#2. My keywords are "Bryce Harrold", "entrepreneurship", "blog", "ENT3003". These are pretty generic and standard keywords, but I felt that most of my posts would at least include one or two of these "keywords".
#3. To be honest, I never really used social media to promote my blog. Rather, I only shared it with other students in the class, and occasionally showed it to some of my close friends. However, knowing those that follow me on social media, I feel like it would be a blog that would be ignored for the most part.
#4. My post about "Celebrating Failure", had the most recent traffic with 8 page views. I feel as though this has gotten the most traffic recently due to the fact that it was a pretty big assignment for the class, and a lot of people had to comment on my blog for credit as well.
#5. At the end of the day, I did not make it to the first page of Google for my keywords. Ultimately, this was due to a lack of time and lack of knowledge of how to properly use SEO. However, I feel that I could get much better with more experience, or if I ever need to use it for business purposes, just hire an expert to manage my website. My page did not even turn up in the first 10 pages of google, but I am sure it is there somewhere. Overall, I think I failed when it comes to going to Google Gold.
Until next time,

Great post Bryce! As I commented on the last post I read, I am definitely upset with myself for not even attempting to make my blog as known as I should have. Laziness would simply be the only answer. After reading your post, you've given me a lot of great ideas for what I can do to better any future blogs or business ventures I start, so thank you!

ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to setting your search engine optimization, you would want more generic keywords to take people to your blog, assuming that you actually wanted to expose people to your blog. The more generic your keywords are, the higher the potential number of people who will see your blog. In real life, however, if you wanted to use such generic keywords, you would need to pay to be on the first page. Companies and organizations frequently do this so you would need to compete with all of them. Obviously, if you do not pay and they do, they will take priority over you in terms of optimization. Normally, I would tell you to feel free to check out my blog post, but unfortunately, I did not complete the assignment.
ReplyDeleteHi Bryce,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post and learning what insights you had regarding this topic. It seems that most students in this class did not achieve the goal of "going for Google gold", although if they have I'm sure we're all curious as to what they did differently from us. I also did not share my blog on social media at all, I instead just did the required postings for the class. I did not get a chance to complete this assignment unfortunately
