SEO Strategy:
In
order to pursue search engine optimization I shared my blog links on all of my
comments. Even people that were not assigned to me. I also tried to make my format,
and discussions appealing in order to be shared more frequently as well as
express interest. I used exciting technology terms in my venture. Anyone
researching futuristic technologies would pull up my blog.
Keywords pursued:
My
main keywords was my blog name. Anyone who was curious in reading a blog from
UF or for Entrepreneurship would find my blog. I also incorporated interesting
topics, such as RFID’s and Holograms. Anyone searching for these technology
terms, and UF would find my blog.
Social Media Enhancement:
I
used Yellowdig to express my interest of the technology I was using in my
venture. This would bring other students on to my blog page expressing interest
in my opinions. Other than that, I didn’t use social media frequently to
increase my SEO. The reason is because I was skeptical starting this class. I
didn’t want my ideas or opinions out on the web. I guess I was afraid of criticism,
or possible negative perspective with future networks. I don’t post many things
on social media in case of negative effects in general. Therefore, using social
media as a tool to enhance my SEO for my blog was out of the question. However,
if I could do this over, I would. I wouldn’t worry about this “negative effect
shield”, and just post my opinions out there in order to receive valuable
feedback. My view point on effects social media can make has been changed to a
positive one.
Most Viral Post:
My “Idea
Napkin Number Two” was my most viral post. My “Entrepreneurship Story” was
almost tied with this one. I believe that these received the most views, because
I made them exciting and interesting. I expressed the most passion in these
particular post. My idea napkin has a futuristic product with many features
involved. I explained it in detail and was excited about it. This excitement must
have spread. My Entrepreneurship Story was very detailed as well. I wrote it as
if I could bring the reader there with me. The amount of detail involved to
bring the reader in must have increased interest.
Google Gold Trophy:
Surprisingly,
I did make the first page of Google results with my keywords. If you type in
RFID and Blog, I made the first page. As far as UF Blog goes, I made it to page
eleven. I would say that that’s not too bad.

Hey Britt!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on making it to page 11! That's quite an accomplishment, even if it doesn't seem so. I think it's really neat that you incorporated things that you're interested in, such as RFID and holograms. It's understandable that you were afraid to post to social media. I think if you do continue on with your blog, it would help you grow if you changed the name of your url to something more fitting for your interests and passion. Other than that, keep up the great work! Here is the link to my post. http://adventuresofentrepreneurship.blogspot.com/2016/04/google-gold.html
Hello Britt,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. You really did a great job in creating search engine optimization. Making it on the first page of google through the use of keywords speaks volumes. Your keywords are strategic, you shared your profile publicly, and used Yellowdig as ways of creating more traffic to your blog post.This is very smart and it worked.
