I didn't employ anything special as far as SEO goes for my blog. I took a unique approach and named my blog something witty because I really can't spell entrepreneurship for the life of me.
My key words are "Erica," "Rego," and "Entrepreneurship." I chose them because those are the words most present in my blog. Also, my name is fairly uncommon so there's no confusion with another Erica Rego's Entrepreneurship blog.
I did not employ social media with my blog. My social media is strictly professional and reflective of my personality and brand. Not that entrepreneurship isn't part of my brand, I just know what my "following" wants to see from my social media outlets and it's definitely not this.
My most viral post was My Entrepreneurship Story: The Erica Bow. I believe it got the most traffic because it included real pictures of my product and it was one of my longer, more detailed posts.
Yes I did make it as the first listing on Google when you search my keywords!
I think it is really smart that you used your name as a keyword. It is essential in the business world to get your name out there because it improves business and goodwill on your name. I also think it is really funny that you didn't include entrepreneurship in the name of the blog because it is hard to spell. I also try to avoid using the word or I use spell check on it every time I do!

Erica, great post. You thoroughly answered all of the questions and it seems like you have an understanding of search optimization. I read a few articles online about this topic and there's a lot of interesting stuff out there teaching you tricks to get more views and to gain more attention on the internet. I didn't realize the complexity of it all, but I feel like I have a better understanding of it after this course.
