Blog commenting can make a huge difference in connecting to your audience if you do it the right way. Apparently, 90% of the people think blog commenting and spamming are the same thing. It is actually laughable to see how much effort people put into leaving mass-created junk comments on websites, hoping that they would get past Akismet.
What is more interesting is the fact that the link in the spam comment does not point to a valid URL. Instead, even the link happens to be junk. I tried following them and received a 404 error.
For people who think blog commenting is one of the easiest ways to get traffic and links, your reasoning is flawed. I have never heard of anyone who has used blog commenting as his main form of traffic generation.
Blog comments are used mainly to grab your target audiences attention and portray yourself as an expert in your niche. This way, you can actually get them on your website and make sales.
But there is a catch to it (as there is to everything in life): Your comments should be valuable and insightful. If they are not, your comments will not be productive towards your needs. If you post a generic comment such as the one below:
Very nice post! I really adored it! I will definitely come back to your website again!
in the hopes of getting links to their websites without a lot of effort, your efforts will not be fruitful. I have had many of these kind of comments posted on my blog and I really do not find any reason to accept them. Same goes for other webmasters.
So if you want to comment on blogs, make sure you do the following:
1. Only comment on established blogs related to your market.
2. If you have nothing good to say, do not blabber. You do not need to comment on everything.
3. Only provide useful comments, which show that you have an insight or command over the specific topic.
4. Leave a link on another person’s blog only when you are sure it makes sense to do so.
And please! Stop with the blog commenting scripts!
