It’s important to do some planning before you decide on your blog categories. You want to stay broad, yet relevant. You don’t want to end up with one or two posts in a category, and if you have that, you’ve either not written many posts or you have a category that is probably doesn’t represent what your blog is all about.

For example, we write a lot about Star Wars here on Bit Rebels, but having a Star Wars category would be a bit too narrow for us. Instead, we choose a category appropriate for Star Wars, which could also encompass many other similar topics. That category is called “Geek.”

We have 8 one-word blog categories here on Bit Rebels, and for us, that is the perfect number. Each of our 8,814 articles fits nicely into one of those categories. I would recommend that you have as few categories as possible. I found a very helpful article about this that was written back in 2008, and it’s still relevant today. You can find it at How To Choose Categories For Your Blog on ProBlogger.

Also important is the hosting company that you use to house your blog. Without it, you have no blog to add your categories to. Some of the best ones can be found here.

If you are just starting your blog, you might still be flexible about what kind of content you’ll produce. In that case, it might be helpful to know what some of the most popular blog categories are according to Google. This information was derived using the Google “allintitle” Operator (thanks to Wpromote). Tomorrow I will be publishing a follow-up article about how to use the Google “allintitle” Operator to extract all kinds of valuable information. Enjoy!

    So, besides just having an article directory and a news/current events blog that contains most of these categories, is there any other way to encompass most all of these in a general type blog? It may seem like a silly question, but it’s still a legitimate one.

    Great insight. Has this chart changed much in the last four years?

    Hi! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
    My site looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone.
    I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this
    issue. If you have any suggestions, please share.
    With thanks!

    Really interesting article to read and curious facts too. I’ve always thought travel-related topics are more popular than the real estate-ones.

    I think that everything published made a ton of sense.
    However, consider this, what if you typed a catchier title?
    I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, but suppose
    you added a post title that grabbed people’s attention? I mean The Most Popular Blog Categories According To
    Google [Chart] | Bit Rebels is kinda boring. You could glance at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create news headlines to grab
    people to click. You might add a video or a pic
    or two to grab readers interested about everything’ve written. Just
    my opinion, it could bring your website a little bit more interesting.
