Google Gold

1. My general approach and strategy to SEO was to use key words that would catch peoples attention when they search on the internet or that people would most likely use when searching about things that are related to my blog/ business idea.

2. My key works were: delicious, sushi, business, drive- through, health. I thought these words were broad enough that people would google them who are looking for something along the lines of what my blog could offer them.

3. Social media is a good tool to garner more traction from users on the Internet. A great way to promote the blog on social media would be through sharing this blog on Facebook, Tweeting, setting up tweets on Hootsuite, and even just simply emailing people or telling them about the blog by word of mouth. Social media worked reasonably in having people read my blog.

4. I think my first elevator pitch garnered more traffic from the rest of my blog posts, probably because that blog post included the main idea and focus of my business idea venture. If people would want to know the central idea of my start up business that would be the page to go to to find that out and that is why I think it got the most traffic.

5. I made it onto the first page of google, second link down. My mantra was the first thing to come up.

  1. Hey, Lauren!
    I did not make it to the front page of google search results, but I also chose key words that were pertinent to my venture. I tried to include them in most blog posts. My mantra came up on the front page! I think this may be because I am logged in to my youtube account on the browser I searched on, so it may simply have to do with browser cookies. Nevertheless, we both now know more about SEO. Here's my blog post: http://alejandrogomezent3003.blogspot.com/2016/04/google-gold.html

  2. Hi Lauren,
    congrats on making it to the front page! I had trouble finding my blog based on my key words, but it seems like you definitely had a grasp on what you were doing. I had forgotten to focus on making my keywords something that would have a high SEO, but you make good suggestions on how to expand your blog's traffic by means of social media.
