My general approach and strategy that I used for search engine optimization (SEO) is that I put my URL for my blog in every comment that I wrote for other blogs. This allows my blog to be optimized by search engines like Google or Bing. Hopefully reaching the first page of Google search when searching for my blog or in the first few pages. This searches are found by keyword that are used in the blog and then searched for. I did not have any particular set of keywords that I used in this blog to optimize the searches. I never really thought about it until now but I guess the keywords that I keep using that help search optimization are "journey", "boards", "straps", and "business". I did not use any social media to to enhance the search engine optimization although I think that using social media would improve the search engine optimization greatly since social media is used everywhere all the time.
My most viral post was my second elevator pitch, "Elevator Pitch No. 2". It got a total of 21 views minus 2 views that were viewed by me. It was the post that got the most comments with a total of 5 comments. I do not really know why I got so much traffic on this post than I did with the other posts which averaged in in 9 views per page. Unfortunately I did not make it to the first page of Google using my keywords and I got bored of going through the pages, but I did not make it in the first 10 pages of Google. But now that I know better about SEO, I can be more successful for future blogs or websites that I create.
It is interesting to read everyone's different most viral posts. I think you were very honest in your reflection. I also did not make it to the first page of google. I think this was a great exercise that helped us understand SEO for the future. Good job on the assignment. Check out my post. http://ent3003sw.blogspot.com/2016/04/going-for-gold.html
