Blogging Traffic – Give And Take

Blogging traffic is a give and take relationship. Sometimes one of the best ways to get traffic to your blog is by visiting someone else ’s blog.

Go to their blog and read one of their entries, or read a few of them. Chances are that you are going to find something that you have in common.

When you find something that you find truly interesting on a blog, leave a comment so that they know that you were there.

One of the best known blogs available is LiveJournal. A great feature of LiveJournal is that you can search for interests on their site and it will come up with results of those who have that interest.

Are you interested in Golf? You can see what other bloggers are interested in Golf riding as well.

When you are commenting on someone’s post, you want to make sure that you don’t leave generic comment. If you like the post, say something about what you read in
the post.

After you have commented on the person’s post, then you can say something like, ‘I really like Golf too. I had a similar experience to yours.’ and then use it to link back to your journal.

But be sure that you sound sincere when you are commenting, and don’t make them feel like you’re just fishing for traffic.

If someone thinks that you are using their blog to get more traffic to yours, they won’t visit your site and your efforts will be wasted.

These are the rules I follow when I do my weekly task of finding blog to leave comments and hopefully gain some all important links back to my site.

If you want me to give you the same in return then all I ask if for you to leave a comment of value and then it will be published here on my blog.

You are only wasting my time and yours if you don’t put in some effort because your comment will simply be deleted.

Regards,

Ian

    I agree. I see many people trying to simply leave their links by saying “very interesting thanks”. Instead of putting a little something to it. In the end it pays off more anyways because your comment won’t simply get deleted and people won’t see you as a spammer.

    The study went on to show that advertising created more product, service, or brand awareness than all other marketing weapons combined.

    Remember how miserable you felt when you last had a cold? Can you imagine what your baby must feel when he experiences a cold for the first time?

    Viruses are responsible for causing colds. Infected people spread the viruses when they sneeze or cough nearby healthy people. The virus gets into the nose and throat where it multiplies.

    The Topic Of Your Website
    The first thing you will have to deal building your website has nothing to do with the web design itself, it’s me related to content writing but it must be defined and will effect the rest of your actions. So first of all you need to decide what the topic of your future website is. Topic is very closely connected to another web design issue: keywords. The keywords you select will depend upon the topic you have chosen. When thinking about website topic ask yourself a few questions: What is the goal of the site you are making? What are you trying to achieve with your site. Specify a goal, preferably in one short sentence.

    I totally agree that when you post on another person’s blog that you should at least acknowledge the fact that you’ve read it. I have been reading many blogs about SEO and still very much confused on how to drive traffic. There are so many different “gurus” out there teaching different techniques that makes it confusing at times.

    Ultimately every writer wants to be read. If by commenting on another person’s blog and appreciating or criticizing him, you can make someone read your own blog too, its so much the better

    There is a thin line between sincerity and spam. The spammers are dime a dozen, the sincere are a rare species. But if you want to be read, you will need to cross that thin line.

  27. Management Consulting Firm Management Consulting Firm on September 11th, 2009

    There must be a software to censor and remove all such inane comments like “Fine site, Thanks, Very Interesting…”. The world will be a less inane place with that nonsense removed

    A blog is akin to a conversation. A good coversationalist will present his point of view, then listen to other’s opinion on that and then carry the point ahead. Else a Blog will very easily become a monologue

    It is a fact that cigarette smoking is injurious to health but if you go with reputed brand like Marlboro then the harm is less as compared to harm which other cheap and harmful cigarettes can do. It is so because Marlboro’s quality standards are high and it uses the right nicotine content and menthol which gives the real pleasure of smoking. In addition with the help of discount coupons you can even buy them very cheap.
