Google Gold

1. My approach to SEO is to use keywords that are also used in the assignment directions. I figure that if somebody is going to read the directions in the assignment calendar, then they are willing to search the words that are in front of their face. I used some of the same words and common business terms for each blog post to pursue SEO.
2. Some of my keywords were “CleanLine” (the name of the venture), “Max wilkinson”, “blogger”, “blog”, “water shoes”, “venture”, “product”, “success”. I did refine my keywords through the semester when I became more confident in my product.
3. I used social media to enhance my SEO efforts by notifying others around me of my blog and directing them to my blog through Blogger, YouTube, Instagram, and FaceBook. My general impression of using social media to improve my blog’s profile is that it is extremely helpful in directing customers to my product base. I think that social media was generally ignored regarding my blog.
4. My most viral post was the 80-20 Rule post. I am surprised by this post being the most popular, but I did have a great interview with a local entrepreneur so I think that may have had something to do with its popularity. 
5. When typing in “Max Wilkinson blog” I am the second result on Google, which is on the first page.
