Here I am at Day 4 of my SEO Case Study. In here I document what I do, what I learn and how I plan on bringing a test account to a high page authority so that my clients can benefit from it.

Hive account@ucluelet is the account on which I am testing my SEO knowledge and methodology. I don't fully know the end game to this. To me it is a fun project that gets me to write. The end goal, of course, is the have an account that would be instrumental in helping my clients rank on the SERP.

What's New?

Alexa Ranking of Steemit as of this morning is 3,877
My Hive account@cryptoctopus account has now a Page Authority of 43
Hive account@ucluelet still has a Page Authority of 1
Steemit.com has now a Domain Authority of 67

There is some automation that I want to do in order to increase the amount of backlinks to my Hive account@ucluelet account. For that, 2 days ago I ordered a gig on fiverr to open the 50 accounts that I can plug into OnlyWire.

So at this point, I am waiting for her to finish the job in order to fully take advantage of OnlyWire.

I am also waiting for the approval on a DoFollow blog related to surfing...it was supposed to take a couple days but it's been 3. I can't wait to start talking surf with guys and have a free DoFollow link on every conversation I have.

Another thing that I have been doing with my Hive account@ucluelet account is to find articles on steemit.com about Ucluelet, Tofino or British Columbia. I try to start a conversation and participate to the discussion. I may be misled but from what I am able to gather, every-time we comment, we send a link back to our account.

What I Did Yesterday

1. Update Hive account@ucluelet "About" for specific keywords that I am targeting
2. Submit an article: https://steemit.com/travel/@ucluelet/top-5-relaxing-things-to-do-in-ucluelet
3. Added to Ucluelet Trello Board: https://trello.com/b/cbFUpjnZ/ucluelet-british-columbia
4. Create Youtube Account and Verified It
5. Created a Facebook Page and filled up the About Section: https://www.facebook.com/pg/Fans-Of-Ucluelet-132859040636684/about/
6. Used OnlyWire to Autopost account Hive account@ucluelet to my five basic social media profiles.
7. Setup my Twitter Profile: https://twitter.com/YourUcluelet

QUESTION:

Do You Think The Number Of Followers And Comments Could Contribute to SEO Rankings?

Here is what I am thinking. Everytime someone comments on your account, he is adding a link in his "comment" tab of his profile. Also, when one click on the # of "followers" in the profile page, these are all DoFollow links internally.

How much do you think the act of commenting and following/having followers can affect one's page SEO?
