Aren't we all a little protective of our ideas? I chose the concept I've been working on this semester over my initial idea because I knew it would be difficult for anyone to implement and highly unlikely that it would be picked up and replicated in the Tampa Bay area specifically. We're vulnerable in this situation.
That being said, I did try to use "interactive indoor playplace" and "children under five" or variations thereof weaved inconspicuously through my posts. From my past experience as a freelance content writer, I can tell you I didn't use keywords nearly enough to top Google. My employers would request a word be used at least 15 times in 90 words. Yikes. It's like they don't realize how that's going to read.
Come to Dr. Joe's pediatric dentistry for kid-friendly service. The practice made to be kid-friendly, calming and just for kids. Kid-friendly, pain-free dentistry. Did I mention dentistry or kids? Kid-friendly, kid, kid, dentistry.That's exaggerated, but some employer requirements did have obviously keyword heavy end products. As a writer, I hate producing work like that, which suits my strategy of foregoing SEO in favour of privacy.
Not very sporting of me, is it? Let's say I were trying to get the word out about my business. My keywords would stay about the same "indoor play," "interactive," "children under five," "developmental play" and maybe "air conditioning." There would have to be something about the facility being relatively weather-proof. Parents can bring their children any time, woo!
Social media would have to play a role, but I'm guessing Facebook would be the extent of it. Snapchat could be brought in, but that's really only impactful once a following is established. I'm not a big fan of social media; I find it invasive. After much apprehension I've jumped on Instagram and, as of yesterday, Snapchat, but I deleted my Facebook account three years ago and haven't looked back. So no shameless social media self-promotion has happened so far, though every post I publish I consider sharing via Google+. Friends would come check out the blog if I asked, but I don't think they would engage.
My secret sauce is my most viral post, but Idea napkin no. 1 is a close second, only one view short of a tie. Any post with the Swedish Chef is going to be hot.
Should I admit I couldn't find my blog in Google results? No? Okay, let's forget about that bit then.
I like your sense of humor, it made me laugh. Yea, I could not find my blog in a google search either. I hope that does not make me a failure. I am with you on the repetitive use of a single word to make a google search find my blog. I want my blog read by people that I am familiar with. I guess if the blog were to produce some kind of profit one would have the need for many users to find it. Not for me in this case though.

Hello Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. I like how you kept it casual and added hints of humor. I didn't want to stop reading! In regards to the actual assignment, I like how you added repetition of key words in your assignments. Thats a great way to market your page on google. I too included keywords in all of my assignments and pictures which I thought would help in increasing my search engine optimization.
I could not find my page either.
