Google Gold

1. My approach to SEO: For the most part I only used keywords if they fit well into my writing. I didn't want the quality of the content to be hurt by trying to through in as many keywords as possible. Outside of that, the only thing I did was the required commenting and linking on other peoples blogs. I felt, that since this is a temporary blog, that pushing it really hard was unnecessary.

2. Keywords: I selected keywords based off of my venture idea, my blog title, and entrepreneurship in general. They were, entrepreNerdship, venture, business, entrepreneurship, and mesh networking. After I had my venture idea, I didn't change or add any additional words.

3.  Social Media: I did not use social media to enhance my SEO efforts. Like I said earlier, because this is a temporary blog, I didn't see to much of a point in really pushing it hard.

4. Most "Viral" Post: I really don't know why my "Secret Sauce" post was my most viewed page (29 views). My guess is a lot of people didn't do that assignment, so those people weren't assigned a blog to comment on  and saw my blog's name and checked it out.

5. Google Result: When you search entrepreNerdship I am on the second half of the of first page. Every other keyword by itself doesn't work.

  1. Hey Matthew!
    I really like that you have one specific word that is in every single post. That is really beneficial to your company. When people google your company you pop up on one of the first few pages and that is awesome. One of the issues I have with my product is that the name is so general. When my product is googled it is hundreds of pages back. I wish I would have known this before I started developing my product's name. But I am in the same boat you are, my blog is temporary so I am not overly concerned.
    Overall great job!

  2. Hey Matt! I really enjoyed your post and think that you did a great job making it to the front page of Google! That is a really big deal and you were able to use key words and things to be able to achieve that. Like yourself I did not use social media to enhance my blog, but I think it would have helped it immensely.
