如果您曾经用Google 搜索(Google)过自己的名字，您可能已经注意到人们可以在很多地方在线找到有关您的信息。这些来源包括Google本身、LinkedIn、Twitter、Facebook等。
你怎么知道谁在网上找你？幸运的是，这些资源中的大多数都有监控服务，当有人搜索你的名字时，你可以使用它来获取警报。
当人们使用互联网查找您的姓名时，您可以执行以下非常简单的操作来设置警报或以其他方式监控。
LinkedIn , Twitter , Google Alerts , Google Analytics (在一个有你名字/域名的网站上), Facebook Stories , Facebook好友列表算法(list algorithm)
1.LinkedIn个人资料视图
人们可以在LinkedIn(LinkedIn)中搜索您的姓名，或者他们可以使用Google 发现您的个人资料并通过这种方式访问(Google and access)您的公开个人资料信息(profile information)。
LinkedIn让会员可以轻松查看谁查看了您的个人资料。
要查看此信息，请登录您的LinkedIn 帐户(LinkedIn account)。在屏幕左侧
的个人资料名称下方，您会看到一个名为(profile name)“谁查看了您的个人资料”的(Who’s viewed your profile)链接。
在链接的右侧，您可以看到最近有多少人查看了您的个人资料。要查看更多详细信息，请单击链接。
向下滚动到所有个人资料查看者(All profile viewers)部分。在这里，您将看到有关最近查看您的LinkedIn 帐户(LinkedIn Account)的人的一些详细信息。
这些信息包括：
- 姓名
- 他们在什么公司工作
- 他们如何找到您的个人资料
- (Which)您的哪些LinkedIn连接也与该人相关
- 他们多久前查看了您的个人资料
不幸的是，如果不购买高级 LinkedIn 会员资格，您将无法查看查看过您的个人资料的完整人员列表。(entire)
如果您确实需要知道谁在查看您的LinkedIn 个人资料(LinkedIn profile)，那么高级会员资格(premium membership)可能是值得的。
2.为您的姓名创建 Google 快讯(Create Google Alerts)
人们用来在 Internet 上查找有关您的信息的最常用工具是Google。虽然您可能无法监控谁在使用Google搜索您的姓名，但您可以(can)
监控何时在 Internet 上以您的姓名发布了新信息。
要在任何提及您的名字的内容发布时创建提醒，请访问Google 提醒(Google Alerts)。
确保(Make sure)您已经登录到您的Google 帐户(Google Account)。在Create an alert about字段中，输入您的姓名并选择Create Alert。
每当您将任何内容添加到您的Google 快讯列表中(Google Alert list)或任何时候Google为包含您的姓名的网站提供新的搜索条目(search entry)时，您都会收到一封关于该google 快讯(google alert)的电子邮件。此电子邮件将包含指向提及您姓名的网站的链接。
您会注意到在电子邮件的底部，您可以单击一个链接以接收作为RSS 提要(RSS feed)的警报。这将使您可以将提要添加到您可能使用的任何类型的提要阅读器中。(feed reader)
3. Facebook 故事观众
Facebook用户最常见的请求之一是查看谁查看了他们的Facebook 个人资料(Facebook profile)。不幸的是，没有办法做到这一点。但是，在Facebook的某些区域中
，您可以(can)看到访问过的人。
如果您定期
发布 Facebook 帖子(Facebook post)，那么了解谁查看了您的帖子的唯一方法就是有多少人“喜欢”了帖子本身。现在有办法真正看到看过它的每一位朋友。
但是，当您添加到Facebook Stories时，情况并非如此。如果您选择该字段来输入
Facebook 帖子(Facebook post)，您会注意到您可以将帖子从动态消息(News Feed)切换
到您的故事(Your Story)。
您最多可以将 20 秒的视频（或图片）发布到您的Facebook 故事(Facebook Story)。该帖子将在消失前保持活跃 24 小时。
发布到Story后，您会注意到帖子左下角出现一个眼睛图标，旁边有一个数字。(eye icon)该数字代表您查看帖子的朋友的数量。如果您单击眼球图标(eyeball icon)，您可以看到查看过帖子的特定朋友。
如果您查看 Facebook 新闻提要，您可以在右侧看到指向 Your Story的链接。在此左侧，您会看到带有+符号的个人资料照片。如果单击此按钮，您可以查看所有最近的故事帖子，以及您的哪些朋友查看了这些帖子。
遗憾的是
Facebook没有为常规帖子提供(t offer)此功能，但至少当您发布到您的故事列表(Story list)时，您可以看到所有查看过帖子的朋友。
4. Facebook 好友算法
虽然无法查看查看过您的特定Facebook帖子的朋友列表，但可以通过间接方式查看哪些朋友与您的Facebook 个人资料(Facebook profile)互动次数最多。
没有人真正知道 Facebook 算法的具体细节，即他们在您的朋友列表中显示朋友的顺序。
但是已经进行了足够的研究，以知道以下所有因素都被考虑在内。
- Facebook 互动(Facebook Interactions)：您在Facebook 上(Facebook)与这些朋友互动的频率。
- 个人资料查看次数(Profile Views)：这些朋友查看您的个人资料或您查看他们的个人资料的频率。
- 照片标记(Photo Tagging)：在照片中标记您的朋友。
- 墙贴(Wall Posts)：最近在您的墙上发帖的朋友。
- 喜欢(Likes)：朋友喜欢您的帖子或您喜欢他们的帖子的频率。
- 评论(Commenting)：您或朋友对彼此的帖子或图片发表评论的频率。
- 照片(Photos)：你们查看彼此照片的频率。
- 在线(Online)：如果朋友当前在线，他们更有可能出现在您的朋友列表的顶部。
由于Facebook 上(Facebook)最常见的活动是在不与他们互动的情况下查看朋友的个人资料和帖子，因此您朋友列表顶部的朋友很有可能是最常查看您的个人资料和帖子的朋友。
5. 推特观众
(Twitter)与Facebook(Facebook)
相比， Twitter提供了更多关于您的Twitter关注者的信息，但仍然没有提供在那里寻找您的人的姓名。
但是，您可以了解很多与您的推文互动的人的信息。
要查看您的受众信息(audience information)，您需要使用Twitter
分析(Analytics)。您可以通过单击个人资料名称旁边的向下箭头并选择Analytics来访问它。
此页面将向您展示您的主要关注者是谁，以及您所有推文的总体表现。
您可以单击查看(View)关注者仪表板来查看有关您的Twitter 受众(Twitter audience)的一般详细信息。
您可以查看关注者的性别、家庭收入和兴趣等人口统计数据。这可能不会告诉你在Twitter 上(Twitter)寻找你的人的名字，但它至少会告诉你他们的兴趣，这样你就可以为你的关注者定制你发推文的主题。
6.使用Google Analytics创建个人资料站点(Profile Site)
多亏了像Google 网站的(Google Sites)WordPress这样的博客平台，您可以很容易地建立自己的个人资料网站，其中包含有关您的背景和经验(background and experience)的信息。个人资料网站是与潜在雇主轻松分享您的背景和职业经验的绝佳方式。(background and career experience)
如果您为您的名字购买了网站域名，那么当人们搜索您的名字时，它也会成为热门搜索结果。(search result)
这将成为大多数人在网上寻找您时可能会点击的网站。
如果您将 Google Analytics嵌入到此站点中，您可以收集大量关于在网络上寻找您信息的人的信息。
Google Analytics可能不会提供访问您网站的人的姓名，但您几乎可以了解其他任何信息。例如，
谷歌分析(Google Analytics)将提供：
此信息可以让您深入了解在线搜索您的人的类型。如果您是作家或从事向人们提供信息的任何其他企业，这些信息可以帮助您根据正在寻找您作品的人的人口统计数据来调整您的作品。
谁在找你？
如您所见，LinkedIn和其他社交媒体网站是具体查看谁在网上搜索您的最佳方式。但 Google 快讯和您的网站也可以提供更多见解。您采用哪种方法(Which approach)取决于您想了解的有关这些人的信息类型。
6 Easy Ways to Find Out Who’s Looking for You Online
If you’ve ever Googled your own name, you may have noticed
thаt there are a lot of places where people can find information about you
online. These sources include Google itself, LinkedIn, Τwitter, Facebook, and
more.
How do you find out who’s looking for you online? Luckily,
most of those resources have monitoring services you can use to get alerts
whenever someone searches for your name.
The following are very simple things you can do to set up
alerts or otherwise monitor when people look up your name using the internet.
LinkedIn, Twitter, Google Alerts, Google Analytics (on a
site with your name/domain), Facebook Stories, Facebook friend list algorithm
1. LinkedIn Profile Views
People can search for your name from inside LinkedIn, or they can discover your profile using Google and access your public profile information that way.
LinkedIn gives members an easy way to see who viewed your
profile.
To see this information, log into your LinkedIn account.
Under your profile name on the left side of the screen, you’ll see a link named
Who’s viewed your profile.
To the right of the link, you can see how many people have
recently viewed your profile. To see more details, click on the link.
Scroll down to the All profile viewers section. Here
you’ll see some details about who recently viewed your LinkedIn Account.
This information includes:
- Name
- What company they work for
- How they found your profile
- Which of your LinkedIn connections are also
connected with that person
- How long ago they viewed your profile
Unfortunately, you can’t see the entire list of
people who’ve viewed your profile without purchasing a Premium LinkedIn
membership.
If you do need to know who’s viewing your LinkedIn profile, that premium membership may be worth it.
2. Create Google Alerts for Your Name
The most common tool people
will use to look for information about you on the internet is Google. While you
may not be able to monitor who’s searching for your name using Google, you can
monitor when new information is published with your name on the internet.
To create an alert for when anything gets published mentioning your name, visit Google Alerts.
Make sure you’re already logged into your Google Account. In the Create an alert about field, type your name and select Create Alert.
Whenever you add anything to your Google Alert list or any time Google has a new search entry for a website that contains your name, you’ll receive an email for that google alert. This email will include links to the websites that have mentioned your name.
You’ll notice that the bottom
of the email, you can click a link to receive the alerts as an RSS feed. This
would let you add the feed to any kind of feed reader you may use.
3. Facebook Story Viewers
One of the most common
requests Facebook users have is to see who viewed their Facebook profile.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to do that. However, there are areas of Facebook
where you can see the people who’ve visited.
If you make a regular
Facebook post, the only way to know who viewed your post is how many people
have “liked” the post itself. There’s now way to actually see every one of your
friends who looked at it.
However, that’s not the case
when you add to your Facebook Stories. If you select the field to enter a
Facebook post, you’ll notice that you can switch the post from News Feed
to Your Story.
You can post up to 20 seconds
of video (or an image) to your Facebook Story. The post will remain active for
24 hours before disappearing.
Once you post to your Story,
you’ll notice an eye icon show up in the lower left corner of the post with a
number next to it. The number represents the number of your friends who’ve
viewed the post. If you click on the eyeball icon, you can see your specific
friends who’ve viewed the post.
If you view your Facebook
news feed, to the right you can see a link to Your Story. To the left of this,
you’ll see your profile photo with a + symbol. If you click this, you
can view all your recent story posts, and which of your friends have viewed
those posts.
It’s unfortunate that
Facebook doesn’t offer this feature for regular posts, but at least when you
post to your Story list, you can see all of your friends who’ve viewed the
post.
4. Facebook Friends Algorithm
While it isn’t possible to see a list of friends who’ve
viewed your specific Facebook posts, there is an indirect way to see which
friends have been interacting the most with your Facebook profile.
No one really knows the specific details of Facebook’s algorithm for the order they display the friends in your friends’ list.
But there has been enough research conducted to know that
the all the following factors are considered.
- Facebook Interactions: How frequently
you’ve interacted with those friends on Facebook.
- Profile Views: How frequently those
friends have viewed your profile, or you viewed theirs.
- Photo Tagging: Friends that have tagged
you in photos.
- Wall Posts: Friends who’ve posted
recently on your wall.
- Likes: How often friends have liked your posts,
or you’ve liked theirs.
- Commenting: Frequency you or friends have
commented on each other’s posts or pictures.
- Photos: How often you’ve viewed each
other’s pictures.
- Online: If friends are currently online,
they’re more likely to show up at the top of your friends list.
Since the most common activity on Facebook is viewing
friends’ profiles and posts without interacting with them, the odds are good
that the friends at the top of your friends list are the friends who’ve been
viewing your profile and your posts most frequently.
5. Twitter Viewers
Twitter provides a bit more information about your Twitter
followers than Facebook does, but still doesn’t provide the names of the people
who are looking for you there.
However, you can learn a lot about the people who are
interacting with your Tweets.
To see your audience information, you’ll need to use Twitter
Analytics. You can access this by clicking the down arrow beside your profile
name and selecting Analytics.
This page will show you who your top follower is, and the
general performance of all your tweets.
You can click the View followers dashboard to view general
details about your Twitter audience.
You can see demographics like gender, household income, and
interests of your followers. This may not tell you the names of people looking
for you on Twitter, but it at least tells you their interests so you can tailor
the topics you tweet about for your followers.
6. Create a Profile Site with Google Analytics
Thanks to blogging platforms like WordPress of Google Sites, it’s very easy to build your own profile website filled with information about your background and experience. A profile website is a fantastic way to easily share your background and career experience with potential employers.
In time it’ll also become a top search result when people
search for your name if you’ve purchased a website domain for your name.
This will become a likely website most people will click on
when they’re looking for you online.
If you embed Google Analytics into this site, you can gather
a lot of information about the people who are looking for information about you
on the web.
Google Analytics may not provide the names of the people who
visit your site, but you can learn just about anything else. For example,
Google Analytics will provide:
- Age
- Gender
- Country
- Interests
- Frequency of visits
- Search terms used
This information can give you some insight into the type of
people who are searching for you online. If you’re a writer or in any other
business where you provide information to people, this information can help you
tailor your work toward the demographics of the people who are looking for your
work.
Who’s
Looking for You?
As you can see, LinkedIn and other social media sites are
the best ways to see specifically who’s searching for you online. But Google
Alerts and your site can provide even more insights as well. Which approach you
take depends on what kind of information about those people you want to know.
