This paper investigates self-googling through the monitoring of
search engine activities of users and adds to the few quantitative
studies on this topic already in existence. We explore this
phenomenon by answering the following questions: To what extent is
the self-googling visible in the usage of search engines; is any
significant difference measurable between queries related to
self-googling and generic search queries; to what extent do
self-googling search requests match the selected personalised Web
pages? To address these questions we explore the theory of
narcissism in order to help define self-googling and present the
results from a 14-month online experiment using Google search engine
usage data.
