really common name. So there is no need to pay for your name. If people actually do use it to search (& I've noticed some do), they will find your site(s) with the organic search.

Give it time and they will come. I get more calls than I want these days. I'm trying to make my site so informative that it will educate the buyers well enough that all they have to do is tell me which house they want and how much they want to pay for it.
