My SEO approach throughout the blog posts was mostly on keeping the titles of my posts very simple and straight to the point. I've learned that for SEO its best to make have a short title that says what your post is about.
I haven't chosen any keywords in the past blog posts, I wasn't aware we had to include keywords or share our blog via social media. I solely created it for this class. I however have used social media to promote my personal food blog because its my own project and its on something I'd like to someday pursue somehow into my career in working in the food industry. Sharing posts on social media is the best way to attract traffic to a website or blog because people are always on their phones checking their news feed nowadays. I've also learned in my experience that posts that include some type of visual such as images or video get people's attention.
My most viral posts were a tie between my idea napkins and my first elevator pitch. I think these posts had the most page views because others in the class probably had to go back to them to understand what my venture was about in order to get background information to comment on some posts explaining my exit strategies and such.
The only way I am on the first google page is if I type in my name and the title of one of my most viewed blog posts.
Hi Carolina! I really enjoyed reading your post, I definitely agree with you wanting to keep your titles short, because that definitely changes the search engines for it. I also think that the way you described the role of social media here was very accurate. Here is the link to my post, if you'd like to read it: http://minaaomar.blogspot.com/2016/04/google-gold.html
ReplyDeleteI tried using keywords but, that did not seem to work out very well. I do not have much experience with social media so I did not use social media to try to promote my blog. I did have, what for me, would be considered viral posts, however, I have no idea how that happened. My Google search using my keywords did not produce any results in the first twenty pages. Your experience with social media can be an asset to further your endeavors. Good post, I should look into social media to promote my business.
