Going for Google Gold
1)
A discussion of your general approach and strategy to
search engine optimiation (SEO). What were some of the activities you did for
each blog post to pursue SEO?
My approach and strategy to SEO (search
engine optimization) for my blog was to use many commonly searched words in
each of my posts. I figured that in anything these phrases were searched, then
my blog post could show up. I also looked up most commonly searched keywords
and things and used them in my posts.
2)
What were your keywords. How did you select those
keywords? Did you change or refine your keywords through the semester?
I used different keywords but some of the
most searched for keywords that I used was ‘news’, ‘translate’, ‘business’;
keywords such as these. My keywords did change throughout the semester as my
posts changed, so I infused different words. Also new words, so that my post
got even more views.
3) How did you
use social media to enhance your SEO efforts? What your your surprises or
general impression of using social media to improve your blog's profile? Was
social media generally receptive of your blog, or did it get ignored?
I really do not use much social media to
enhance my SEO efforts. I guess I could have used more but I thought that it
would have to be specific and relevant to my blog. I did use Youtube for some
of the video submissions which could count as social media. I realize how
impactful though social media can be to your SEO.
4) What was
your most "viral" post? In other words, which post obtained the most
traffic? Why do you think?
My most viral post on my blog was the
Celebrating Failure post. It got a huge whopping 8 views. I think it obtained
the most because we had peer reviews for it plus I think it was extremely
inspiring.
5) Finally, did you make it to the first page of Google
results for your keywords? If not, what page of results did you make it to?
No, I did not make it to the first page, but made it to the
second which I am pretty proud of, I gotta admit.
How in the world did you make it to the second page? I mean I didn't check for mine after the first but I'm still impressed. Your keywords seemed pretty general as well, so I'm very impressed. Would you consider keeping up this blog for your venture? I probably wouldn't keep mine up. I don't know what I would post about after this class.

Hi Sawyer! That's amazing that you made it to the second! I was no where even close to there! That's definitely something to be proud of! I never shared my blog on social media either, which is probably why I wan't highly searched. But I used similar key words in all of my posts, but that didn't help at all. "Celebrating Failure" was also my most popular post, with nine comments! I have no idea how that happened, but funny how we both had the same post! Good job and keep up the hard work!
