If you leave relevant comments on other peoples blogs you will get traffic back to your website. To do this of course you have to actually find people's blogs to leave comments on. The easiest way to find other blogs is to go technorati.com and search for other peoples blogs related to yours.
- Go to www.technorati.com and do a search for blogs you'd like to find
- On the next page, after you entered your search term, click on 'blogs' in the center of the page to reveal the blogs related to the keywords you entered.
Another great place to locate blogs is bloggerforum.com. All you need to do is go to the forum and search for threads with the same keywords you used to locate blogs at technorati.com. Once you have located relevant threads, you'll then need to search the signature file of the posts for blog links.
You want to find other blogs that are in the same market as yours and leave the owners of those blogs comments. In order to find related blogs at bloggerforum.com all you need to so is search the forum for threads related in some way to your blog and then search the signature files of the posters.
What kind of comments should you leave?
The best kind of comments are those that add a little additional information to the blog post you are leaving a comment on and entices the reader to follow your link back to your blog. Suppose your blog is about video games and found some other video game related blogs. The owner of one of these blogs had just left an update about the soon to be released and much anticipated Mercernaries 2 video game.
In order to get some traffic to your blog you would leave a comment like this:
“Yeah, I've also heard that the developers of Mercenaries 2 were bombarded with requests for a multiplayer mode after the release of the first Mercenaries was released. Supposedly, Mercenaries 2 will not only feature a multiplayer mode but the developers say it will be better than the one found in Halo 2! I've heard there are also going to be a couple more really sweet new features being added. I made a couple of updates to my blog about these if you're interested.”
Notice how this comment both adds information and then entices the reader to look at your blog. Anyone who was a video game enthusiast themself would almost DEFINITELY look at the person’s blog to see what additional information they had. What video game enthusiast wouldn't?
When you leave comments on other blogs, NEVER leave blatant advertisements for your blog or comments that attack the integrity of the blog owner. Leaving either types of these comments is not only in poor taste but it will likely be deleted by the owner. Even if your comment isn't deleted by the owner it won't likely produce much traffic as it will be viewed by the people reading it as spam and everyone hates spammers.
