Why does that website come up in Google when I type my name?

    Hi,

    When I type "Sunlust" into google, my website comes up, and most of forums I'm registered on but also I get http://audiotrak.co.uk which is a website I redesigned etc, but my name is not in the source code.

    So why does it come up?? Does anyone have any logical explanation? Because for me it's just weird.

    Did you checked the backlinks of that site? Because there could be reason that it might be getting good amount of backlinks from specific website that has "Sunlust" in their domain name.

    yes, whenever u post any comment you might have used your name as a anchor text and url of your website. You might have used that as a signature too. this is the reason, as search engine shows your site by your name.
