Writing Blog Comments Equals Free Targeted Traffic
Posted on September 10, 2008
You may be overlooking a free source of targeted traffic and not know it. Leaving comments on blogs can bring you great free targeted traffic. Not just from the back link that you can leave which helps with your ranking in the search engines but also from people clicking on that link.
There is a strategy that you\'ll have to employ though. I\'m not talking about spamming blogs though. Don\'t ever do that. Spamming sucks. If you have a blog you\'ll know what I\'m talking about. Spamming is wrong so don\'t do it. Now I got that out of the way, let\'s see how we can get that fee targeted traffic.
If you don\'t already have blogs that you subscribe to, go to Google or your favorite search engine and type in your niche. Be sure to include the word blog or blogs (example: cat blogs). You can do a search for each of your keywords as well. If you have a cat web site you could do searches for cat blog, cat lover blog, cat toys blog, cat food blog etc. This way any traffic is going to be automatically targeted to your niche.
So how is that traffic going to get to your site? Most blog comments allow you to create a link to a web site. The usual comment form will include your name, email, web site and comment areas. When you type in a web site your name will be made into a link to your web site in that comment. It\'s a beautiful thing.
The important thing when finding a blog to comment on is to find one you really want to comment on. You can\'t write a comment like \"Good post. Enjoyed it.\" That is not going to get you traffic. In order to get someone to click on your link you have to give him or her a reason. This is done by writing good relevant content in your comment. You don\'t have to write a whole article but a creative short paragraph about the blog post will cause people to want to read more of what you have to say.
Most people have a hard time of writing anything so the best way is if you have an opinion that can add to the authors post then write it. Even if you disagree with what the author has written don\'t be afraid to write that. Be careful that you don\'t get nasty or rude if you disagree. That could turn readers off. That means no traffic. Make your comment relevant to the post and interesting to the reader and they will click your link.
Something else you want to look at when posting comments is how old the post is. If the post is more than a couple months old don\'t worry about it. Most times if they are that old they are lost underneath the more recent posts. Focus on the posts that are on the first or second page of the blog. These posts will get the most views over time.
Get in the habit of posting comments on blogs everyday. The more links you have out there the better. Also try to post on the same blogs. This will grow a relationship with the author of the blog as well as the visitors to that blog. The more people see you the more comfortable they will be with you and see you as an expert thus clicking on that link all the more.
