Craft Your Incredibly Effective Blog Commenting Strategy

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

If your home business aims to attract a flood of targeted traffic and build up a position on search engines, then you need many back links. And one very effective way to get links from related sites is to post comments on other blogs.

By carefully choosing the kind of blogs you comment on, you can ensure the quality and relevance of all back links you build to your home business website.

Doing Your Research

Your first task is to find blogs related to your business. You can do this by searching for blogs by keyword phrase, or using blog directories like Technorati to locate the best ones.

One way to leverage all this effort is to combine this research with your other tasks like finding news items and content to use in your email newsletter, and identifying potential partners to help sell your products. Using software tools may help speed up and simplify this process too.

Your Commenting Schedule

Make blog commenting a part of your regular marketing activity. Do it on a schedule, and not as and when you feel like it. Have a daily routine in which one component is to visit blogs in your niche, read interesting posts, and leave relevant comments that both give you back links to your website and establish your authority as an expert to other readers of those blogs.

Using Blog Comment Software

This is important because of potential pitfalls and dangers. While using software to locate related blogs is a time-saver, most automated blog commenting software are viewed as spamming tools – with good reason. And as a blog owner, you’ll realize how annoying it is to be hit by a deluge of sham comments posted by these robots.

Before you choose to use blog commenting software to post automatically, be sure you have carefully researched them and realize the danger of being flagged as an abusive website, with a seriously negative impact on your business.

Outsourcing Your Blog Comments

If you are seriously short of time, and wish to engage someone else to post comments on blogs on your behalf, make sure to take the time to explain your strategy to that person. Clearly define the nature of comments you want to have posted, and be aware that the comments will reflect upon your business when they are viewed by other blog readers.

Posting comments on blogs is a very effective way to bring in new visitors to your home business, and present yourself in favorable light to audiences you cannot reach otherwise. But a reasonable degree of caution and planning is required to derive all the benefits you want for your business.
