1. How many Online Marketers overlook the simple art of
blog commenting as a way of driving traffic to their blogs?
The Internet is home to some really big and popular blog
sites that enjoy thousands of daily visitors. So it is easy to
get yourself noticed on these blogs simply by leaving
comments on new and interesting posts.

2. The step-by-step way to do effective blog commenting is:

3. Step Number 1:

4. Find some really popular blogs in your specialist niche. You
can do this in two ways.

5. 1) You can go to Google and type in your niche keyword
and then the word "blog": For example "dating advice
blog". I just ran that search through Google and it came
back with more than 13 million blogs. That tells me two
things - the niche is really popular and there are a lot of
people searching for good advice.

6. 2) You can sign up to Google Alerts (which is a free
service). Put your main keyword into the site and click the
"blog" option. Set the number of times you want to be
notified of new content and then set it and forget it. I use
this for a few of my blogs in different niches and I get new
blogs to target with comment posting delivered to my
email every day.

7. Google Alerts is also a great way of staying current in your
niche and learning about any new niche products that are
coming on to the market that you might be able to sell as
an affiliate from your blog.

8. TINY TIP: If you want to get some back-links from your
comments as well as direct traffic you can add
"CommentLuv" or "do-follow" to your Google search and
this will bring you results where your comments are
indexed by spiders and bots.

9. Step Number 2:

10. Read the posts you want to leave comments on. If this
sounds like a really basic idea to you that is just fine. I
have a lot of blogs that I moderate comments on every
day and it is amazing that so many people think they can
just go out and spam on blogs. Their comments are usually
just sales pitches, and most times not even in my niche.

11. Step Number 3:

12. If you want to have your comments taken seriously then
read the post and then respond to it. Giving some free
advice or another opinion on the post topic is a nice way
of encouraging people to read your comments and then be
curious enough about you to click on your blog link.

13. And finally make sure you edit and proof read your
comments. Yes it might only be about 100 words but there
is nothing more off-putting to readers to have to wade
through a lot of comments that look like they have been
sent from a mobile phone or a text message. Professional
online marketers and experts in their field write properly
and it does make your comments easier to read.
