3 Advantages To Blog Commenting
Blog commenting can help you in a number of way and today I will discuss 3 specific ways. Before I do though a bit of a caveat.
Always make sure that you are adding value to the blog where you comment and please none of this “Gee I really like your blog” crap. Take the time to actually get involved in the conversation and show that you are not just trying to grab a quick backlink.
Here are 3 of the advantages to taking your time to comment on blogs.
- Back link to your site
- Direct traffic to your site
- Exposure to your audience
Now lets look at these one at a time.
Back link to your site
When you are commenting you get to add your site into the registration box and this will create a back link to your site. Now be careful and use a name for registering because most of the better blogs will mark you as spam if you try and use anchor text instead of a name. (I will for sure on my blogs.)
Some will be using plugins like comment luv where you will get an additional link to your last post. (Like here.)
Direct traffic to your site
Some people will click through directly to your site. The better the comment you are leaving the more likely this is to happen. So the rule is add real value to the site you are commenting on and it will improve the chance you will get people checking you out.
Exposure to your audience
You should be commenting on the topics you cover on your blog and this gets you exposure to other readers that are interested in what you blog about. The more you are seen the more likely people are to see you as someone that know the topic and you are on your way to becoming a trusted resource.
So there are 3 advantages to commenting on blogs. Done right as part of your normal marketing plan blog commenting can help you build a following for your blog.
