Well, to explain it in really simple terms: see it as a new version of the White Pages. Only now, you decide what information will be available next to your name. You can make a personal website at RealMee and we will make sure that search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Windows Live find it when people look for your name. The search engine results pages will contain a link to your website. Now, you'll be found the way you want to be found. Simple as that.Yes, making a personal website is free and will remain free. What we do plan to do in the future is to offer you suggestions for other relevant online products and services. If you like them and decide to use them we will earn some money.Yes, you can. We don't like being locked-in by services ourselves so if you decide to leave you can whenever you want. Just click 'unsubscribe' at the bottom of RealMee and send us a message with your email address and password from our secured website and we will delete your personal website. Simple as that. No, we are not. We play by the rules set by search engines. This means no cloaking, linkfarming and all those other geeky terms that describe ways of influencing search engines in prohibited ways. We know we cannot build a solid service based on lies. We simply make sure your personal website is found by search engines and the best way to help improve your own ranking is by linking to your own RealMee website from wherever you think it might be relevant, e.g. from your Facebook, LinkedIn, or MySpace profile.Widgets are little mini-websites that you can display on your personal website. For example, if you have a photo account with Flickr you can automatically display your latest pictures at your RealMee website. You can do so by copying the snippet of code provided by Flickr in the content field of your personal website in the 'Advanced' area. Currently it is possible to use widgets of some of the most popular online services. Besides Flickr, examples of these services are Slide, last.fm, YouTube, Google Video, del.icio.us, Twitter, Jaiku, Photobucket, Bubbleshare, Plazes, MyBlogLog, Ustream, Chatango, Meebo, and CoComment.First of all, you decide what information will be available on your personal website. This information can be viewed by anyone who views your personal website. Therefore we advise you not to publish your email address on your website in order to avoid spam. This also isn't necessary, since visitors can leave you a message without knowing your email address if you keep the option to 'leave a message'. And anyway, we will never share the email address you provided at registration with anyone else.The idea behind RealMee is that you will be found by people looking for you through search engines so the answer is: anyone can view your personal website. Therefore, think about what you want to share with the world.No, we will never put any advertising messages on your personal website. What we do plan to do in the future is to offer you suggestions for other relevant online products and services. If you like them and decide to use them we will earn some money. In any case, visitors of your website will not notice anything. We want it to be your website as much as possible.That depends. Normally, it will take a few days before your RealMee website will be found by search engines. You will receive a weekly email from us with useful facts about your website. One of the things included in the mail is your ranking in Google, Yahoo! and Windows Live Search. This way, you can monitor your own search engine ranking. The best way to help improve your own ranking is by linking to your RealMee website from wherever you think it might be relevant, e.g. from your Facebook, LinkedIn, or MySpace profile.Although we will do anything we can to rank your website high in the search engines, the ranking depends on a number of factors. We cannot control all of them. For example, if a well known public figure shares your name, they will be referenced a lot when people look for your name. In that case, you have to add more personal detail to your website. Then, it is more likely that a combination of your name and some keyword (e.g. your school, your hobbies etc.) will return a link to your website. The best way to help improve your own ranking is by linking to your own RealMee website from wherever you think it might be relevant, e.g. from your Facebook, LinkedIn, or MySpace profile.The best way to help improve your own ranking is by linking to your RealMee website from wherever you think it might be relevant, e.g. from your Facebook, LinkedIn, or MySpace profile.If you have forgotten your password go to 'edit your profile' at the top of RealMee. A login screen will appear in which you have to click 'forgot password'. Just enter your email address and we will sent you a link with which you can create a new password. Do you share my email address and other details with others? As we also explained in the "spam" question, we will never share your email address or any other personal details with anyone else. But remember, all the info you put in your personal website will be available publicly, so think about what you want to share with others.Right now you can give your website a personal touch by adding some photos, widgets or HTML. But eventually you will be able to do all sorts of stuff to make the website 'more you'. You can think of adding your own background, a complete personalized style with your own fonts and layout, and even get your own URL if you want RealMee to be on the background even more. And we got a ton of ideas to make the service even more personal in the near future. At RealMee, we put your online identity first.No. It will take you 1 minute to get your own website ready and be found online. If you wish to add more personal details, you can whenever you want.Yes, it is.

So are we and these are the ladies who are responsible for it: Puurpixl. When you create a personal website you will receive an email from RealMee on the email address you gave us. The email contains a link which you have to click for security reasons in order to activate your personal website. By activating the link we will know that you have access to the email account you provided when registering. This way we can assume that you are who you say you are.Once every two weeks you will receive an email from RealMee stating interesting statistics regarding your personal website, e.g. how many visits your personal website got during the last month, what kind of search terms people used to find your personal website etc. We think you will like this! Additionally, once a while, you will receive an email with news about developments at RealMee that might interest you. That's it!In the monthly email with statistics your ranking in www.google.com is determined by performing a search for your name between brackets. By searching between brackets a search will be performed for content that exactly matches this query, in the same order. This way, we know that it is a search for your name. A search for your name without using brackets means that a search engine will search for all content which contains these words, but also in mixed order. Subsequently, this is less likely to be a search for your name. We understand that most people perform name searches without using brackets. In a while, search engines will consider RealMee as an entity more relevant because more people will use the service and more links to RealMee will appear on the Web. At that point, a search without brackets for your name will also result in a high ranking for your personal website at RealMee. A little more patience, please!
