Manual Blog Commenting Can Help Generate More Buzz

Are you hoping to generate more buzz for your website? You can get a lot of attention just by leaving blog comments on other people's blogs. But there is a right way to do this. If done improperly, your comments will be considered as spam and deleted accordingly. So how can you make sure that you succeed at generating buzz? Here is a step by step guide.

Step 1: Only use manual commenting.
Step 2: Read the blog post and current discussion.
Step 3: Leave your comments.
Step 4: Bookmark or subscribe to the blog.

Step 1: Only use manual commenting.

Before you even start, don't even consider automated blog commenting. Yes, you can automate the process with special software. But the problem with such software is that the comments are often irrelevant to the blog post. And since the same comments are posted on hundreds of blogs, this is considered spamming. If you want your website to remain in good status, do not resort to spamming. Otherwise, you may invoke some kind of penalty from the search engines.

Step 2: Read the blog post and current discussion.

Blog commenting can be fun. So enjoy the process. Pick blogs that offer high quality content, and spend time on the blogs. The most important thing is to read the blog entries. Also, pay attention to what others are saying on the blog post. You should do that because you want your comments to be relevant, which brings us to the next step.

Step 3: Leave your comments.

With an understanding of what the blog entry is about, leave your comments. Make sure that you say something about the content, or you join in the current discussion. The worse kind of comment you can give is "good post" and nothing else. If possible, offer some tips or insights. That way, you are adding value to the blog.

When leaving comments, adopt an informal and personal style. Most blogs are owned by individuals. So being casual is totally acceptable. You are there to make friends. For instance, you can start your comment by addressing the blogger by name.

Step 4: Bookmark or subscribe to the blogs.

After leaving your comments, make sure that you bookmark or subscribe to the blogs. There are a few reasons why you should do this. Firstly, you want to be able to check if your links have been approved. Secondly, you may wish to continue growing the relationship with the bloggers. On the Internet, relationship is everything. So don't let your efforts go to waste.

If you like, you can download an RSS reader and subscribe to the RSS feed of the blog. Whenever the blogger post a new entry, you will be one of the first to know about it. You may then revisit the blog, read the content, and if you feel like it, post more comments. After you do this a few times, the bloggers will start to know you better and your comments tend to get a higher rate of approval.

Remember, blog commenting is NOT about spamming. People spam blogs purely for SEO reasons. Sure, this method works for SEO. But SEO should be seen as the side benefit. The primary goal is to network with the bloggers. In time to come, the blogosphere will get to know you better.

Get More Traffic From Bloggers And Better Search Engine Traffic - Be Followed

Here’s a very simple traffic method for anyone who has their own web site, not just a person who has a blog.

1. Find the DoFollow Bloggers.

2. Participate in their communities. But alas, Simple is not the same thing as Easy. We shall come back to that point momentarily.

First, let’s talk about why you should support DoFollow communties. DoFollow blogs manually remove the �Nofollow� attribute that prevents your site from getting full link benefits from the search engines. So when you comment at a DoFollow site and leave your link, you could get a link back that not only sends traffic, but increases your number of external backlinks, which can help increase your search engine ranking, as well as your relevance on sites like Technorati.

Now, here we are, back at the �simple is not easy� thing. Look at number two again. Note how it doesn’t say �leave a drive-by comment whose only purpose is to have a link back to you that contains your keyword.� :) It says �Participate in their communities.� Why the distinction?

I'm a DoFollow blogger, so I can tell you. DoFollow bloggers aren’t looking for comments on the cheap. Do we want more comments? Sure. But if that’s all we wanted, we’d let the borderline spam flow. We’d then look like we were a popular blog without actually being one, which, let’s face it, could give us the bump we’d need to make the site popular. Not to mention that it’s a lot less work.

So why don't we do this? Because some of us changed our blogs back to DoFollow to make a point about how "Nofollow" doesn't prevent spam, and hurts our fellow bloggers. The commenting system is a reciprocal relationship in our eyes and many of us believe that fellow bloggers and webmasters especially should get something in return for taking the time to comment. And yet, spam posters try to make it look like they’re doing us some kind of favor by leaving their junk on our sites and cluttering up our experience for the rest of our community.

I know, it’s tempting to leave a generic comment to get more links, and it works on a minority of bloggers. To avoid having yourself lumped in with those people, really think about a brief comment, make it relevant to the discussion and see if you can’t form a relationship with that blogger. Because it’s not actually the comment that is really the traffic jackpot. You may end up forming an alliance with a blogger whose blog you comment on frequently. That may mean that they feature you in a blog post, or that you have a future partnership that leads to an increase in revenue to your company. Either way the benefits will always be greater if you respect the etiquette of the blogosphere.

So don’t make this classic newbie mistake - realize that not only are the bloggers real people, so are the members of their community. Be one of the good guys and prepare to reap the rewards of it.

Is your blog a source of leads and sales or does it feel, at times, like a waste of time? Turn your blog into one that sells at http://www.freetraffictip.com/bizblogs/ today.

Make Blog Commenting Your Best Work At Home Ideas

Link management plays an important part in how successful your home business can become in internet marketing. It is also very relevant to every marketer's desire to achieve high search engine ranking in Google, Yahoo and other top search engines. In my other articles, I mentioned that it is important to get quality links related to your work at home business. While this remains true, it is also imperative that we find the best way to get this done easily, painlessly and preferably getting result exceeding our expectation. This article shows you how blog commenting can become your best work at home ideas for your business.

Blog Commenting

Blog commenting is considered one of the easiest ways to get free one way links to your website. All that is required of you is simply leave a comment on related business blogs and include some anchor text linking back to your site. While we do recognize that link building is important to your business, you will need to exercise good time management as there are also other equally important tasks demanded of you from your work at home business. For some marketers, finding related blogs to comment is a very tedious task which is time consuming and hard to justify doing it unless of course, if you have discovered a smarter way of doing this.

What Blog Commenting Software Does

One good solution to this labour intensive task is to purchase a good blog comment software. A typical software will trawl through Google listings for a supplied keyword search terms (e.g. small home business, work at home ideas, affiliate program etc), then lists out thousands of related blogs accepting comments. As there are 11 blog platforms including wordpress, blogspot, you can easily obtain a massive list of blog urls ready for you to post your comments to.

The software generates a listing of thousands of blog types by the selected page rank within a few minutes after you key in your keyword search terms. Simply clicking each link takes you to the page listed to do your blog comment posting. Just imagine the hours of time you actually gained back to really focus on your small home business.

If you do this diligently and consistently, you should see good results. If you have a new website, this could help you get indexed in search engines in a matter of days and for more seasoned internet marketers it could well mean better search engine ranking and a higher page rank on your sites. It is no big secret that having more one way links to your site from similarly themed websites will enable your websites attain better search engine ranking.

What Is Considered Good Software
The attributes of a good blog comment software are:

a. It's simple, easy to use and with good presentation

b. it provides training videos on how to use, what to /how to comment on blogs, and which blogs are worth commenting.

c. it provides excellent customer service on your queries, attended by efficient support staff who provide their names (as opposed to getting a mail reply from 'service support staff' from others that I came across).

d. able to filter out blog urls which have 'no follow through' and set up to prevent spamming.

e. 8-weeks money back guarantee


In Search of Quality Links

When looking for links to your website the best ones are:

Free
One Way
On pages with good Page Rank
On topic
Relevant anchor text
Can point to any page in your website

A blog comment software is an excellent tool that can provide one of the best work at home ideas for your small home business. It may not be as well known compared to article submitter, or directory submitter, but will soon become a basic tool for all serious internet marketers. It may be a new revolution in the making which offers excellent help in link management and the domination for high search engine ranking.
