Brand Your Comments To Drive Traffic To Your Blog

by S.Pradeep Kumar on March 31, 2009





Brand Your Comments !I got new friends through my blog. Guess how ? I saw their comments in my blog and I replied to them and so on. Branding yourself in your comments is an important one in the blogging field. It now helps not only to get online friends, but also drives all the traffic to your Blog’s link. Now let us discuss how to brand the comments in such a way. Commenting on others blog will refresh your blog and let others know your blog exists. I hope you follow the below guidelines for Commenting in my blog too ! Ha ha. :D You can comment in a blog unrelated to the topics in your blog, it can drive some traffic, but it will not be a permanent one. So I prefer the readers to comment in a blog related to the subjects or topics in your blog, so you could easily link your blog for reference. The Golden Rule of Commenting is not to SPAM ! Remember that in mind. Please don’t spam in my blog and also in others. You can refer the below stuffs for a decent commenting. Happy Commenting ! 

Why Should I Comment ? Or/And How Should I Comment ?

Search Engine : Commenting on others blog will place your blog’s URL in search engines indirectly, without much effort. So it helps someone to visit your blog.

Linking : Usually comments are made by entering details like Name, Email and blog/website link. So it helps to link your blog in other blogs.

Relationship : By commenting on others blog, you will get to know something about that blog’s owner. By asking and replying you may develop a good relation with him/her. You can also interact with other readers in that blog by similar manner.

Use Emoticons : You can also use some worthy expression emoticons to make the comments look interactive and attractive.

Be The First To Comment : Always try to be the first for commenting in a blog. Because first impression is the best impression. Ha ha. I meant every reader will check the first comment of a article/post rather than other comments.

Check out Popular Posts : Search all the famous blogs and other blogs for their popular post. It is popular mainly due to the maximum page visits and the comments received. It will be useful to display your comments in such a post.

Show Your Photo : Your comments will look dull if it has a default logo instead of other photos. So try to get yourself a cool Gravatar.

Branding : By commenting frequently in blogs will help others to remember your name and your blog’s name. Even the regular readers will be aware of you and your blog. Most popular blogs have top-commentator widget installed (like Million Clues). So always try be a top-commentator of a blog. It will try to increase Page Rank and Traffic.

Cute Quote by Buddy Arun Basil Lal from Million Clues

Never comment for the sake of commenting, readers can easily distinguish a genuine comment and a fake comment. If you just want to say congrats, do it in a special way.

As per I concern never/ever spam your comment ! Don’t misuse or abuse commenting.

Well your point is well made in your post. Comments are important to build relationships and traffic. I also think it is a great way to find new blogs with more information. I often scroll through the comments, laugh at the way people are either trying to spam or argue with the author, and find new blogs.

Your replies to commentators on your blog are a great way to build comments and popularity for an individual post and connect with your readers. Great job!
