Greetings from Rochester NY!

We are taking this down-time to work on our website; CDRochester.org.

It uses Wordpress, and we recently turned on the AOI-SEO (All-in-one Search-Engine-Optimization) options.

So, now we have to put in terms that will increase our presence in search results for potential new ECD and contradancers.

I am soliciting from the hive mind, ideas for these terms. So far we've come up with the groupings below.

The idea is to anticipate what people will type into a search engine when they looking for activities similar to ours.

We'd appreciate hearing about terms you've used successfully, or thoughts you have about what else might be good terms.

We also welcome any experiences, good or bad, related to SEO in general or the Wordpress AOI-SEO in particular, that you wish to share. Instruments the performers play are already listed in performer specific AOI-SEO fields.

For meta-data fields of all our events:

Participatory

Social Dance

Traditional Folk Dancing

Live Music (except the Techno/Crossover/Club contras)

No Partner Needed

For meta-data fields of our larger events:

Dance Festival

Dance Weekend

For meta-data fields of ECD events and performers:

Jane Austen Dance

Pride and Prejudice

Bridgerton

Regency

Merryton Assembly Dancers (Our demo group)

Wakefield Dancers (predecessor to our demo group)

For meta-data fields of Contra events and performers:

Modern Urban Contra - MUC

Traditional Square Dances

Techno/Crossover/Club Contra

New England Contra

Thanks - and I hope to see you on the dance floor in the not-too-distant future!
