Is Commenting on Other Blogs a Good Way to Generate Traffic?
Yes and No.
Actually, it depends on how you use this tool.
Some people do it in a right way, some do it all wrong.
Let’s see how it works.
One of the best ways to generate traffic is adding quick comments on other blogs, which are usually higher than your blog in ranking and traffic.
However, remember one effective comment can bring more results than months of quick commenting. But if you don’t have good content on your blog, you must not really bother commenting on other blogs. It would attract just few curious clicks.
There is another way many bloggers use to generate traffic use that doesn’t really work if the content isn’t good. They wait for a new post on a big blog, and as soon as it comes, they fight to be the first one to comment. This is generally because first or second commentator gets more clicks.
The rush to be the first, however, often creates a bad impression. This is because most of the times, bloggers don’t add any value in the comment. Sometimes, they don’t even make any sense. So, the curiosity clicks, if any, is simply to know ‘What’s this bozo’s blog gonna be like?’
So, Am I Saying Commenting on Other Blogs is Useless?
No, not at all.
If you use a smart way, it can, in fact, be one of the best ways to boost your blog’s traffic.
How Does it Work?
Here is a thumb rule: If the content of your blog sucks, no tools can help you have good traffic. Hence, before you plan to spend few hours every day commenting on other blogs, spend some time improving the content.
Next, don’t simply rely on commenting. There are several other tools that can help you generate traffic like regular tweets, facebook links, social media votes, bookmarks, and so on.
Can I Post First Comments Regularly, and Get Traffic?
This is pretty much the same question. My suggestion is do not do it. First, you will spend so much time commenting on other blogs you won’t create your own. Second, you will keep checking your feed reader count throughout the day. I would rather suggest you to concentrate only on your content, and do some moderate SEO for the blog. If the material inside your blog is good, it would be good enough to attract people.
THIS IS A RE POST OF A BLOG I FOUND.
You can get more traffic to your blog by being a good “commenter” on other people’s higher ranking blogs. Empower Network is the best blogging platform in the marketplace today. The newbie blogger can develop a voice in the Internet space and share his ideas and business training with others who can find him on Google. Then he will have content to share with others and when he comments on other writers’ blogs he can add value to the readership. The answer then, is yes!
