Becoming a Blog Commenting Extraordinaire

I've been on a blog commenting blitz lately and boy oh boy is it working.

I've spent time really putting in the effort to check out other people's blogs, read their content, and make real genuine comments.

I set aside anywhere from 1-2 hours daily to frequent these blogs and give my input.

Not only have I learned so much through the stories of other bloggers, I genuinely enjoy reading about other people's tips, successes, and failures with online business.

And even better I have also seen a boost in my daily traffic to my blog.

All through blog commenting.

It's amazing the results got so far since really going hard to implement this strategy into my daily routine.

If you have a blog or website one of the best ways to increase your traffic should be done through blog commenting.

Experimenting With Blog Commenting

Through different forums I heard a lot of people express how well the strategy works to improve a blog's performance.

Initially, experimenting with it as a link building tactic on high traffic blogs I began blog commenting mainly for SEO purposes.

On the days I performed these link building tactics I began seeing spikes of traffic to my website.

Not only did my traffic increase, but people were actually commenting on my blog and leaving engaging blog comments.

You see, if you comment on do follow blogs you have to enter your name, email, and website.

When you leave a comment on someone else's blog it gets linked back to your website.

By leaving quality and engaging comments on the posts people generally want to learn about you and come to check out your blog.

Not only do you borrow other bloggers traffic, you also increase the strength of your blog in the search engines through building quality backlinks.

Blog Commenting With A Purpose

There are many bloggers online who blog just to make money.

They post links for affiliate products all over the web and write inconsistent posts while never taking the time to interact and build relationships with PEOPLE.

One thing I've learned about blogging is the importance of networking.

Blogging done correctly is a people business built through relationships.

Really being interested in people and showing them that you care through solving problems and creating lasting friendships.

If you come into this business only focused on money I guarantee you will not succeed.

The money is a result of the work and value you provide to your market.

Building the Right Relationships

If you're going to spend time on blog commenting then do it the right way.

Bloggers appreciate it when you participate on their blogs.

You help to build their community and many bloggers will often return the favor if they feel your comments are genuine.

They should be informative, from the heart, and respectful.

By doing this you can create relationships with bloggers can that allow you the opportunity to do guest posts or even get a mentor.

You should always be learning, growing, and implementing as a blogger.

Surrounding yourself with those who've been there or are going through the same journey as you creates success.

I feel so motivated after speaking with like-minded individuals in my niche.

If you're serious about taking your blog and business to the next level then blog commenting should be a part of your arsenal.

Take some time to spend throughout your day going to other people's blogs to comment.

You can easily do a Google search on blogs in your niche and begin checking out the one's you enjoy most to do some blog commenting.

Take a trial run at it and see how much your business improves over time.

Benefits of Content Marketing

A content marketing plan offers a very different perspective because you "own" the attention your company or brand receives. You are taking strategic steps to build brand awareness and cultivate your audience with the intent that they will read your blog, share your content on social media and ultimately buy your products or services.

Google is the largest search engine in the world. Their job is to connect people with the people, places and things that they are looking for. In order for you to take advantage of the billions of people looking for products or services similar to yours, you must have fresh, updated content posted on your website that match the search terms that people are using.

Content marketing gives you the benefit of building and fine tuning an audience that is custom-made just for your company or brand. And the more relevant content on your site the larger that audience will grow.

Basically, the definition of content marketing is someone who writes and publish articles and or posts online and then use various methods to spread knowledge of that content across as many social media platforms as he/she deems necessary in order to increase brand awareness.

Your audience is searching the web and doing their own research on the things they want. They are downloading information, comparing prices, asking for referrals from friends and family and talking about their desires on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and a host of other social sites.

Make no mistakes about it, your brand will absolutely benefit from social media marketing. It's the same as content marketing except you will re-post your articles on social media networks in addition to publishing it on your blog or website.

If you have a product or service that match what people are looking for, why not create content for your website that matches their search and allow Google to send them to your website instead of elsewhere? This is the essence of what digital marketing is all about. Digital marketing is simply finding creative ways to connect a willing audience to your product or service.

If your content is the content that continuously shows up in search results, when a customer is ready to make a purchase, he will more than likely be drawn to your site and consider making a purchase from you instead of someone else.

The reason for that is because they have seen your brand's name mentioned in search terms over and over again and therefore a certain level of "trust" has developed in their mind which leads them to feel as though you are a good and safe choice when it's time to make a purchase.

There are a lot of aspects to having a content marketing plan that I have not gone into detail about. However, if there is one takeaway I would like for you to have it is this, content is king and if you want to take advantage of the billions of people using search engines to find products or services like yours, you are going to have to create engaging content that offers value and that readers will enjoy enough to share on social media which will drive a massive amount of free traffic back to your site.
