    Hi,

    I would like to hear your opinions and advice. I need to do seo in order to achieve that a personal name (an uncommon one) appears in the first two pages of most search engines results. Since it is not a common name and has no compentece it should be easily doable, what do you think? How many content pages do you think it would take?

    2 pages would suffice with good links to both.

    And depending on how common or uncommon the name is, it may only take 1 or 2 links.

    Typically with a keyword phrase that is rarely searched and has no competition, you can rank it entirely with on page factors.

    Just don't post their name here as it will be #1 within days ;)

    (ie. Costa Dedes)

    It should be easy.

    I have never tried to optimize for my name, but I have multiple top 10 rankings for different variations of it.

    Adam Thompson is not that uncommon, either. :)

    It will be easy.

    One page and a handfull of links are more than enough, especially if the page also carries the name:

    example.com/my-name.html

    The only problem you might face is waiting a couple of weeks for Google to lift their filters, but this might not even be a problem if the name is that uncommon.
