1) A discussion of your general approach and strategy to search engine optimization (SEO). What were some of the activities you did for each blog post to pursue SEO?
In regards to SEO, I did not strategize too much. Rather, I focused more on consistent, quality blog posts that answered the questions asked, provided accurate descriptions, and were visually interesting.
2) What were your keywords. How did you select those keywords? Did you change or refine your keywords through the semester?
In addition to the required labels, I always included the label "ENT3003" as well. This set my blog apart from anyone's blog who is not in this course.
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?
I did not share the link to my class blog on my personal FB page or on any other social media site.
4) What was your most "viral" post? In other words, which post obtained the most traffic? Why do you think?
My post that obtained the most traffic was my "Bug List" with 30 views. I am not quite sure why this one was viewed so much more than my other posts (more than double my average views), as no one even commented on it. Perhaps people were simply interested to see what my pet peeves were and if they were similar to any of theirs.
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?
Unfortunately, I did not make it to the first page of Google results, nor did I see my blog on any of the following search pages.


Hey Marissa! Good job on the post. I did not really know how to strategize for an SEO at the beginning of the semester. I ended up using a lot of the same key words over and over again so it ended working out in my favor. Like you, I did not use social media. Good job overall on the post.
