It’s very easy to become a little self-absorbed when you first start a blog.
- You want to write things that people like.
- You want followers.
- You want to be discovered.
- You want loads of comments and shares, to prove popularity.
Sure, there are blogs that manage to achieve that kind of fame and notoriety… but it’s not easy.
We all have to start somewhere, and like most of you will have been taught from birth, good manners count for a lot. In life, we have that etiquette to follow. We know about out pleases and thank yous. Respecting others. showing compassion and humility.
It’s the same in the Blogosphere.
Except here you have Blogiquette to learn.
It’s not much different to what you do in real life, but obviously, it’s via the interweb, so you need a few tweaks!
You don’t want to be known as the pompous one who thinks they are better than everyone, so, here are the 7 Rules of Blogiquette I think are important to be a considerate, and polite blogger.
- If someone has taken the time to comment on a post of yours, be sure to acknowledge, and reply back. There’s nothing worse than leaving a comment, and not even getting a smiley face back, if not a response! Equally, if you want comments, make the effort to read and comment on other bloggers posts. Building that rapport is essential.
- This one may be kinda hard at the beginning, but don’t think that following for follows is a good idea. Soon enough you’ll have a thousand blogs clogging up your reader, and possibly your email account, and there is no way you can really read even half that many blogs regularly! Then you are faced with the awful task of (shock horror!) unfollowing because it got too much! (Been there done that, got the tee-shirt and wrote the post!). And just because you follow someone, there is no guarantee they will follow you back. They say that if you have even 10% of your followers liking your post, you’re doing great! I have nearly 5000 WP followers and yet my highest amount of likes has never hit more than 150 on a single post, and that is very rare… and nowhere near my 10%! Follow blogs you find interesting, inspiring, individual. You are more likely to build the rapport that your Blogily needs by following and interacting with blogs like these.
- Sometimes you read a post but don’t comment, because you don’t have anything to add to a discussion. At least ‘like’ the post so the blogger knows you read and appreciated the time and effort they put into the post. I have to do this often, as I simply cannot comment on all the posts I read. My ‘like’ is not an empty one, it is an acknowledgement!
- If you write a post after reading something that inspired you on another post, do the courtesy of crediting that blogger. Link back to their original post, and acknowledge that an idea sprouted from reading something they read. There is nothing more humbling for a blogger than reading a post that was inspired by something they wrote, but if they aren’t referred to, then they’ll never know they did that.
- If someone takes the time to reblog your post, or you find out they ‘pressed’ you, take the time to thank them for the share. It doesn’t take up too much time, in fact, WP will email you if you are reblogged, so there is no excuse for missing them. A simple message of thanks acknowledges the fact that they have appreciated your work enough to repost it!
- Once you get started with blogging, you may write a guest post on another blogger’s space. It is a big thing for a blogger to happily allow someone else to take control of their blog for a post. Write with respect, and make sure you follow the comments on that post so you can answer and thank people for reading you over on another blog! Reblog that post on yours by all means but try to shut the comments on your reblog, so the dialogue happens on your guest post!
- And finally, a biggie. Try not to link drop in comments! It’s probably one of the biggest bug-bears for a lot of bloggers I know. We all want to be able to showcase our posts, but by typing, “Hi! Nice Post! Here’s mine!” followed by a random link, is usually a surefire way to end up either in the spam bin, or getting your comment deleted! You find some bloggers run threads where you can leave links, that is fine. There are times when you read something that resonates, and maybe you wrote something yourself previously that would interest the blogger who wrote it. Comment on their post and maybe ask, if they’d like to read something you wrote that may be of interest to them. Alternatively, send it by their ‘Contact Me’ page, so it goes to their mailbox, rather than in the comments.
And there you have it!
These are the rules I try to live by. Things I have learned as I have established myself on the blogging circuit, and I don’t think I have offended anyone so far!
I’m sure others operate with different thoughts in mind. If you have anything to add, please let me know!
Have a wonderful Monday!
But I Smile Anyway...

I agree with all of these Sis. It is sometimes just the small things such as someone liking a post that means a lot. I too don’t get chance to comment on every post I read but I always leave an acknowledgement.
Another thing you touched on as the follow for follow. I used to think I had to follow everyone that followed me, but couldn’t keep up!
The best bit of advice is to just be genuine in whatever you blog about, or where commenting and visiting other blogs. 🙂

Well, Ritu, you nailed this one judging by your 8000 comments! You bring up very important points. I had to quit following so many people, or at least disable the email for many, and hopefully I can catch up in the reader. I always “like” at the very minimum, and if someone “likes” my post, I try to click to see what there post is about. Sometimes we cannot get to very comment and blogger to acknowledge, but with people I have good relationships with, I try to catch up with their posts when possible!

This came at a poignant time, Ritu. I’ve been off sick for a week and my comments had gone unanswered! Luckily today I’ve been through everyone (I think?) and replied to them all. Still, I think a week is too long and I felt rather guilty!
It’s interesting you mention your ‘like’ not being empty… It’s a sign you’ve read and enjoyed a post, but didn’t have anything else to add. This is something I tend to struggle with as I feel leaving a ‘like’ is ungenuine, yet I never think that about anyone simply ‘liking’ my post; it’s only a guilt I place on myself as a reader.
Great post, as always, Ritu! Lots to think about 🙂

So apt in this blogworld. I hardly ever leave comments as I have too many blogs to read (and I am way behind in my reading by the way as I follow 1000 people). I usually read in my email and then come on wordpress just to press like as an acknowledgement that I have read and like the post. As for acknowledging comments sometimes it is tough because wordpress does not always notify you. I chanced upon comments which were left unanswered for months because I was not notified but all of a sudden a new comment took me back to that post.

WONDERFUL, Ritu. Even on blogs I visit, it feels icky to read “Please read my blog” then xyz-link – like asking for an invite to a dinner party. I never click on those links because I don’t want to encourage the practice.
It’s hard for a new blogger to understand, but most of us really don’t WANT to engage with the kind of so-called follower who seems me-me-me obsessed with the growth of statistics, likes, page views or whatever. The best part of blogging and the blogging community is developing a COMMUNITY. The rest follows from there (just not overnight – but it sure lasts longer).
In my six years of blogging, commenting almost every single day, I’ll bet I’ve left only about 10 links in total — to articles that directly relate to the blogger’s post or answering their questions. I’m trying to be helpful – not to get traffic. I hope that the blogger will pop over to read, even if they delete my comment or my link once they do, and never let me know with a like or a comment.
Just like getting those dinner party invites, if you invite others they will sometimes (but not always) invite you back. In the blogosphere that means link to THEM as content related to your article.

Unfortunately, there are bloggers who do not respond to the comments that were made on their blog.

Nope – I think that you pretty much covered everything. I have only ever blocked one Comment, and that was due to unacceptable language. The Blogosphere does seem to be a generally thoughtful and courteous place, and your Post will help to keep it that way. Good one Ritu. 🙂
