Previously, I have discussed using a feed reader to find on topic blogs to do that and then taking part in the conversation. You can read about that in a previous post at “Finding blogs to comment on“. Sometimes it can be hard to find quality blogs that are on topic to comment on. Here is another way to find great blogs to interact with that doesn’t need to take all of your time. Before we continue first this warning. When blog commenting actually take part in the conversation and add value to the post you are commenting on. Don’t stop by and leave crap. If you don’t add value no one is going to follow your comment back to your blog. You may get a backlink but most bloggers that can actually help you get new readers will spam your comment. I definitely will. Smart bloggers are active on Twitter and tend to share other bloggers quality posts. You can use this to your advantage to find great new blogs to take part in the conversation. Here is how you can add this to your arsenal of tools and not take all of your time. After all we all have limited time. First you should be using a Twitter app that allows you to create filters like Tweet Deck does. (At least as long as Twitter keeps allowing it, but that is another topic.) When you find a quality blog, follow that person on Twitter and put them in a special column so it is easy to see what they are mentioning. Take a few minutes a couple of times a day to go visit the blogs they are mentioning if the title interests you. Here is where your titles are important. After all you are only going to check out the titles that catch your attention. Make sure your titles are catching others attention too. If you like the post and can add to, take the time to comment on it. Retweet it to your followers. Add that person to your Twitter followers and to your special column. Now you can see what that person is retweeting and if they point you to quality posts you keep them in your special column. If not or if they are posting crap (it happens) just remove them. Do this on a regular basis and you will gradually expand your reach and be surprised at some of the things you will find and how rapidly you can expand your reach. As long as you are adding value with your comments, this can be a very effective way to attract more readers and find people to network with that are in your niche. A few minutes a day can greatly expand your reach. How do you find blogs to comment on? Leave a comment and let me know.
