A blogger commented somewhere on net :
I search ‘……..’ my pen name on a search engine and results shows 31234+ results :-) and ‘………’ my original name on the same search engine shows only one result. :-(
Do you think one's pen name is more popular?

ReplyDeletehehe...i doubt i would find even one match for my name :)
ReplyDeleteSearch engines do not give results on popularity, do they?? Searching a pen name is easier since it has many linked pages...your own name may or may not fetch any results...
ReplyDeleteyaah why not? many people made big with their pennames like many poets do!!!
ReplyDeleteInterestingly my real name and pen name show the same number of results in Google search.
ReplyDeleteWas that one result actually your name?
ReplyDeletei don't know about popular, maybe more common !

My pen name shows a lot more because I used it for much longer than my real name :)
ReplyDeletedepends on the pen-name chosen/original name :)
ReplyDeletesankoobaba=2170 results
ReplyDeletesanket kambli=9150 results
bikramjit :- 50,900
ReplyDeletebikram:-1,610,000
My pen name shows 1800 results in google and a lot of it is unrelated to me, I guess nine from ten. My real name shows double the amount and I KNOW that 19 from 20 are unrelated to me.
ReplyDeleteChandrika,
ReplyDeleteIf you write under pseudo name and you are read by many, that is the one which people recognize.
Take care
Well, pen makes the pen name popular..
ReplyDeleteya ... right
ReplyDeleteSomehow my friend... but i think one is enough... too many pen names just make the readers feel annoyed and confused...!:)
ReplyDeleteHave a good day!:)

Ha ha....at times our pseudo self is more popular than the real self (though both are a part of the real) :)
ReplyDeleteI am one of the lucky few, I guess, who gets a whole load of links when I type my name in Google! I really do not have an answer to your question, but I guess the pen name is popular because that is what an author uses to identify himself/herself to the rest of the world.
ReplyDelete@ everyone : Thanks for sharing ur views about pen name and real name. I enjoyed reading all the comments. I once again thank u all from the bottom of my heart.
