1) A discussion of your general approach and strategy to search engine optimization (SEO). What were some of the activities you did for each blog post to pursue SEO? 

Mostly I just focused on including several key words throughout my blog post to ensure that it would come up.

2) What were your keywords. How did you select those keywords? Did you change or refine your keywords through the semester?

I used the keywords API, innovation, businesses, Parker Fields, and so on. When I first started making blog posts I wasn't focused on using keywords. As the semester continued I started using more and more keywords in my blog posts.

3) How did you use social media to enhance your SEO efforts? What your your surprises or general impression of using social media to improve your blog's profile? Was social media generally receptive of your blog, or did it get ignored?

I didn't really use social media to enhance my SEO efforts. I could have posted the link to my blog on my various social media accounts but I decided not to.

4) What was your most "viral" post? In other words, which post obtained the most traffic? Why do you think?

My most "viral" post was my elevator pitch #2. It was probably the most viral because it had a video and that video was posted on youtube. This probably led to more traffic.

5) Finally, did you make it to the first page of Google results for your keywords? If not, what page of results did you make it to?

Unfortunately I did not make it to the first page of Google results. In the future I would have to focus on more specific keywords to have better results.
