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? 

-I just simply put keywords in the labels section of all my posts in order to get as much views as possible. It was moderately successful in the long run looking back at all my posts.

2) What were your keywords. How did you select those keywords? Did you change or refine your keywords through the semester?

-My keywords were simply the week of the post and other things related to the individual post such as if it was a video or interview.

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 posted once about my blog for the class but it did not recieve any increased traffic from the post itself. Perhaps, next time i can more actively promote it.

4) What was your most "viral" post? In other words, which post obtained the most traffic? Why do you think?

-It was my second elevator pitch because I think it was of my well done video posts and people may have returned a second time to watch it. I rehearsed it a fair amount so it is nice that the hard work paid off.

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?

-I never made it to the first page as my blog was relatively a low traffic blog itself. I made it to the 6th page of results and i know this is not ideal but it is the truth.
