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 general approach to SEO is to always use keywords in your writing/posting. With each blog I wrote for this class, I wrote with vocabulary and keywords that were necessary to get my thoughts across with all my assignments.
2) What were your keywords. How did you select those keywords? Did you change or refine your keywords through the semester?
My keywords were: major, successful, keys, business, entrepreneur and many more.
I did in a way change or refine my way of expressing my ideas for my assignments, because I usually get my SEO strategy through big media outlets like EDMTunes.com to get my name out there.
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 used social media to enhancing my SEO by gaining attention through many relatable topics, especially ones that gain a lot of attention or interest of the fans/viewers of my writings. My personal and only social media was in no way connected to this blog, due to way different approaches and aspects of business ideas.
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 "What's Next." I honestly have no idea why this post got the most views but if I had to assume, it would be because its the most informational regarding my venture concept.
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?
My blog does not make it to the first page of Google results, bus if you search my name, Joey Rubio, many results do come of my information from high school football, Facebook, Twitter, and EDMTunes.
Hi Joey. I had a fairly similar SEO experience to you. Most of both of our SEO attempts were through heavy use of keywords, and neither of us really used any of our personal social media. We also got similar results of not making the front page. I think that the mistake that both of us made was using keywords that were too generic, and too similar. To be honest this was not a priority of mine, but even so I think we learned a bit of a lesson about what does not quite work for SEO.

Hey Joey,
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you planned on using specific keywords in your posts throughout the semester for SEO. That is actually where we differed, for the most part of the semester I actually completely forgot about SEO. My post also did not make it to the first page of Google. However, great job!
