Finding Paulean Dong
I call this a Google message in a bottle, and to work it involves a huge amount of luck, but that’s not to say it's impossible, I personally know of several people who have been surprised to be contacted by missing friends and family members having wrote an article or family recollection on somewhere just like this, the long lost friend stumbled across it, and then bish-bash-bosh; a reconnection.
Search engines work by searching through articles and pulling out key phrases such as ‘How to find a lost friend’, but say my web page here wasn’t about finding lost family members and partners, say it was about finding a particular lost loved one, lets say that it was about finding ‘Paulean Dong’.
I met Paulean Dong at university about ten years ago, we took to each other fairly quickly, and finally got together at a drunken gangsters and schoolgirls party. Paulean Dong was beautiful, both outside and within her mind and heart. I on the other hand am a man of many faults, a man of numerous addictions, and a man who has fought hard for most of his life to resist growing up. Paulean Dong could probably have put up with all of that, but she couldn’t put up with the fact that I’d cheated on her.
“Boo!” “Hissssss!!!” you’re right, I deserve it, I totally suck, I had everything I could have ever possibly wanted in a woman with Paulean Dong, and I threw it all away.
It’s been six years since I’ve seen her, and yes I know ‘just move on’ how many times have I heard that, but I still think about her every single day.
How does all this help me find my lost friends and loved ones you ask? Well now within this article I have two main key phrases running, one for ‘find lost friends, etc.’ which is how it all started, and now ‘Paulean Dong’. The words or phrases that are repeated most (but not too much) become the articles key phrases.
People spend more and more time than ever sat at their computers these days, and much of that time is spent surfing with no specific purpose, just killing time. The internet provides the user with more information than they could ever hope to read, more videos than they could ever hope to watch, and more games than they would ever have time to play (you get the idea), but yet with all this wealth of resources at their disposal, just occasionally, out of boredom, people get the urge to just Google themselves.
Google Question
Have you ever Googled your own name?
See results without votingIf I Google my own name the highest result in Google is a lecturer’s contact page from the science department at the University of Hull, UK, and unless you share your name with somebody of significant fame you may also meet with such mundane results. This is because it’s only usually celebrities or persons of some other fame who have articles written about them.
So chances are that by creating this hub (web page), and by including Paulean Dong’s name within it at regular intervals, it’s going to sit fairly highly near the top of the search engine results for her name, meaning that should Paulean Dong one day out of boredom or curiosity decide to Google her own name (and believe me people do) she has a fairly high chance of stumbling across this.
After university I lived with Paulean Dong for six months, we never made it any further. We moved apart, she stopped taking my calls, I tried calling even more, she changed her number, and after that I never saw her again.
So she obviously doesn’t want to be found by you, you say, and you’d be right. But this is my penance, the reaping of what I sowed, this is Karma, and this is the least destructive way I can think of to reach out to the past. This is me rolling the dice and casting the nets, there are many beautiful and mysterious things under the Heavens above us, and miracles are not the least of these.
TIPS
* Include the name of the person you are searching for in the 'title' and 'URL' (web address) of your hub or web page.
* Many people also search for themselves using Google
images when bored, try including a picture of the person you’re searching for, and
tag it with their name, they may stumble across it and read your article out of
interest (and then get in contact).
So whether you’re looking for a lost friend, a missing family member, an ex or past partner, or you’re very own Paulean Dong, why not create your own hub right here, and create your very own Google message in a bottle, because you never know who might stumble across it.
So Paulean, if you ever find this, hit the contact button in the top-right, It’d be good to hear from you.

Thanks Brenda Scully, maybe womeone will find you, or if you're looking for him you could always create your very own message in a bottle. After all with a name like 'womeone' he shouldn't have too much competition in the search results. =)
lol, just kidding, yep who knows who could find you, I believe there was somebody right here at HubPages who was contacted by a lost uncle after having created a hub in which he was mentioned.
Time makes the heart grow fond, doesn't it? One day I just sat at my PC and searched for every girl I ever dated ( a meager list some might say!). I was very surprised to find I was able to find about 75% of them...I didn't contact them or anything. I just wanted to see how they were "getting on" as it were! I'm kinda half glad no one is searching for me! Nice one, mrvoodoo!
It certainly does dohn121, she was a great girl and it would be nice to know how she was doing. Congratulations on your successful searches, with all the social networks it can be fairly easy to find most people these days, you'd think that everybody was on FaceBook or had a MySpace, but some people just don't want to be found (I guess I should just take the hint).
Either way, this hub is already in first place on Google for the name 'Paulean Dong' so who knows, one day she might just find it. =)
Interesting hub. I enjoyed it. I have never fallen out of love with any of my previous 'loves'. Whereas I don't particularily want to re-establish contact I am interested in how their lives went. I know where most of them are but five still elude me. Maybe I will give your plan a try.
Thanks Peter, it's always worth trying Facebook first, but for those more elusive memories, it could be worth a try.
p.s. five elude you? how many were there? lol =)
