Power of Commenting on Other Peoples Blogs

Posted by: Kristian  //  Category: Articles and Resources

Of all the tips that the top bloggers that I spoke with gave me, only one was mentioned by each and every blogger.  Comment on other people’s blogs.  It may sound overused but the importance of this cannot be understated at all.

I ran accross an experiment that was done by a blogger named Caroline on a completely different service.  It was done over the course of a month and the results were striking.

Over the course of the month Caroline had around 700 new visitors to her blog just from leaving comments on other people’s blogs.

The key is not to run around spamming other blogs like some sort of noob spammer just dying to get kicked off of myspace but to actually contribute to the conversations already happening.  The traffic then comes from other readers wanting to see who this person is leaving the insightful/humorous replies.

Of course some will argue that 700 visitors isn’t a lot of traffic per month from the activity of commenting on blogs - but when you start to think of it in terms of converting views to subscribers then it takes on a whole new meaning.  If you can add 4-5 new loyal readers per day to your blog over the course of a year it adds up to thousands of new readers.
