Blog networking through comments |
One of the best promotional and marketing strategies that you can have for your blog is by commenting on other blogs. By posting relevant comments on similar blogs to your own is almost like chatting at a network event. By visiting related blogs and communicating with others on it, you are networking with other people.
You can visit other blogs that your targeted customers are likely to visit. In simpler words…your competition. This will allow you to keep up with what is going on in your market niche and area of interest. By making your name public and by participating in conversations on blogs, you can become the authority in your niche.
Find and search for other relevant blog postings to comment on. Most blogging systems allows you to leave not only your name and comments, but also a link to your website or blog. Usually when you leave a comment, you are also leaving a valid link back directly to your website or blog. Good positive contributions will always result in others clicking through to your blog to learn more about you and to see what you are doing.
Blog networking tips:
- Comment on popular relevant blogs that’s got a good traffic ranking.
- Subscribe (usually free) to other blogs where you want to participate regularly so you can be notified as soon as a new content is made available.
- Maintain a strong presence in each discussion.
- Try to be the first to comment. The first or second person to comment is more visible than the 20th.
- Quality over quantity. As you network you are building relationships and your online reputation. Try to concentrate on making quality comments that can add to the conversation.
- Remember: On other blogs, you are the guest and not the host. Focus on being more considerate than courageous.
