1) A discussion of your general approach and
strategy to search engine optimization (SEO). What were some of the activities
you did for each blog post to pursue SEO?
To pursue SEO, I included a keyword of my
post on each image, video or link describing the title of each blog. This
really helped me in the way that once this key word was typed in any search
engine, my post will appear as a result of the search.
2) What were your keywords? How did you select
those keywords? Did you change or refine your keywords through the semester?
I chose my key words based on each
assignment. For example, on the assignment “Celebrating Failure” I included the
word “Failure” as my keyword. Any search where the word failure was included
will lead to a link to my post.
3) How did you use social media to enhance your
SEO efforts? What 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 didn’t use social media to enhance my SEO
efforts. But even thought I didn’t use this valuable resource, the links I
provided on each comment where very useful as I received 600 views over the
past 3 months.
4) What was your most "viral" post? In
other words, which post obtained the most traffic? Why do you think?
My most viral post was titled “How to Find
Your Best Customers - The Twenty Percent: Boca Fiesta”, which obtained 20
views. I believe that it received that many views because I included Boca
Fiesta as my Key word for this assignment and people looking for this well known bar could find a link to my post too.
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?
In most cases my post was included in the
second page of google results, but it has never being on the first page.
Hi Alejandro!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I know I should've included more keywords for my posts to make them easier to find in search results. I only really used the ones provided to us in the instructions and "ent3003" as well. My page did not make it to the first page of Google results because I used such a general keyword that many other students used. One thing I did differently from you was use social media in the form of YouTube to promote my posts. I think this helped me get some more views!
