Social Media B2B

Some milestones cannot be ignored and this is one of them. In February 2009 we published our first post here on SocialMediaB2B.com. This is now post number 500. So much has changed in that time. Both Kipp and I have gotten new jobs since then (me a few times), but we kept writing. When we found that we couldn’t dedicate enough time to the blog, we enlisted the help of contributing and guest bloggers. The site became too important sit idle.

And even when we wrote our book this past Spring and Summer, we kept publishing posts about B2B social media and marketing. The biggest lesson for B2B marketers is that blogging is about consistency. Start writing about your topic and keep writing about it no matter what gets in the way.

This seemed like a good occasion to review the top 10 posts of all time. The topics range from blogging to Twitter to Facebook. Stats posts, tool posts and predictions have also been popular. They are listed below in chronological order and there is only one post from 2011. It will be interesting to see what the most popular posts of this year are, when we do an end of year post. Everyone talks about today’s post and how people only focus on what is current, but this list shows that search is still a powerful driver of blog traffic to older posts. Popular posts are more popular with search engines too.
