Relevance and Work

This week was focused on understanding the quality of our work.  We started by reviewing quality information about some of our keywords.  Then, we moved on to installing Google Analytics, which provides information about the performance of our website.  The biggest value I gained this week was about working to improve quality.  It was an opportunity to weigh the cost of evaluating quality with the benefits of knowing it.

Relevance is an importance concept for being successful.  Previously, we focused on keywords in regards to how good they are, in terms of how often they are searched for.  However, using a good keyword isn’t beneficial to me if it isn’t also relevant to me.  Using a keyword that will draw people to my site won’t help me if it isn’t a reflection of what I can offer them.  I might see an increase in traffic, but they won’t translate into customers.  Using good keywords that have relevance to the product I can provide will increase traffic of potential customers, or those who are interested in what I have to offer.

Working through the process of installing Google Analytics was very eye-opening.  It showed the amount of information that will be available to me, regardless of whether or not I actually understand it.  I quickly realized that if I want to benefit from this tool, I have a lot of learning to do.  It made it clear, however, that I have a lot of control over my success, based on the time and energy I put in to learning and working.  It’s overwhelming, but also promising in my potential for success.

Overall, the key concepts I learned this week are to be relevant, and to work as hard as I want to be successful.
