Search Engine Optimization



Looking at the traffic source information for my blog it came as no surprise that nearly all of my traffic has come from referring URLs; most of which are from the links posted in the class forum. A few are from web crawlers but the main point is that none came from keyword searches. So the first and most obvious search engine optimization step would be to include keywords in the blog, likely through the use of meta-tags as well as tagging each blog post with relevant labels. Both of these steps will increase the chance of the blog showing up in search engine results.   

Including more links to and from the blog is another way to increase search results. This is especially true when linking with social networking sites like Facebook and twitter. Other sites like youtube are also popular when it comes to search engine optimization. Pretty much any links to and from a site can be effective in increasing that site’s appearance. 

Ultimately I would recommend what I discussed in this page. Using tags to increase keyword searches and linking to/from other sites to increase traffic and search engine results.
