People love social networks. That's apparently one of the most undeniable facts of human existence. Like moths drawn to a candle flame, many people find it hard to keep themselves from posting on a forum discussion, signing up for a Facebook group page or setting up a profile on MySpace. People want to be part of a social circle and you can take advantage of that fact to track someone down.
You can kick off your hunt by starting with the most popular ones. Here are five of them:
To speed up your hunt, try visiting YoName, Spokeo and Wink. These webpages consolidate search results from various social networking websites, even ones that are not mentioned above.
Make Use Of Online Public Records.
Online records are perfect for conducting almost-thorough background checks on anyone. If you know his name and his birth date, you can find out virtually everything about that person. Here are 4 webpages with which you can start:
. ZabaSearch
. Google
. CriminalSearches
. USA
Search Through Death Records
If you're willing to consider the possibility that the individual you are looking for may already be deceased, you can try going through online death records and cemetery listings.
You can find death records, certificate indexes, obituaries and death notices as well as burial records on DeathIndexes. The listings are categorized via city and state for faster browsing.
Certain cemeteries have webpages on which you can go through graves. FindAGrave.com and Interment.net make it easier for people to find particular cemeteries and look through graves in their listings.
Go Job Hunting
If you know where someone is employed, you can obtain his contact information by tracking him down through his company or his industry. Jobster contains job listings by name and by industry. You can go through the profiles of people who have added their information on that website in hopes of landing jobs.
ZoomInfo is a similar website. What's more interesting about ZoomInfo is that it lists down all affiliations a person has. Even if the person you are looking for no longer works for a certain company, you can still find his records there through ZoomInfo.
Basic Google Hunt and Google CSE
Most social networking webpages, blogs and forums are indexed through search engines and Google is too big to ignore.
If you happen to know the individual's first and last name, you can search for any web pages that mention that name through Google. All you have to do is enter the first and last name enclosed in quotes on the Google search field. For instance, if you're hunting for someone named Susan Richards, just enter "Susan Richards" (with quotes) into Google.
To help speed things up for you, you can combine any of the methods mentioned above through the use of Google Custom Search Engines. First, try to list down the webpages you wish to start your hunt with. Then visit Google and click the blue "Create A Custom Search Engine" button. Give your search engine a name and then separately enter the websites you've listed on the Define Search section of the page. You can freely add more websites to this later to expand your search. Finish setting up your search engine and you're good to go. Stalking is pretty serious business and any of the above tips should help you on your hunt.
These are five sure-fire methods to track someone down; but the hunt doesn't stop there. There are still other ways with which you can find someone on the net. Stalking, after all, is pretty serious business.
