Ranking

After adding all my new social media tags to my site and pushing changes up to GitHub. I decided it was time to check on my ranking......I am still number on the third page as seen below here when I google 'Creative Multimedia Programming' but I believe I have jumped up a couple of places.


When I google 'Github Creative Multimedia Programming' I am still number 1.



Url Optimization: According to Bruce Clay:

"You also want URLs to be descriptive and contain keywords, without being spammy. And shorter URLs are preferable to long URLs."

It's too late to change it now but if I were doing my site again I would have included the keywords in the name. I might look into changing it towards the end of the assignment. I feel that 'Creative Multimedia Programming' is quite a long name and I am still pushing lots of changes up to GitHub.

Bruce also says "Rather than relative URLs, use fully qualified links (http://www.domain.com). The sitemap should always have fully qualified URLs." This is new to me so I will change all the internal links in my site now to be fully qualified.

Content Freshness
I am constantly updating the content on my site at the moment.

Make JavaScript and CSS External
Both of these are external files. I don't have any Javascript at the moment but my CSS is external.

Sitewide Optimization


According to Bruce: "A site as a whole should signal expertise, authority and trust  (E-A-T) while conveying subject relevance and optimizing for search engine accessibility. The following items address this."

Contact Information

I have added contact information - phone number and email address for myself and L.I.T.

Testimonials
I just added a link to some testimonials related to the course I found online. This is quite a high ranking site in itself so hopefully this will bolster my ranking.

I also moved the nav bar to the top on both pages. I feel that it looks better. I don't know if I should add a sitemap as my site isn't very big.

Privacy Statement

I won't be using a privacy statement as I am not taking any information from the users.
