The 5 Most-Viewed #Bloggab Transcripts of 2013

Last Updated on July 22, 2018

Bloggab is a weekly Twitter chat every Tuesday night at 9pmET, and focuses on personal blogging. You can find transcripts for previous editions here.

Bloggab, my weekly Twitter chat dedicated to personal blogging, is approaching its first anniversary in a few weeks, but before we celebrate that milestone, I wanted to check the transcripts to see which ones received the most reads in 2013.

The Bloggab community is small but growing, and there’s always interesting discussion each week, which you’ll see if you read any of these.

Incidentally, every second Tuesday of the month is our “Open Mic”&nbsp edition, which means that there’s no set topic, allowing you to ask questions and network with some of your fellow bloggers.

Now on to the top five of 2013:

1. Bloggab #1: How It All Began

Bloggab began with a look back at hour our blogs began and what we hoped to accomplish with them.

2. Bloggab #10: Things Every Blog Should Have

This was a great chat about things we as readers come to expect at every blog we visit. We came up with several key ingredients to make a good, reader-friendly blog. How many of the items we came up with are included in your blog?

3. Bloggab #19: SEO for Blogs

SEO is always a hot topic when it comes to blogging, because there’s always a lot of confusion about how best to capitalize on search engine optimization opportunities. Dan Morris of Blogging Concentrated gave some valuable advice and answered questions on this one.

4. Bloggab #38: Searching for the Perfect Post

Is there such a thing as a “perfect post”? Perhaps it depends on whom you ask. But perhaps there are things we as bloggers can do to reach a higher level of quality with the posts we do write, and that was the topic of that week’s chat.

5. Bloggab #5: Ideas for Boosting Comments

Comments can be the most sought-after and most elusive of rewards for blogging; they require a great deal of the reader, much more work and effort than simply reading the post. If you believe some stats I’ve seen, a blogger should expect that only about 10% of readers will comment at all, which makes them even more elusive than most might think. This chat focused on ways to attempt to encourage more readers to join the conversation.

I hope you’ll join us for a future edition of #Bloggab!
