Type in your first and last name as one word, johndoe. No address.

Use google, bing, etc.

Look for custom or legacy urls you may have.

Wait 3 months and try again.

To get off search engines like google and bing, try webmaster tools first then check the owner of the site and/or deleting your account from the listed site.

Re: Data Brokers & Web sites I removed myself from.
one by one, look for the opt-out at the bottom of each site or help

Edit: I did more like remove content and pictures, closed most of my accounts also, I seen something like happening long time ago. The data brokers is the best start right now to start. Then do a search on google and bing to remove what you can under your real name, use webmatster tools on each search engine.

They all come back in 6 months and you have to do over again & new sites pop up, you got to google your name and address every so often to keep on it
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76863067


You’ll notice the main or top collectors after awhile, there are like 4 major ones. Rest are get the info from them but you still need to remove yourself from them.

I search my real name every 3 months anyway and have nothing past couple searches.

I wouldn't put my name and address together into the google

It's a good measure if you're trying to get a serious job or you have reason to suspect someone is personally tracking you for free on the internet.

The reality is the paid resources aren't going to protect anyone's public information from an investigator.

Exactly! It’s obvious it’s not for the government but stupid people trying to dig up info on ya.

I am done, nothing comes up. You would have to know the exact government public records location like state, county or state if I had anything. You can get expungements for that.

Yep - I've been doing this every couple of months also. These are the sites that basically extort you and others to pay for your "profile" by using bait headings like "john doe may have criminal records"

Someone did dox me, found my name through my legacy youtube custom url setup in 2009. He then watched all my videos archived and he stopped because he thought I was pretty cool and a good guy. We talked for a month after.

What about infotracer.com? They appear to get your information directly from government and will not delete records...so what do you do?
