Chapter 9: The More Backlinks, the More Traffic...

Using weblog commenting to construct relationships and authority in your industry is something which will eventually result in organic backlinks and new traffic to, typically, the most popular pages of one's web site.
When you are trying to find places to comment, you should consider blogs in your industry. And not simply any blogs, but ones that receive good quality traffic and engagement. They do not have to function as the top blogs, however, you want them to possess some significant quantity of active commenters already.
Register free with Google alerts for email updates of the most recent relevant Google results (web, news, and so on.) predicated on the selection of your query or topic. These emails will indicate some good places for you to make your blog comments.
Once you have found several great blogs to begin with, then continue steadily to branch out by following links from commenters for their weblog. This can help you grow your base of websites to comment upon.
Also, on websites with a variety of authors, read the author bio to see if the writer's have their very own blogs and join their community, assuming those will also be in your industry.
I am an enormous fan of R.S.S. subscriptions through Google Reader to monitor the blogs relating to your industry. As I've got a variety of interests, I've all of them within their own relevant folders. In this manner, it is simple to see which categories have posts which have been updated recently, which is essential for the next phase:
You wish to be first to comment, but only after you have browsed the article and know you have something great to express about this. Do not get it done in the
annoying forum way just by commenting "great post" or something similar.
The probability of other commenters clicking on your link if you are 1st is a lot greater than if you are arriving at the party once fifty others have already arrived and made their mark.
If you do not have something helpful to donate to the comments, do not attempt to comment. You will need to leave a comment that the others can study from and that your blog owner will undoubtedly be impressed by.
Develop into a Regular contributor to your selected weblog. This goes contrary to the backlinking tradition of having plenty of backlinks from many different domains. But we're not wanting to construct backlinks by spam commenting.
Whatever commenting system your blog uses, make certain it'll have your photo related to your comment. In this manner, your blog owner, in addition to the others who usually go to the weblog comments, will start to know you and connect your valuable posts to your individual brand.
Do not just stop only with your comment. Also go that extra mile to obtain the weblog owner's interest and tweet your post.
When you begin building good relationships with bloggers, then (if you do have good content in your site that's highly useful to them) they'll start to link back to your site casually in posts (a lot better than a spammy, paid in post backlink on a non-relevant website), retweeting your articles, and begin engaging in your site also. Plus you're going to garner traffic from your blog owner along with other blog commenters who will notice your remarks and approve of them.
