little known tips for effective blog commenting
TRANSCRIPT
READ THE COMMENT, UNDERSTAND THE TOPIC
If you really want the blog’s host to quickly approve your comment, then read the post carefully and write a relevant comment. Though this tip is very common yet it is often ignored by many of us.
WRITE INTERESTING COMMENTSWhen you are commenting, you are also promoting your brand. Therefore, don’t just oppose or side with the topic of the post but say something interesting that can catch the readers’ attention and show you as an authority in your niche.
BE ORIGINAL, USE REAL NAMEThe main purpose of blog commenting is to build authority while setting up a good link profile. Authority can only be established if your comment seems more original. This can only be achieved if you comment using your real name.
KEEP THE LENGTH ADEQUATEAlthough it is important that you comments should be to the point but it doesn’t mean that you left a one sentence comment on any site. Keep the length of the comment adequate, i.e., at least three sentences long.
TRY TO RESPOND TO THE FIRST COMMENT
If there are hundreds of comments on the post and if you want to make your comment more visible, try to reply to the very first comment. However, ensure that your reply is interesting.
USE AUTHOR’S/BLOGGER’S NAMEAlways use the blogger’s name when commenting. It doesn’t only show respect but also makes the comment look more genuine.
NICHE-RELEVANT BLOGS BRING GREAT-RESULTS
Want desired-results from your blog-commenting campaign? Then look for only those blogs that are pertinent to your industry. For instance if you are selling toys, then search blogs that talk about toys, action-figures, etc.
NEVER PUT LINKS IN THE COMMENT FIELD
Unless you are sourcing an external link to present a reference or prove your point, never place any links in the comment box, particularly your site links. Remember that you don’t do direct-marketing through blog comments.
PLACE INTERNAL PAGE LINKSAs comments are mostly used for link-building, most people often links to only home-page of their sites. It is highly-recommended that you should also link the comments to internal pages as well.
LINK TO SOCIAL PROFILES OF YOUR BRAND
By nature, blog are social, then why not link the comments to your social profiles. It will not only boost the credibility of your site but also promotes your brand and bring more followers.
PING YOUR BLOG COMMENTSPinging the comments through pinging services like Pingomatic or Pingler, will help you index your comments fast. Pinging notifies the services that a post or blog is updated, thus increasing the chances of indexing your link on the search engines much sooner.
