Ziggs.com is the social networking site that offers a service that will let you know who is googling you online and a little bit about them. Ziggs WebPro will place Advertisements featuring your profile on a search engine which is linked to your profile by Ziggs. Although Ziggs has been marketed more as a business networking site calling itself “Your one-stop source for building your online brand, marketing yourself on the web and simplifying communications with people” users are saying its spooky to know who has googled you and when.
You can get a free trial version of this service and without ad placements if you just want to try it out, Ziggs WebPro will still tell you when people have clicked on your profile through a search engine. This service then allows you to see when someone is viewing your profile and you can receive email alerts every time someone views your profile via the search engine.
So gone will be the days of wondering if and if ever you have been googled as this service will tell you when and who has, this service can also be used via Yahoo and other search engines. So if you think it will be viable for your business networking or you just want to be spooked then give Ziggs.com ago.

You can get a similar service totally free at http://WikiWorldBook.com which is a People Search engine with Global Address Book. Essentially, the service enables you to create a profile which is easily found by anyone looking for you using the search engines like Google. You are sent a Search Alert email if someone Googles you and clicks through to your profile. You should be able to see the geographical location of the searcher, their IP address, what business or organisation they are at if that’s where they are based, the actual search engine and the keywords used to find you.
The service also enables members to be easily contacted by old friends and colleagues without themselves being registered via the website’s messaging system. The member’s own email contact details are hidden, so they don’t risk it being seen by spammers and the messages are forwarded to the member by email.
