The keywords I used included the headlines that were assigned by Professor Pryor. I didn't really go out of my way to add key words in the text itself - most of them were very generic. If I were to do this again, I would try focusing on better use of words in the post itself.
Unfortunately, I did not try and utilize social media to boost my blog. I wish I would have used twitter or Facebook to promote my blog, however, since it was my first time blogging, I wanted to perfect the skill before I try and promote myself in the future.
My most viral post was the one about "My venture concept No. 1". I'm not quite sure why it went so viral but I did have a lot of page views. It might have been due to the use of the word "yelp" in the post - which is one of the biggest review sites in the world.
As far as making it to the top of google for particular keywords I used - I did not succeed. However, if you were to search "flgatorblogging" in google, I would now appear at the top of the list. This is a big step forward from my first blog post, when I wasn't even listed in the first 10 hits.
Hi Drew,
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I enjoyed reading your post and like the way you have your blog set up. I also didn't utilize social media to promote by blog. I felt that most of the post were specific to this class so I really didn't think to share with Facebook/Twitter friends! I can see why use of the word "yelp" would gain attraction. That got me thinking about other popular words so thank you :) Hope you enjoy what is left of the semester! You can check my blog out here: http://rebeccamarrauf.blogspot.com
Hi Drew,
ReplyDeleteIt seems we used a lot of the same techniques in our blog posts, I also didn't really go out of my way to change anything, I generally just named them whatever he wanted. I do wish this was a two part assignment with the first part coming in the beginning of the class so I could have better planned what keywords to use. Also, if we had a heads up before this assignment I definitely would have used social media to promote my blog, but I didn't do that either.
