What is your online image? Do you know?

EmilyMedvec_SantaFe_Realtor

In a recent review of Facebook’s own stats, I learned 250 million images were uploaded on Facebook daily with a record of 750 million images uploaded on the recent New Year’s weekend. Many real estate bloggers know about how to manage their real estate business online including how to track their online reputation. However, not all Realtor® and agents are bloggers. Many are clueless about even how their picture is online and how they appear online to future prospects, customers and current clients. And then there is the general public. How many people know what their image is online? I suspect not many.

This is a reminder on how important it is to check your online visual reputation. Here is a quick simple step to see what others see when they search for a picture or image of you online.

  • Go to Google and click on the IMAGE tab
  • In the search bar, type your name in “quotation marks” example “John Doe”
  • Click search and review the image results which appear for your name


Given real estate has shifted online, it is important to know how people SEE us when they search online. Have you searched for your images in the past? Are you concerned about what you see? What is your take about this online aggregation of data?

Emily,

That was interesting!  Tons of photos from not only my blogs, but blogs I have commented on are included in my images.  Most of them have nothing to do with me.  I think I am pretty safe here but my grankids, not so much...

Marge, thank you for the reblog. It is awesome how we pass info forward. I think it is fascinating how we are now data!

Rebecca, thanks to google, those of us who are active participants online have a portfolio of images which keeps expanding. Thanks for stopping by.

Kevin, no kidding. What is important is for us to see how we are seen too.

Scot, they are also different if you connect your first and last name as well and also in quotes. We are in a new world.

Hi Emily,  It is a great advice, we have to be careful with what we write and comments also.

If you don't want the world to see what you're saying and doing don't put it on the internet.  It will certainly come back to bite you.

Kwee, no kidding. Thank you for including comments. This is why active rain guidelines so important. Q Facebook gets over 250 million images uploaded on average per day. Sometimes people do not even know they have been tagged and are in the images. This is why it is good to chichi and see what others see. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Emily - You're right about the importance of checking visual represntation, and it was an interesting exercise. A bunch of images from my blog posts came up, along with a persistent photo of some really good-looking guy who sells real estate.

Emily - I missed this. I think it is extremely important that we be seen as professionals at all times. But, we can't always control what our friends put up. If I'm not happy I untag it and then at least it's not on my page :)

Toni, good advice on the "tagging" experience. What is important is that we monitor our online presence.

Hi Emily. This is so TRUE! I have Googled my name, and checked out all those images, but I am not as "Good Looking as Dick" in comment # 11 above. We do need to be aware of how the public sees us.
