Earlier this month Google launched their profile pages and partnered with iPrint.com to offer free Google Profile business cards to the first 10,000 people to claim them. The promotion included 25 cards that feature the Google.com home page with your name in the search box and the address for your Google profile printed in green.
With a Google profile you can help people find the right information when they search for you on Google. You can check out my Google profile here. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the photo and bio section but I’m happy so far with the progress.
Thanks to Google and iPrint for the awesome promotion, I can’t wait to hand these out at Interactive Day San Diego next month on June 18, 2009. Discounts are also available for Ad2 members and students. You can register for the event here.
If you’ve already created your Google profile, feel free to post a link in the comments. I’m looking for some inspiration. š

Thanks for writing this. I love google profiles because I can use my business cards to introduce potential clients to my entire portal. It really has worked as an online resume of sorts. I can also give it to friends and they have a one-stop-shop to find me on the Web. Love it!

I also have my own set. This also makes you monitor your google results more often to make sure the top results actually go to you. š
That’s very true. Although, to be honest, when I Google myself – my blog actually ranks higher in the search results versus my Google profile. š
By the way, I just saw your blog redesign. It looks great! Good job.
Thanks Stephanie. I think the profile is meant to be at the bottom of the search results. That’s where mine shows up, as well as video results as well.

Yeah, you’re right about the placement. I’ve seen the same placement for other folks as well.
