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 think that being aggressive in your ability to strategize as an entrepreneur is key and I did that in pursuing my SEO.
2) What were your keywords. How did you select those keywords? Did you change or refine your keywords through the semester?
Keywords are something that attracts the audience. How did you differ yourself? What words make you accessible on google. Simple yet effective. 
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?
My social media is strong. I use solid hashtags to reach people I wanted to. I think twitter was a huge part of my growth and I received good feedback in response to my tweets. 
4) What was your most "viral" post? In other words, which post obtained the most traffic? Why do you think?
I had a few tweets go viral. We had advertisements on twitter and promotions that leaked out and became successful on social media. 
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 have not, I think I can continue to strive for that however. Using more tags can get me from page 4 to page 1 in no time.

  1. Hey Ben
    I think using twitter to help promote your business is a great idea. Many people seem to use it and in my previous job that was one of the main ways we reached out to our customers. It is really awesome that you were able to get some tweets to go viral. You can check out my blog post at http://mercerwill.blogspot.com/2016/04/google-gold.html

  2. I think your assessment of your SEO is spot on. I think using twitter and other social media outlets is a great way to get more traffic on your blog. If everyone that you know knew about your blog and went onto it to check it out would definitely boost your SEO. My take on it was ver similar, here is a link to my blog post: http://courtneydscott.blogspot.com/2016/04/going-for-google-gold.html
