As you may have noticed, the title of my blog today has been designed to make it more "searchable." After our discussion in class today about SEO (search engine optimization) I realized the importance of titles and keywords on the internet. I want the internet spiders to be able to find me when someone looks for "Multimedia Production Skills" or simply my name -- and the best way to do so is by writing clear and direct titles. No walls or speed bumps between the Google search engine and my site! In class we played around with the Google AdWords, a tool that give you keyword suggestions for a specific site. For example, when I put the AU SOC homepage into this engine, it suggested "film school" as the best keyword.
Here are things that makes my site special. As we discussed in class as a blog, this site has three defining characteristics:
1)frequency of updates -- as you can see, I update my blog weekly!
2)comments -- I welcome comments on my blog, and I comment on other blogs.
3)hyperlinks -- I have included a hyperlink in this post to the Google keyword application
Well, I am off to enjoy the weekend now but I will be sure to update you on class next Friday!

Haha I like that you incorporated the SEO stuff we talked about in class today right into your blog with the title!
ReplyDelete(I actually tried google searching it, but it turns out there's a lot more Laura Olson's in the world than you might expect...) Either way, I still think it was a clever idea :]
Well said. Now, you just need to get lots of people to link to your post and soon you'll be an SEO sensation!
