IndiBlogger is one of the top platforms for Indian bloggers to meet and share their passion with no bounds. We’ve already seen how IndiBlogger can change the life style of a normal blogger in the past. This wonderful platform allow bloggers share summarized articles with links. Each article submitted is to be categorized under one from the list along with the article link, summary of the article, post title and custom tags.
It is a nice idea to categorize posts in IndiBlogger so that fellow bloggers can easily find the post links from that particular category instead of digging it from the hump. Though there are a lot of categories available to post into, bloggers are finding it hard to post into a bit inappropriate categories yet similar. Let’s take a look at the current categories and see why more categories are needed in IndiBlogger.
Every category is sub-categorized in IndiBlogger. For example, ‘Computers & IT’ category is sub-categorized into Blogging, Design, Gadgets, Gaming, Hardware, Programming, Social Media, Software, Startups, Tech News.
When posting articles like ‘How to protect your computer from Bladabindi virus’, I didn’t find any such categories suitable for it. Instead I posted it under ‘Tech News’ with out any other option.
In the same way, when posting articles like ‘Google Local Search Algorithm Update July 2014 Slashes Global Queries’, I didn’t find any suitable category related to SEO but blogging.
There are some other kind of posts which are needed to be posted under different categories instead of the categories I posted them under.
In sub-categories under ‘Computers & IT’, there is a need to add categories related to computer security, internet, network security and SEO(as SEO is not just limited to blogging).
Also under ‘Business’, there available only limited sub-categories which are inappropriate to post into. While posting an article about business development, they are convinced to be posted under ‘Marketing & Advertising’ which is similar but inappropriate.
New Categories for business development and home businesses are to be set up in order to categorize them at their best.
technically speaking, adding more categories will also decreases the bounce rate of a category for great extent.

What is the need for adding new categories?
There is an essential need for adding new categories in IndiBlogger. Bloggers would like to navigate through particular content they wish to read. It would be inconvenient to cope among the inappropriate articles in that category.technically speaking, adding more categories will also decreases the bounce rate of a category for great extent.
What about custom tags?
Custom tags might help you say what the post is about. Better to use keywords in the article to let know people of what you are trying to express. Even they are not shown in ‘Posted under’ family of categories.
Final word
IndiBlogger is a great platform for Indian bloggers. It educates, inspires, motivates bloggers together. The flexibility of options to share the passion should not get frozen rigid by these little aspects. Hope one of the IndiBlogger heads notice this flaw and come up with better and simpler solution.Do you have an IndiBlogger account? are you happy with the current list of categories in it? share your thoughts about it in comments below.
