@CTrappeChristoph Trappe

In the days of @EasternIowaNews it was all word of mouth. Digital

and offline. Over 100K visitors in nine months. #bloggab

@CTrappeChristoph Trappe

Find your niche, advocates and provide value. The news should

spread of what you are offering. #bloggab

@patricksplacePatrick Phillips

Most of us, when we think of marketing, likely think of two things: SEO

& social media. #bloggab


How about creating a consistent blogging schedule? Anyone found

success by setting a schedule in place? #bloggab

@JoeBugBusterSteve Case

Wow - I've been at every single #BlogGab ever! ;-) @patricksplace


If you can establish a regular schedule when your readers know you'll

post, that can help! #bloggab

@NHDaveHDave Herndon

I also posted every Mon-Wed-Fri in addition to any "bonus blogs"

throughout the week. #bloggab


My blog had a 20% increase since I started a set daily topic schedule.

But it doesn't have to be DAILY. #bloggab


.@Roezer So one way around that: when you write 2 posts, publish

one, schedule the next the following day or week. #bloggab


I started using "topic buckets" idea...specific topic area same day each

week. Also lets you stockpile posts easier, too. #bloggab


Another very valuable way of marketing your blog for free:

COMMENTS. Allowing them, responding to them, leaving them!

#bloggab


How do you do with comments? #bloggab


I use the native #WordPress comment system. Anyone can comment,

and Akismet keeps it clean. #BlogGab


Do you encourage people to comment? RT @MargColebeck: I seem

to only get spam comments though. Its quite depressing. #bloggab


I used to get a lot of comments, but they were all from the same two

people. I did respond to every one though. #bloggab


Asking questions of your readers is a commonly-suggested way of

eliciting a comment. #bloggab

7/29/2019 Blog Gab



Moderating comments generally is regarded as a bad idea because it

removes "immediacy" from the conversation! #bloggab

@MargColebeckMag Colebeck

Like in the blog content? @patricksplace: Do you encourage people to

comment? #bloggab


I've also been using Youtube to promote my blog. I do a lot of video,

and have been posting the link back to posts for people (1/2) #bloggab


(2/2) that find the video on Youtube, but maybe didn't see the blog post

on my site. #bloggab


.@MargColebeck Yes. Asking a question at the end of a post and

encouraging people to leave a comment in response. #bloggab

@RoezerRoezer

When to close comments #bloggab


Great idea! MT @NHDaveH: Ive been using Youtube to promote my

blog. I do a lot of video, & have been posting link back to blog

#bloggab


Why close them at all? RT @Roezer: When to close comments

#bloggab


.@NHDaveH Do you feel that YouTube is helping you get readers to

your blog? #bloggab

@profkrgKenna Griffin

Thoughts on that? @patricksplace: Asking questions of your readers

is a commonly-suggested way of eliciting a comment. #bloggab


I do, posted some old videos with links and old posts got more clicks

than normal MT @patricksplace Do you feel that is helping you

#bloggab

@audaciousladyNathasha Alvarez

having a fb fan page for ur blog has helped one of my sites as well and

that's free #bloggab


.@profkrg I have set topics for set days; if "big" story happens, I post

immediately but still post something else on normal day #bloggab


Though not as much as I'd like. RT @patricksplace: .@NHDaveH Do

you feel that YouTube is helping you get readers to your blog?

#bloggab


Check out Dave's YouTube success story! RT @NHDaveH: I do,

posted old videos with link: old posts got more clicks than normal

#bloggab


I do a pop culture blog, what topics do you all blog on? #bloggab

@patricksplace

Patrick Phillips

Have to avoid seeming trite in questions, but it can work. MT @profkrg:

Thoughts on asking questions of your readers. #bloggab

@BLOGBloke

Blog Bloke (BB)

.. lots :) @MargColebeck Got any great one-liners for us this week? ;)

#bloggab


.@VanayeHamilton Keeping comments open means people always

feel you want their opinion. Can be a turnoff to find closed comments.

#bloggab


I have one of those too, but only friends "like" it so far. RT

@JoeBugBuster: @audaciouslady A Facebook page for your blog?

#bloggab

7/29/2019 Blog Gab



I've read positive things about putting a blog link in your email

signature. #bloggab


Good idea. RT @profkrg: Ive read positive things about putting a blog

link in your email signature. #bloggab


I did that, but I'm not sure if its helped RT @profkrg: Ive read positive

things about putting a blog link in your email signature. #bloggab


Only worry with a blog link in email signature is whether you blog about

people you email. :) #bloggab


Compelling posts? :) RT @profkrg: @patricksplace @audaciouslady

@joebugbuster I get little traffic from my FB page. Not sure why.

#bloggab


Interacting with your commenters builds a sense of community. It

makes your commenters WANT to come back. #bloggab


.@Roezer How would it be a turnoff? #bloggab


I noticed that if there is a picture on my fb fan page with the link to the

new post, people tend to like it more and go read #bloggab


my business cards have my websites on them #bloggab


I'm in the process of getting those magnetic signs to put on the side of

my car ;) #bloggab that's less than $100


How about Twitter. How many of you are tweeting when you make a

new post? #bloggab


People love visuals MT @audaciouslady People are more likely to

click through to a blog post from FB if an IMAGE appears with link!

#bloggab

@iHiredMemiss donna

i do, sparingly. RT @patricksplace: How about Twitter. How many of

you are tweeting when you make a new post? #bloggab


Every time! RT @patricksplace: How about Twitter. How many of you

are tweeting when you make a new post? #bloggab

@RoezerRoezer

Comments from other #bloggers normal people #bloggab


.@profkrg @patricksplace how can you tell if your traffic comes from

twitter? #bloggab

@NHDaveH

Dave Herndon

Bare minimum I tweet the link, but most of the time I'll do directed

tweets at people/accounts that are likely to retweet as well. #bloggab

@iHiredMe

miss donna

Google generates the most traffic for each of my blogs, followed by

FB. #bloggab


Google Analytics can show sources. RT @audaciouslady: .@profkrg

@patricksplace how can you tell if your traffic comes from twitter?

#bloggab

@gritandglamourGrit & Glamour

Exactly! @patricksplace: Interacting with your commenters builds a

sense of community. It makes your commenters WANT to come back.

#bloggab

7/29/2019 Blog Gab



How often do you tweet for each blog post? Some say you should

tweet each link 3-5 times at different times of day. #bloggab


I tweet new posts once, then RT any shares. #bloggab


That's about how much I tweet them. I think 3-5 times is enough MT

@patricksplace: How often do you tweet for each blog post? 3-5?

#bloggab


Great point! RT @JoeBugBuster: @audaciouslady Click-through could

be measured if I used a special link @patricksplace @profkrg

#bloggab


we live in a society where we want instant knowledge. a magnetic on

my car will get them to look it up on their mobile #bloggab


Generally just once (other than directed ones), though it's more

because I'm busy than because I don't think you should. #bloggab


Idea: Create a "welcome" page for your blog. Use THAT as the link in

your email signature. See if that page gets hits on GA. #bloggab


.@audaciouslady If you're using a magnetic car sign to promote your

site, consider adding a QR Code linking to your site. #bloggab


That's a great idea. MT @audaciouslady: A magnetic on my car will

get them to look it up on their mobile #bloggab


Most don't see everything. RT @iHiredMe @gritandglamour yeah. 5x a

day can be a little much for those of us on twitter quite a bit. #bloggab


A service like BufferApp or @Crowdbooster can suggest tweet times

you're most likely to be seen. Use those times. #bloggab

@RoezerRoezer

Reinventing your blog #bloggab


Tweet a new post throughout the day. Say, 9am, 12 noon, 3pm, 5pm,

9pm. That's 5 times, but likely with different audiences. #bloggab


I've used the free version of BufferApp. I use HootsuitePro and

@Crowdbooster currently. #bloggab


Nice thing about HootsuitePro: you can schedule posts on Twitter, FB,

LinkedIn & G+ pages. #bloggab


At least they are being seen RT @JoeBugBuster: @gritandglamour

Some tweet their links all day, every day. Obnoxious. @patricksplace

#bloggab

@patricksplace

Patrick Phillips

You have to figure out where the line is for you. RT @JoeBugBuster:

Some tweet their links all day, every day. Obnoxious. #bloggab

@gritandglamour

Grit & Glamour

I love @hootsuite! @patricksplace: Nice thing about HootsuitePro:

you can schedule posts on Twitter, FB, LinkedIn & G+

pages. #bloggab


I haven't been able to build much of a G+ audience. I need to spend

more time with it I think. #bloggab


How about retweeting your most popular posts? Check your top 10 on

GA, then tweet a link to one once a day or so. #bloggab

7/29/2019 Blog Gab



I always promote my blog when I present. It helps drive traffic.

#bloggab


I keep hearing that blog marketing success on G+ begins with the

understanding that you're dealing with a DIFFERENT audience.

#bloggab


Every speaker at #WordCamp last weekend introduced themselves

with name, Twitter handle and website URL. #bloggab


I'm thinking that you need to dig into the communities/hang outs that

G+ offers, which is daunting for a busy person. #bloggab


.@MargColebeck Tell us a little more about G+ Communities?

#bloggab


I've abandoned G+ completely. Too complicated. @profkrg:

@NHDaveH I've just gone back to G+. It's still slow go for me.

#bloggab


I tend to post a 2-3 links the day I post a new blog, then 1-2 for a few

days. @patricksplace #BlogGab


I'm also just now starting to use my LinkedIn account. Never saw a

need for it before. But now I see a new audience. #bloggab


I'm just getting into it myself. But- you can join...RT @patricksplace:


#bloggab


or create communites. Similar to Linkedin Groups RT @patricksplace:


#bloggab


I only have 13 people in my circles. RT @DigitalKaitlyn:

@gritandglamour @profkrg @NHDaveH i +1 posts but beyond that i

dont bother #bloggab


I hear Google is being VERY slow to release an API. Making it difficult.

RT @profkrg: I wish @bufferapp would add G+. #bloggab


Hadn't even thought of that. @Roezer: @NHDaveH also many jokers

disturbing hangouts not reading description no english and so on

#bloggab


How many of you are focusing much on SEO? #bloggab


Another way I market, is that when I comment on others blogs, if the

theme fits, I leave a URL to mine. #bloggab


Also on message boards I post to, there is a link in my Sig. #bloggab

@patricksplace

Patrick Phillips

Important! RT @NHDaveH: Another way I market, is that when I

comment on others blogs, if the theme fits, I leave a URL to mine.

#bloggab

@patricksplace

Patrick Phillips

Message boards are a great way to market for free! RT @NHDaveH:

Also on message boards I post to, there is a link in my Sig. #bloggab


Also, I'm linked to several newspaper websites which helps with

search engine placement by lending me credibility. #bloggab


LOL But point is to add it where you'd introduce name only MT

@JoeBugBuster: Sounds smart, but not planning to speak at

#WorkCamp. #bloggab

7/29/2019 Blog Gab



Google message boards relating to your niche, then build a presence

there with URL in your signature. #bloggab


I do need to mention my name and my handle, because my name

really is Steve, not Joe. ;-) @patricksplace #BlogGab


Linked how? Through commenting? MT @NHDaveH: Also, Im linked

to several newspaper websites which helps w/ search engine

placement. #bloggab


I also get free pub from the paper I work at by reverse publishing some

posts as columns, and mentioning the blog in the tagline. #bloggab


Clever! MT @NHDaveH: I get free pub from paper I work at by reverse

publishing some posts as columns, mentioning blog in tagline.

#bloggab


Trying. @patricksplace: How many of you are focusing much on SEO?

#bloggab


I feel funny about LI. Keep that more like "workplace." RT @profkrg:

@NHDaveH I dont use LinkedIn as much as I probably should.

#bloggab


One easy way to work in SEO...before you publish, edit URL line to

add search keywords for topic of your post. #bloggab


Does your area have newspapers/TV stations that offer blogrolls on

their community websites? Get on there! #bloggab


Sorry. We do have some papers out there, but I don't know the people

that run the sites. MT @MargColebeck: @NHDaveH Nope Western

NY #bloggab


No one ever said the Title and URL of post must match exactly. :)

#bloggab


Think about what keywords you might use to search for the post you're

about to publish. Work those keywords into your title URL. #bloggab


Also do cutlines for photos, and fill them with SEO, they are higher

rated than regular type. #bloggab


Keeps the stalkers from my beat away from me. 50 mile drive each

way though. MT @MargColebeck: Trying to pull a fast one on me, eh?

#bloggab


.@gritandglamour But expanding SEO on your blog can help you grow

even a hobby blog. Could lead to more revenue eventually. #bloggab


Wow...so we've come to the end of the hour! That was FAST! We

talked about marketing ideas that mostly are free. #bloggab

@patricksplace

Patrick Phillips

Next week, we're talking about services we think we need enough to

consider actually (GASP) PAYING for! :) #bloggab

@patricksplace

Patrick Phillips

(And don't worry: I'm really, really cheap.) :) #bloggab


Someone should start a blog and storify these chats to keep them for

the future. #bloggab


Paying for services means you monetize the blog, right? That's a

whole 'nother topic! @patricksplace #BlogGab

Not necessarily. RT @JoeBugBuster: Paying for services means you

Glossary

7/29/2019 Blog Gab


Page 1: General Overview: This page shows at a glance the evolution and the global statistics of the session.

Statistics

Number of Tweets: Total number of Tweets sent during the session, RTs and replies included. It is shown below, a

breakdown of the types of tweets: original tweets (those containing text only) tweets with links, retweets, conversations

(tweets as part of a conversation between several users), check-ins and photos.

- Number of users: Total number of users who participated in the session using the given hashtag. It also includes userswho only sent RTs.

- Potential Impact: Number of impressions of the hashtag, which is the number of times that people could have seen the

hashtag. This is important because it tells you how many times it has been possible to visualize the hashtag. This number is

calculated by multiplying the number of followers of each user by the number of number of Tweets and adding those results.

Example: If a user sends 2 tweets and he has 100 followers, the number of impressions generated by the users would be

200. If another user sends 3 tweets and he has 50 followers, the number of impressions generated by this person would be

150 which would make a total of 350 impressions of the session.

- Potential Reach: Number of users who have been unable to see the hashtag and could have been impacted by the

hashtag. This number is calculated by adding all the followers of each user who participated in the session. Using the

previous example, if the session had 2 users, one with 100 followers and the other one with 50, the reach will be 150

followers, regardless of the number of tweets sent. IMPORTANT: both the impact and reach are 'potential' because not

everyone may have seen the hashtag and users can have other users in common.

- Average number of Tweets per user: this number is the average of Tweets sent per each user. This number is calculated

by dividing the number of tweets between the number of users who have participated. RTs included.

- Average followers per user: the average number of followers that users of the session have. This figure indicates how

influential are the participants in our session. Given that the average number of followers that a Twitter user has is about

250, you can calculate if participants in your session exceed that average. This number is calculated by dividing the sum of

followers by the number of users who have participated.

- Difference between Total Tweets and Tweets: The Total Tweets include RTs, links, replies, links and 'Tweets'.

'Tweets' are the ones containing only text.

ChaRTs

There are different types of graphs in the report Tweet Category:

Temporal Evolution: shows the time evolution of the tweets sent by users. Tweet Category takes the first and last tweet

and draws the timeline of the session. Thanks to this chart you will be able to identify the moment people tweeted the most

or the least.

Influence of Users: shows the influence of the users who participated in the session. On the vertical axis you will find the

total number of users and on the horizontal one, the number of followers of those users. As we move to the right part of the

graph you will see the users who have a greater number of followers and therefore influence. The higher the columns on the

right, the higher influence of your users.

User activity: shows the number of tweets sent by users. The vertical axis shows the number of tweets sent and the

horizontal one the number of users who have participated.

Page 2: Statistics of the categories: on this page you will find the detailed statistics for each category.

Rankings of categories:

This ranking shows which categories have reached the top 5 according to several statistics. It is interesting to note that

although a category may have a greater number of tweets that another one, it could have a minor number of impressions

(lower impact). The rankings show the categories with the highest reach, impact, number of users, number of tweets and

number of RTs.

7/29/2019 Blog Gab

17/17

ChaRTs:

Impact by category: This graph shows which category has the highest number of impressions and therefore the highest

impact.

Tweets by category Chart: This chart shows which category has the highest number of total tweets.

Users by category Chart: This chart shows which category has the highest number of users.

Table of categories:

This table shows detailed statistics for each category; these statistics are the same variables as the global statistics of the

session but applied to each of the category. Thus you can see which category gets more impact, more users, and so on. It is

worth taking a second to consider this table as very interesting conclusions can be obtained from it.

Page 3: User Rankings

Tweet Category offers different kinds of user rankings:

Most active users: the ones who tweeted the most using the hashtag. RTs included.

Most popular users: the ones who have the highest number of followers in the session.

Users with the highest impact: the ones who generated the highest number of impressions.

Most participative users: the ones who participated in more categories.

Most retweeter users: the ones who sent the highest number of RTs.

Most original users: the ones who sent the highest number of original tweets (No RTs).
