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 wanted tags that would also serve as promotional slogans. On my instagram page (IG: _oliver_telusma_) I would do promotional flyers before releasing an article.
2) What were your keywords. How did you select those keywords? Did you change or refine your keywords through the semester?
My key words were "next up" and "make progress" because I wanted key phrases that would also serve as branding.
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?
The company that I focused on was the website I launched called Progress. Social media for my blog had a negligible effect on the blog, but did have a positive effect on my website.
4) What was your most "viral" post? In other words, which post obtained the most traffic? Why do you think?
The most viral post on my blog was "my Entrepreneurship Story." It received the most traffic I believe because it was the inaugural story on my page and was an honest look about how entrepreneurship has affected my life and my success.
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 did not make it to the first page of Google results, it was actually very difficult to find my blog unless I typed out my first and last name.

Hi Oliver,
ReplyDeleteIt was difficult for me to find my blog too, my keywords didn't seem to help much. You seem to have a good grasp on how you would use social media and keywords to your advantage though. I hope it proves useful in the future if you decide to pursue your business plan!

Hey Oliver,
ReplyDeleteGood post. Good job trying to use keywords to optimize your SEO. I tried to do something very similar but I believe that you must do other things to get your blog to show up on the first few pages on Google, or for anyone to be able to really find it. Good post though. Check out mine: http://sawyerlambert.blogspot.com/2016/04/going-for-google-gold.html
Hey Oliver,
ReplyDeleteI did not know you had a website Progress I'm sure it is going well and I appreciate the appreciation you have for Pres. Obama, he is a remarkable man. I enjoyed your blog and it's ok if you didn't make it on the first page of Google because what does that even mean? Nice key words as well.
