    Absolutely true. I get a small amount of traffic every day on my name both directly and from search and I often hear from people that I’m working with that they’ve checked out my blog.

    It really is a reputation solidifier.

    I’ve bought the .coms for my friends and family in case they ever want to develop similarly.

  5. 5 ColinPape.com

    Thanks for including me in the list Sahar - it was unexpected but is greatly appreciated…

    Figured I better practice what I preach, so I started using the URL instead of my ‘regular’ name… Wouldn’t want people to confuse me with Colin Pape the fly fishing instructor (www.colinpapeflyfishing.co.uk), the army colonel (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/devon/4102399.stm) or the anti-war protestor (http://www.cavalierdaily.com/CVArticle.asp?ID=15608&pid=994)… :)

    Funny, I just published this article that actually makes the same point in a different field:

    In my off-line world, I refer to my blog as ViksMarketingBlog.com

    In the on-line world, I sign my comments with PersonalBrandMarketing.com

    And both lead into my podBlog at VikramRajan.com

    I just found out about GoDaddy’s marketing campaign to give .com names as baby gifts… I love it.

    Back in school, I was made fun of cuz of my name… go figure, my parents were futuristic! I’m happy this will encourage more unique names in the world: Every culture, I’ve found, gets boring with their kid naming.
