How to Use Blog Commenting As a Traffic Generation Tool
As we all know blog commenting can be a really great way to generate large amounts of targeted to traffic to any website or blog, in nearly any niche on the internet.
What a lot of internet marketers and blog owners struggle to understand are the basic concepts when it comes to blog commenting.
Below I will list the most important rules I have stuck by in order to see the best possible results from blog commenting as a traffic generation tool.
1.
Always make your blog comments useful and informative for the people reading them.
This means that your comment must add value to the blog owner and the blogs readers, if your blog comment doesn't add value then the chances of a click through are very slim and your efforts will be wasted.
The best way to make your comments helpful and informative is to give the readers a solution or good advice on the topic of the blog post, this way you will make the reader curious and they will click your link in order to find out more information you may have on their problem.
2.
Target your blogs very carefully.
If you do not target your blogs carefully you will be aiming at a very broad audience and that means your post may not cater for a high % of the readers.
I always try and select a blog within a sub niche to mine and really focus on their problems and offer helpful and friendly advice, this really improves the traffic generated from that comment and adds more value to the owners blog.
3.
Get yourself a free Gravatar account! When split testing this I saw a massive difference in the click through ratio on my comments, sometimes as much as 60%.
People like to see your picture and this will really help to gain the readers trust, after all they are unsure on who you are and what you website will contain.
4.
DO NOT SPAM! This is self explanatory really.
If you spam peoples blogs they will not get approved or deleted.
You link will not appear and you will be wasting your time and the blog owners time.
Add value and you will see your comments nearly always approved and bringing in traffic for years to come.
When applied correctly blog commenting can be a very rewarding traffic generation tool, use it wisely, follow these very simple steps and reap the benefits of a really powerful social media tool.
