Blog Categories

[Shawn Gossman]

How do you determine what categories to add to your blog?

Do you try to keep the category amount low?

Or do you add as needed?

I focus almost solely on the blogging tips category for my blog but sometimes add a travel post too - from the travel category - per reader feedback. They wanted me to cover more of my travels even though I intended for my blog to be exclusively about blogging tips. I may be due for another travel-themed post soon. We shall see.

On my hiking blog, I have a lot of categories. I'm trying to dwindle them down to have more focus on a few rather than too many.

On my blogging blog, I focus on three categories (general, marketing, and profit) with sub-categories within them.

I think that the fewer the categories, the better for organization and strategy.

What do you think?
