Blog Commenting TACTICS! - How to Get More Than 200visitors/Comment?

There are great possibilities for driving good numbers of traffic to your blog by commenting on high-profile blogs.And, Blog commenting can be an extremely powerful technique for building traffic to your website.

Unfortunately, most bloggers underestimate the value of blog commenting. Not only can commenting bring you lots of extra exposure it’s also an excellent way to start building relationships with other bloggers.

And these relationships can lead to guest posting opportunities, backlinks, interviews, and more.

What to be aware of when blog commenting

There are some things you must keep in mind to optimize your comment ability to drive great number of traffic to your blog.

Optimize exposure for most clicks

* To drive traffic you must comment on a high-profile blog that normally has lots of readers / RSS subscribers / commenters.

* You must comment on the latest post as soon as possible after it is published. If you do that you will expose your comment to thousands of people who are going to read the post.

* You must be an early commentator. The earlier you are, more exposure you are going to get. Not many people are going to read 50 comments from the same blog post. Aim to be in top 5 comments or so.

Provide value to grab attention

* Don’t just comment for the sake of it. Only write a comment if you like the post and if you have something relevant and interesting to say.

* Write a quality comment that creates value and grabs the attention of readers. Add something substantial to your comment. Add your thoughts about the post, provide additional information from your personal experience or from a post you have on your blog.

Brand your comments for long-term benefits

* Brand your comment by using same name, same avatar, same URL and same signature. This should be consistent with your social media profiles. Consistent marketing will build relationships to your blog. When people continue seeing your name repeated in comments sections of blogs and your comments are useful and interesting, it will make them wonder who the person writing is and will get them to click over to your blog.

Now imagine if you do this consistently on several high-profile blogs you could drive
some serious traffic to your blog and build invaluable relationships with your fellow
bloggers.

 

I like your point about branding yourself with your avatar. This is something I need to work on. I tend to use mine sometimes, and other times I don't. I use on one the other IM forum I'm active on, but not here. I often don't use it when blog commenting as well.

So, thanks for pointing this out. Something I need to work on.

 

thank you Elle Holder ...

 

I've done blog commenting on an extremely, extremely BULK trial. Probably in excess of 20k comments, manually over a couple years. The result = very very little direct traffic, but the back links have been valuable.

 

you have some nice points there.

however unless you do it in bulk you would hardly see any traffic surge.

 

Great post, nice one!

 

This is actually a good post.

 

I didn't think anyone commented for traffic anymore. Just easy high-PR backlinks.

 

my blog has no comment at all lol. do you know why?

 

Your blog evolvingme.com looks to me very much like an auto blog. Am I right?
How are you ranking with it in the serps? I bet not too good because if it is an autoblog so google doesn't appreciate the dupe content of articles that are on probably hundreds of other autoblogs as well. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Now provided all articles are really written by yourself and it is no autoblog, so you probably need to do some marketing to drive more readers. More readers or blog followers will also mean more comments. But instead of having articles about acne treating and about credit cards on the same page I would consider going for a very few main categories/subjects they are not so widely spread and that you can write about. Also you might look into blogging about something not everyone else already is blogging about. Gosh buddy, do you have any idea how many blogs are out there with articles about acne or credit cards and loans and whatever pretty much everybody thinks could draw visitors? That really doesn't draw anybody to comment on anymore. Don't you have any hobbies, interests that you could write about? Make the blog more personal and forget about all the adsense and stuff for a while and get traffic, recurring traffic and followers and then try to make money with advertisements. Build a relationship with your visitors first, before you will try to sell them any services or products.
Another way to get comments is you to make your blog a dofollow blog but then be aware of the spam that you will have to filer out. I didn't check if your blog is wordpress but if it is so you could install the commentluv and keywordluv plugins.

Nothing to ad but a THUMB UP for this post! Good Job!
I just wished people would follow those rules instead of spamming blogs.

 

Nice post, I've only been posting for PR backlinks but you got a point there.
If i get in to the top 5 posts there are some chanses of exposure, though they are verry small.

 

I don't think the chances of exposure are that slim if you get under the first 5 or even 10 comments. It all depends the comments/discussion that the post sparks.
A lot depends on if you really leave a link to a site that is the same niche as the blog is. Of course, I didn't see much traffic to our shop for home and garden decor coming from seo blogs where I occasionally read the posts and leave a comment for PR in the paste but from blogs they meet our niche, I surely see some traffic. Even if people might just wanting to check out the site, there is always the potential of those people to bookmark it and to come back and maybe to generate a sale at a later time.
I noticed an increase of direct traffic to our shop since we concentrated more link building with niche related blogs and forums than at the begin of our link building journey when we just were trying to get a backlink from wherever.

Sometimes it's really hard to deal with this. Especially if your website is related to the blog that you're going to post a comment. Since blogs are moderated by the owner. Even if your comments are usefully they tend to disapproved it.

 

Some might but as per my experience most don't - unless your site or like in my case our shop would be a direct competitor and "threat" to them. I always check out the blogs and sometimes attached shops and check what they are selling. If it is pretty much the same stuff we are selling too, so no, I don't even bother leaving a comment there because even if they wouldn't delete the comment so they for sure will disable the link. I don't have that much time to waste and just go on. During the past few months we built a pretty nice list of blogs where we comment and we know the comments usually get approved.
Also I have noticed there are some blog owners they only accept or enable links to other bloggers. This doesn't make sense to me but well, if they want handle it that way so power with 'em.

You can use Google Blog Search to help you learn of new posts. You can get an email alert for every new post relevant to your search term.
Hope this helps.

 

I don't believe commenting for traffic, unless the blog is about very same niche. Otherwise commenting is only because of backlinks.

 

very nice points shared. Thanks for all your effort to put together these points.

Cheers.

 

Very good post, something that I have been doing for years, just to add to it I subscibe to the RSS feed of top 10 blogs in whatever niche I am working in then, as soon as a new post is made I can make a relevant comment that way I am always near the top.
