1) My approach to search engine optimization (SEO) would be to try to infiltrate the web with my blogposts. I did this by always making sure to include a link in my comments on other people's blogposts, and I have given a lot of my friends the link to my blog so they could check it out as well. The repetition of my link and having lots of people visit my page defintely improved my SEO.
2) With almost every comment I put "feel free to check out my blogpost here: *insert link*", so I would say this is the closest thing I had to a set of key words. I picked this phrase and inclusion of my link in order to effectively and slyly put my link into my comment; so that then people who visit another person's blog with my comment on it will see my link, and then be prompted to look at my post!
3) I didn't use any super popular social media to enhance my SEO, I just used Blogger, yet I feel like I did an okay job. I was incredibly surprised by the number of visits I had to my blog; I have 712 page views! That's a WHOLE lot more than I would've ever imagined. I would say that my blog wasn't really ignored, because of the plethora of views I have and the outstanding comments I got on each post.
4) My "Elevator Pitch No. 2" post had the most traffic, a whopping 28 views and 6 comments. I think the comments only occurred because they were assigned, but the 28 views was still pretty good. I think this got the most views out of all my posts because the video aspect of it was intriguing and I think I did a pretty decent job with the pitch.
5) I have a very popular first in last name, so just typing in one or the other doesn't work- but when you type my name my blog does come up in the results! Unfortunately my key phrase does not lead to my blog, but I think that is understandable because I didn't make it succinct and unique enough. Just searching "Cassidy McKenna" however, you can see my blogposts starting at page 9. I thought for sure it would've been on some of the beginning pages, so I was surprised to see it was that far back in the search results. I need to continue working on my SEO.
Hello Cassidy,
ReplyDeleteyour results are amazing, congratulations! Maybe another reason why your elevator pitch number 2 was so successful is because of the use of YouTube as a media player system. Almost the same happened in my case. My post with more views was "Interviewing customers No. 2." I thought it might had to do with the use of several YouTube videos. Furthermore, my blog wasn't in the first page either, therefore we definitely have to keep working on our blogs. Here is my post if you want to take a look at it http://berrvh.blogspot.com/2016/04/google-gold.html
