Google Gold


     In complete honesty I haven't done anything to pursue SEO. Other than share my blog posts with other students via the share assignments I really haven't spread the word of my blog. That makes it difficult to complete this assignment accurately. So instead I have decided to tell you what I would have done if I was aware that I should have been working toward going for gold.
   First off I would have shared my blog link with more people than just the ones I was required to share it with. I would have accomplished this through facebook and other social media outlets. I have had a blog before and received eight times the amount of views for half the work. I also would have requested that my friends and family spread the word as well. I also would have used hashtags on my social media posts, these allow people using the same hashtags to easily locate my post. Therefore bringing together people with the same ideas and common interests.
   These hashtags would be very similar to using keywords through google. I would use words such as entrepreneur, innovation, food, app, waiter, college, UF, and other words that contribute to my blog. I could even use ENT3003 as one of my keywords because there are so many people taking the course. I would have waited to see the success of these words and if they weren't working well I would change them to either be more specific or go in the opposite direction and be more broad,making bigger generalizations.
  Without advertising my blog, all my posts gained mainly the same traffic. If I had to guess if I had advertised more I believe that my worlds biggest problems post would go the most viral. I believe it is a post that a lot of people can relate too.
   Unfortunately I will not be accepting my gold medal in Rio this summer but hey there is always next time! And until then always listen to Bey:

  1. Hi Niamh,
    Great Gifs! Thanks for just coming out and saying how hard this assignment was! I did a little SEO, but still (nothing against my blog or this class) wasn’t ready to call my relatives and tell all of my friends about this blog. I like your theoretical approach, and your honesty.
