Going for Google Gold

Going for Google Gold

1.       My general approach or strategy to SEO (search engine optimization) was to use repeated key words. I repeated a lot of key terms throughout the course of the semester. I also made sure that what I wrote was relevant to the title of the specific article and relevant to my blog (or project) as a whole.

2.       The main keywords that I used from the beginning are as follows: drug store, store, chomp, gator, convenience, and on-campus. I chose these specific words because I felt that they were relevant to my project and are commonly used words. My posts would probably have a chance of being relevant to people who search those key words. During the semester, I added more keywords: app, promotion, and advertising. As my venture became more specific, I added in these new keywords.

3.       I don’t use social media regularly. I determined that my friends/followers seemed very uninterested in my project, so I did not share it often. Though social media did not work as a method of advertising for me, it could definitely work for others!

4.       My most “Viral” post was the Idea Napkin No. 2. This was the first post where I expanded to talk about my potential mobile savings app. I think that people were interested in it because it was a short and sweet overview of what I’ve done.

5.       If you type “Chomp N’ Run, drug store” into google, my blog comes up as the number one post. However, without using the name of my drug store, I was unable to find it with the other key search words. People would have to know the name of my business in order to find it on google.
