Of course you know that one of the best ways to drive traffic to your blog is by commenting on other blogs that are in your niche. But one of the worst things that you can do is post empty comments that have no substance. Every morning I check my blog comments because I have to approve them before they post. And every single morning I have people that make comments on my post and the comment itself has nothing in the world to do with the topic of the post.
Irrelevant Comments
From my experience, that is one of the most annoying things to deal with. And I am sure that if it irritates me then it irritates a lot of other people out there. So when you are leaving comments on other people’s blogs it doesn’t have to be an entire page long, but make sure you are commenting on the specific topic. And that way not only will the blogger take the time to read your comment, but he or she will also be more likely to take a look at your blog as well.
Spam Belongs in a Can!
Another thing that you don’t want to do is go through and spam people’s blogs. If there are any bloggers out there like me that absolutely hates spam then their blog is going to be protected against this annoyance and you can forget about getting any visits to your blog. On my blog specifically, I ban the email address and ip address of spammers so you only get once chance with my blog. So don’t do this because it’s not going to help you at all.
Providing Value
You always want to provide some type of value in your comments because you never know who is going to be reading them. You may also gain visitors by people, other than the blog owner, reading your comments. I have had people visit my blog after reading some comments that was left on someone else’s blog, so it does happen. And if you provide information that is valuable to others, then they will be flocking to your blog to read more of your valuable information.
These are just some areas that you need to work on if you are looking to drive more traffic to your blog by commenting on other people’s blog. Just remember it only takes a minute or two to post a good comment, so don’t be lazy!
