This is it! In my final post to my blog I will be reviewing the overall effectiveness of the work done here. I will go into detail about the things i did that were effective, as well as the things that were not. I will also touch on how these things go be applied to future endeavors in my professional career. I will also go into detail about some of the site analytics. From most views in a week to the effectiveness of my social media promotions all things will be discussed!
I would say the most effective tool I used was the hyperlink! While I can talk about the general ideas behind certain concepts it would take pages of info to fully understand them, therefore giving people a more in depth look after I scratched the surface was both easy and effective. I would say the least effective tools I used were the widgets. They do little for someone who was already on the site as they for the most part were just linked to my different social media accounts where all I really do is talk about the blog. I feel that I should have integrated more videos into the blog as they are a fun visual way to learn about the subjects at hand, but I feel that the promotional aspect of this semester long project has stuck with me the most. I could see myself using a blog to inform potential customers about a new feature of a product or introduce them to a field of products consumers might not even know is out there!
I never had more than one visitor in a given day. However on the week of November 26th I had eight views, which was by far my best! My most popular post was my Raids page racking up 11 views, which is my most popular post possibly due to the fact that it would be an aspect of the game with which a lot of people would need advice. I would say that little surprised me about the statistical information about my site, I promoted on twitter and I typically don’t use twitter and have almost no followers so few people saw my blog.
