Blog Traffic Through Blog Commenting Tips

Blog Traffic Through Blog Commenting Most Important Tips

People often recommend building awareness and traffic to your blog through leaving comments on other blogs. This can work well, but will work far better if you consider the tips below, which greatly build on the "write great comments on lots of blogs idea."

1) Write great comments

The typical advice is to leave intelligent and insightful comments that add value to the reader. This is solid advice, but just a beginning on blog commenting strategies.

2) Leave controversial comments

Controversy gets noticed, and you can build interest and traffic by politely offering different points of view in comments. Don't be controversial just to stand out, but only where it's reasonable and adds value.

Opinions are valued in the blogosphere, and as long as you have a legitimate differing view and can back it up, don't shy away from controversy.

3) Use a consistent commenter name

Always use a consistent name when you leave comments. For example if your name is Robert James Smith, don't sometimes use "Bob Smith," sometimes "Robert Smith," and sometimes "Robert James Smith." Pick one consistent representation of your name so that people will get to recognize you.

4) Append your blogname or other tagline to your comment name

You can append your blogname or other tagline to your name when commenting. For example, if you're Bob Smith and your blog is called "Feline Health," using the name "Bob Smith, Feline Health" will get you lots of notice on cat blogs. Make sure, as mentioned above, you use a consistent name, whether you include a tagline or not.

5) Comment early

Early comments attract more attention than late comments. It's better to have the first or second comment on a popular blog than the 5th or 25th. The later comments tend to get buried and not read as often.

6) Comment often on the same blogs

Regular readers will be more likely to notice you if you regularly leave comments and will be more likely to visit your blog.

7) Leave comments on related blogs

It doesn't matter how great your comments might be, if you are a cat blogger your comments will work better on other cat blogs than on political, ,marketing, or other unrelated blogs!
Leaving comments is a great way to build blog traffic. By considering the tips above, you'll build more traffic than by simply using the common "leave great comments"strategy.

Make Money Blogging - Profit Potential

Make Money Blogging - Profit Potential

Many people think it sounds too good to be true. They hear the stories of how ordinary men and women make money blogging, to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars and just can't believe it. But it happens. There are ordinary people making 5 figures a month, each month, with simple blogs. It is possible that you can do the same, as long as you do it the right way.

So what is the "secret" to making this kind of money? The secret is, there is no secret. You just have to set your blog up from start to finish to make sales of products you promote, while attracting visitors to your blog. The more visitors you have, the more buyers you will have. It's the same as trying to run a store in the town where you live. If you make 3 sales for every 100 visitors to your site, how do you double your profits? The simple answer is, you double your traffic. There are other things you can do, but that is one simple theory.

Now unlike opening a store, which will take months or even years of planning and preparation, you can set up a blog in just a few minutes. All you have to do is register a domain name, set up hosting so you can get your blog online, click a few buttons in your hosting account and you're ready to go. It really is that easy.

From there that's where people start getting bogged down in the details. What theme should I use to control how my website looks? Do I ping my blog, or not? How do I get people to visit my blog? How do I make money blogging? If you don't understand what some of this means, no need to worry. This is a simple business to learn - once you have the right information to learn from.

Whatever your goal is with your blog, you can reach it if you keep at it. It doesn't matter if your goal is to just do it part time to make a couple hundred dollars a month, or to do it full time and earn several thousand a month. Maybe your goal is to become the next Perez Hilton. His blog is reportedly making over $50,000 per DAY. Now to put that in perspective, he also gets over 198 million page views each month. You might want to sell your blog eventually like the former owner of Bankoholic did a while back, he sold for $15 million. If you want to do something along the lines of either of those sites, you have to learn everything you can.

You'll probably start off a little slowly at first, but once you make your first sale you'll get really excited. Then when you get that first check, it will really motivate you.

Success in Blogs

Success Description


Success is when you feel at ease with yourself, when you earn enough doing a job you love to sleep well at nights, when your close relationships are great and you are a positive influence on those around you. When you can deal with adversity and plan for the future.
Success is also knowing that you are firing on all four cylinders, that you have achieved self-control, that you can make yourself do the things you need to do when you need to them.
A successful person is a great time manager, each day having a sense of purpose, each day having goals and structure whether that be for work or leisure.

Success isn’t all about money!

The Importance of Your Success


Your social circle, family, work colleagues are your strong links these are people you see frequently, the danger is however that can become a barrier between you and new experiences. Weak links are say an old school friend you happen to bump into at a conference or on a flight.
Weak ties can provide you with information that you might otherwise not have come in contact with, something our closest associates, who share very similar experiences, cannot do. Why does this happen? well the Weak Link can help you see perspective, offer unexpected advice, criticism, or suggest people you might contact. They might have succeeded, failed, dropped out, changed religion, they might surprise,embarrass or challenge you, things your strong links rarely do.

I was introduced to the importance of Weak Associations by Tom Butler-Bowden author of the indispensable 50 Greatest Success Books, 50 Greatest Self-Development Books series.

Slow Starter you?


Near the top of my list of faults or the faults I’d like to eradicate is that I’m a dreadfully slow starter. I seem to wake up so lethargic, unmotivated. Although ideally we supposed to start with our day by doing the most important job but I just have to settle for doing any job I feel up to. Gradually and painfully I then start to build some momentum. Once again ideally I’d be focused on one thing but I seem to be better suited to multi-tasking. At some point in the day I suddenly notice that I’m flying along and I can start tackling those difficult job, but I’ve sometimes run out of time.

One success guru says that to get rid of “Writer’s Block” an author must start writing which may seem some what unhelpful, but in fact it is the only solution, the trick is of course is to write say a letter to a friend anything that doesn’t carry the burden of “I must/Have to do this”. When half-way through the letter the writer realises that he has written his first elegant or witty sentence his Serotin will start flowing and suddenly writing will become easier. I can also generate motivation by solving a difficult programming problem.
