1. My main strategies for search engine optimization was to post my link to my blog as much as possible. On every page I visited throughout this semester, I tried to relate my peers troubles with mine and send them to see my product and what my brand is all about. I also learned how to use LinkedIn and take advantage of its circles and connections.
2. I kept keywords pretty simple, labeling each post with the correct week and the correct assignment title, in some cases catered around my product.
3. I linked my blog to my LinkedIn account and Facebook account which allowed me to connect my friends and colleagues on both platforms to my product. I immediately got some recognition between my friends and family because they were interested in what I was portraying as.
4. My most viral post was "Identifying Local Opportunities" where I found news articles and commented on them, I guess I had good comments about the article.
5. Yeah I made it to the front page of google when you just search my name and blog, that's convenient.
Hey Kevin,
ReplyDeleteI think your search optimization strategy was solid. All those links will definitely add up and make your blog more visible. I think one of the next steps you can take if you are serious about this is to pursue a .com domain instead of being another directory in the millions of Blogspot blogs. I think the strategy of keeping keywords simple is good if you are not operating inside a huge niche, as well. I think you are right in the comments on an article (and therefore more engagement) leading to your most viral post.
I didn't complete this assignment but check out my blog if you'd like:

Hi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteI used similar strategies as I did what the assignment called for, I did not post to social media or LinkedIn. The only social media I used was Google+ and my posts often got ignored as I don’t have many people on there. I think posting your blog on Facebook was a great way to get more views and be found faster on the first page of Google.

Hi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteThat is a very nice picture that you used. I like the Google logo in gold. I like the simple key words that you used. It was smart of you to link you blog to Facebook and LinkedIn. I am sure that gave you a lot of page views. That is impressive that you made it to the first page of Google results. I only made it to the second page.
