Commenting on Blogs Is A Must – Just Do It The Right Way!
Blog commenting can make a pretty big difference in helping you connect to your readers. Apparently, 90% of the newbies relate blog commenting to simply spamming. They go so far as to write a generic, crappy comment on someones blog in order to get a link. It is actually laughable to see how much effort people put into leaving mass-created junk comments on websites, hoping that they would get past Akismet.
The thing which is more interesting is that the links (URLs) in the spammy comments never point to a valid internet resource. Instead, even the link happens to be junk. I tried following them and received a 404 error.
For people who think blog commenting is an easy way to get a backlink and tons of traffic, I have news: IT ISNT. Do not approach this method as a way to get rich quickly. It will not happen.
Blog comments are used mainly to grab your target audiences attention and portray yourself as an expert in your niche. This way, you can actually get them on your website and make sales.
But there is a catch to it (as there is to everything in life): Your comments should be valuable and insightful. If they are not, your comments will not be productive towards your needs. If you post a generic comment such as the one below:
Nice post! I really liked it! I will come back to this website again!
in the hopes of getting links to their websites without a lot of effort, your efforts will not be fruitful. More than 80% of the comments I receive on my blog are similar to the ones above, and I see no reason to accept them.
So if you want to comment on blogs, make sure you do the following:
1. Only comment on blogs related to your niche and target audience.
2. If you have nothing good to say, do not blabber. You do not need to comment on everything.
3. Only provide useful comments, which show that you know at least something about the topic at hand.
4. Leave a link on another person’s blog only when you are sure it makes sense to do so.
And please! Stop with the blog commenting scripts!
