One way to gain links back to your blog is by visiting other blogs and leaving comments. This however takes time, a commodity that some people have little off to spare. It should be realized that comments do more than just create links. Commenting also exposes you and your blog to other individuals. This can lead to an increase in visitors.
- Create a list of related blogs that you enjoy reading or that add to your own knowledge in a particular field. Don’t go to blogs that are totally unrelated.
- Either subscribe to their posts via RSS or set up a daily visit list.
- Only leave comments when the post is directly related to your own sites interest. Posts that relate to one of your posts are even better.
- Leave comments that are sensible and add to the posts content. Ad some facts or similar insight. If the blog permits then leave a url to a relevant post. If they don’t permit URL’s within the comments, use the posts URL in the comments sign on URL form field.
- After leaving a comment, check back regularly, or subscribe to the comments for that post. If someone responds to your comment and their is an opportunity to respond back again, do it.
Commenting can be a conversion. I have seen comment chains running 100 deep, sometimes with two or three different discussions happening at once. Be a part of the conversation and make a name for yourself.
Thanks for these blogging tips. I appreciate it.
