Great post and I really liked the Thinking Outside Your blog paragraph because that’s what I believe in most. I believe that going to other blogs and forums in your niches helps you a lot to get traffic to your blog.

Its not difficult is it. I mean go to a blog post a comment with your link in it and it will just take you about 5 minutes. You get traffic right away (sometimes in the next five minutes).

I think what other information that could have been added here was to keep an eye on what other bloggers are doing. Do respect their content and don’t copy it but watch and learn from what they are doing.

One thing that I need to do is keep tract with what I have done on the blog and match it with the spikes. There are a few ways in which I notify people that a new post is up and there are also a few blogs I comment on.

I don’t know how much I should do it but does anyone know how to best keep up with that stuff other than writing it all down?

Thank you for this post. At first I felt like I was reading rehashed material because I knew most of the stuff you wrote about. However, I never really put THAT much thought into commenting on other related blogs. I just felt that commenting was a boring way to build traffic. But you have made me think of it differently…like a guaranteed way to start building initial loyal readers

Another great post sometimes i find it hard to interact when reading other people’s blogs as the information i am reading i am new to and find it hard to share an opinion or debate on matters related to the article.

After reading this post…I realized that I’ve been posting too much and not spending enough time outside of my blog. How bad of me. = (

Can’t wait for your next post in your blog. = )

Thanks for the advice. I’m going to look deeper into it when I have time, but I already feel like the articles have given me alot of knowledge about succesful blogging. Consider yourself bookmarked.

The best way to get high ranking by search engine is the content of your site and also incoming link. I would use this opportunity to provide some free incoming links for your site. http://www.tegadave.blogspot.com

Great post. I think I have at least found a good balance in posting/versus activity external to my blog. I actually spend around 50/50. Some days I might spend 75 outside of my blog and only 25 inside. This is largely because I only am trying to make one post a day at this point, so the rest of my time is spent discussing with others and learning the topics I want to share.

I try to make time to do all things and not get caught up in just blogging or just worrying about seo stuff. I’ve found that waking up early in the morning and writing a blog post and focusing on marketing and networking in the evening works best for me. At first, all I did was blog and not join any communities or post any comments. Even if you have to post only once a day or less, it’s better to start marketing your blog and talking to others who do the same thing.

This is what I have been trying to do with my website. Content seems to be key. Content that people actually want to read. Once you got that you will have a successful site

A note to Keral Patel… There are many plugins that you can use to control the spam. As Janet noted above, the Akismet plugin for wordpress is great. I have only had a few spam comments that it didn’t catch. It has caught well over 2000 since I activated it several months ago. Good luck to you!

Keral,
Don’t know if it works on other platforms, but you if you’re using WordPress, you definitely need to activate Akismet to avoid most of the spam comments. Good luck1

Hey everyone, i’d like to see what everyone thinks of http://www.rumory.com, spread the word. It is a rumor mill for the web2 world, the good bad and ugly, learn about a company before taking that job or be a corporate voyeur at rumory – Mr anonymous

I am bit confused on this one. I did have one blog earlier but I was spending much more time in deleting the pharma and adult comments rather then writing new blog posts on my blog. So I had to close the comments.

I still want to have the commenting option on the blog but am not bothering much as I will again have to delete 5000 comments per day.

This is getting a bit redundant.
