Hey, actually if you ready to spend some time, there is a way to solve your problem. The algorithm is simple -- add noise. Create multiple virtual identities with first/last name. Then instantiate these identities in social networks, forums, mailing lists, etc. Link corresponding accounts together to raise their search ranking. Bam! You're not longer visible on first page of google search results.

While security through obscurity wont work against a sophisticated opponent, its enough to prevent casual snooping.
