Commenting on the blogs of others is a fantastic way to get direct traffic from quality, attract the attention of other bloggers and intelligently network with new friends and fans.
But only if you do well. And, unfortunately, many writers mistaken.
You cannot expect to leave a ding dong ditch em disposable type comment and advantage any. At best, you'll get a few curiosity clicks quickly pass traffic.
These are worth approximately nothing.
However, if you take the time to leave smart comments or contribute the sense of community, you can establish a link to your home base where you can feed the relationship, eventually adding of new regular readers and fan to your list.
Follow these three rules for extracting the most benefits of each comment that you drop:
(1) Be invited free of charge. Dive in the comments with chat, "Great post! It clearly shows that you did not read the post or the skim, at best. Worse still, it shows that you don't care or are misleading. Like denying someone looking in the eye when he speaks of them, this behavior is rude. Read the post and make a comment or make a comment at all, but are not insulting. And never, ever be pressed to make the first comment. Yes, the top comment will get more click throughs, but not from the type of traffic that is important.
(2) Be a part of the conversation. Not to divert dialogue or start a comment by debit your own nonsense. Absorb others before you say and contribute as much as possible. If you have your own thoughts, add them. But be not argumentative for the sake of caution. It is bad form and seldom carries any positive result.
(3) Be cool. Imagine you're in a coffee shop and you talk with a friend of digital cameras. Of nowhere, the guy side of you, slides his chair more, slams his hand on your table and said, Hey, I've got some Ink toner. You will love this Ink toner; It's 30% off! "You would consider him as he had three heads and two of them have been turning purple! But if the guy toed tip on and said: "you know, I heard you talk about cameras. There is this place of great camera in the street and I heard they're 30% of all devices digital photo for the next week, "would you be much more receptive to what he says because it is in direct alignment with the conversation that you have already." Take the time to observe. It makes all the difference.
All three of the above suggestions are ways of common sense, but they can go for an awful long way in the comments section.
Follow the common label and you can make each comment worth your time.
