1) A discussion of your general approach and strategy to search engine optimiation (SEO). What were some of the activities you did for each blog post to pursue SEO?
I could have done a better job at SEO, but I wasn't really thinking about it while I was doing each blog post. I tried to say "Trashport Pro" as my keyword as many times as I could.
2) What were your keywords. How did you select those keywords? Did you change or refine your keywords through the semester?
The name of my product was "Trashport Pro" which I tried to use often when trying to pitch my product. I used Trashport Pro 2.0 at one point to distinguish the differences between the product that I pitched initially, and the one I was pitching after adapting the product to the feedback I received.
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 messaged a few friends about my blog but did not post it on my wall, which would have probably generated more traffic. The people that I messaged viewed several of the blog posts but didn't continue viewing the blog for updates.
4) What was your most "viral" post? In other words, which post obtained the most traffic? Why do you think?
"My Entrepreneurship Story" was my most viral post, most likely due to the fact that it was the very first post, so people had the most time to view it. It also had a funny picture of my grandpa, which may have caught some interest.
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?
Due to Google's autocorrect software, if you type in "Trashport Pro" (without the quotes), Google will show you search results from "Transport Pro," thinking that's what you meant. But if you search for "Trashport Pro" with the quotes, one of my posts does show up on the first search results page.

I think you did a really great job with this post. I couldn't have done a better job as a SEO but unfortunately i did not do it. It was not because I did not want to, it was just a matter of trying to keep my blog a little bit private. However, for future experiences I would definitely do a better job on that matter. good luck, here is y blog
