Blog commenting can make a pretty big difference in helping you connect to your readers. Apparently, 90% of the newbies relate blog commenting to simply spamming. They go so far as to write a generic, crappy comment on someones blog in order to get a link. It is really surprising to see people developing all these scripts which try to bypass Akismet in order to spammy popular blogs.
The thing which is more interesting is that the links (URLs) in the spammy comments never point to a valid internet resource. Instead, most of the links give you a 404 error, either because the spam bot changes the URLs while posting, or that there are bugs in the spam script itself.
For people who think blog commenting is an easy way to get a backlink and tons of traffic, I have news: IT ISNT. Do not approach this method as a way to get rich quickly. It will not happen.
Blog comments are used mainly to grab your target audiences attention and portray yourself as an expert in your niche. This way, you can actually get them on your website and make sales.
Although blog commenting can be helpful, there is a catch to it: Your comments should be valuable/productive and insightful. If they are not, your comments will not be productive towards your needs. If you post a generic comment such as the one below:
Very nice post! I really adored it! I will come back to this website again!
in the hopes of getting links to their websites without a lot of effort, your efforts will not be fruitful. I have had many of these kind of comments posted on my blog and I really do not find any reason to accept them. Same goes for other webmasters.
So if you want to comment on blogs, make sure you follow these pointers:
1. Only comment on blogs related to your niche and target audience.
2. If you have nothing good to say, dont say anything. You will save precious time.
3. Only provide useful comments, which show that you have an insight or command over the specific topic.
4. Leave a link on another person's blog only when you are sure it makes sense to do so.
And please! Stop with the blog commenting scripts!
