I started editing by focusing on my pages that didn\u2019t have many of my SEO words. Most of my blog and writing samples have good SEO content, but my about statement needed some improvement. My keyword density report showed that my original about statement had 1 SEO word (0.5% of my words), so I made sure to add a couple more of my keywords, like book and travel, to meet the 1% threshold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I then went into my photo galleries. I had gained a few comments about how I could enlarge the photos so that readers could see them better. I couldn\u2019t find how to enlarge one photo at a time, so instead I went and did 2 columns of photos, so all the photos became enlarged and would be seen more intimately. Also, for my galleries, I went back in and added captions to the photos. I gathered the New York Art gallery so quickly that I never added captions. These are important so that my readers can understand what they are looking at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then I went and used the techniques from this article <\/a>by MasterClass about how to self-edit. You’re probably thinking, \u201cBrooke, aren\u2019t you an English major? Shouldn\u2019t you be good at grammar and editing?\u201d I\u2019m going to respond with yes, I believe I\u2019m above the average person when it comes to grammar or editing. However, I\u2019m not perfect, and I sometimes look at my work too objectively, which clouds my judgment, so taking the time to slow down and line edit or read my articles aloud is perfectly ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Going back to SEO content, I didn\u2019t feel the need to incorporate too many of my keywords into the articles. My keyword density report did show I have used a lot of my keywords in my articles already. But I have over a million words on this portfolio, and each article should have around 1-2% of it being keywords. I combined all my blog posts and articles to do my keyword density report, so even though it shows I only have about 0.01% of my words are keywords, I believe every article has about 1-2% of keywords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Editing this website has probably been the easiest part of the entire process because editing is something I tend to excel at. I also didn\u2019t have to rush to put out new content. I got to slow down and really look at how I\u2019ve put together this website, and I got to reflect on how far I\u2019ve come this semester. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I started editing by focusing on my pages that didn\u2019t have many of my SEO words.
