Does Commenting On Blogs Really Increase The Traffic

comment on blogs for traffic

Affiliate marketers are often wondering about alternative ways they increase traffic to their own blogs and websites.

Blogging is very popular and it continues to increase in popularity day after day. One of the reasons blogging has such an explosive growth is because a blog caters to the people who visit it. A blog allows for the blog author to easily interact with their readers and also allows for readers to easily interact with the blog author. The most common way these interactions take place is within the comment section of each blog post.

Commenting on blog posts is an excellent way to increase traffic to your own blog, website, or even affiliate product landing page. The reason is simple. Please click the links in the comments to see who you are. By commenting on blog posts, at a minimum, two things happen. The first that happens is the blog author will click your link and view your page. The next thing that happens is other people who read the blog will do the same.

My advice to you would be to search the Net and find about 10 to 15 of the most popular blogs related to the product or services you are trying to sell and become very active commenting on these blogs, contributing, and becoming a regular within that little blog niche. You should invest time and get to know the other commenters and even visit their blog and comment on theirs too.

Doing this builds trust within the community niche you are socializing in. Also it helps spread your links within a related community, this is great for search engine rankings. All in all the more activity and more you contribute within these little related niche areas, the more effective your comment campaign will be. Ideally, it would be very helpful if you had a blog yourself, rather than just a landing page that promotes an affiliate based product or service.Since most of them say and I too believe that the links on forums has got less value nowadays. The search engines still consider the links from good blogs as backlinks.
