Project Description:
My fiance is a second grade teacher and has an amazing gift of coming up with ideas for her classroom that make teaching more effective and fun. I convinced her to share these ideas with the rest of the world by starting her own blog. I then put together a layout and design that fit her target audience (female teachers of primary and elementary grades). The main image of the female teacher at the top of the page is a stock illustration from iStock. I used it to somewhat keep a theme throughout the site with the colors and graphics. As for the logo…who says Comic Sans doesn’t work well any more?!
To make sure she got something in return for her hard work, I monetized the site with Google AdSense and a handful of relevant affiliate links.
The site is optimized for search engine traffic with dynamic page titles, descriptions, keyword, header tags, and more. Each article is written with keyword research to find the best words and phrases to use for optimum search engine traffic. The extra 10 minutes spent doing keyword research for each article has helped tremendously. I’m starting to think I’ve created a monster…not the site…HER!
