I think it is great that we can leave comments. Helpful for others and of course us when we want review on something

I think comments are great, and I don’t always feel the author needs to reply, especially to negative comments — unless you have a rebuttal that’ll further the conversation and not make you sound petty or overly defensive. If you’re continuing the conversation, by all means, respond.
Comments on other blogs is great way to generate targeted traffic to your blogs.Never try to spam it by “blatantly” comments on the others blogs for the sake of traffic. It’ll spoil your credibility.
I will comments on the blogs that related to the niche i promoted by searching the blogs related to my niche through Google and type “your niche+blogs”.
5 times more people get the bi-weekly article emailed to them as an ezine than read it on the blog. But still, I’d love to get the collective wisdom of my colleagues flowing.

That is a very good tip. I found this week that I was able to get an affiliate link and click by leaving a comment on another blog describing part of my review of TurboTax, with a note that if they wanted additional information.

That being said, I’m not sure if commenting is as good as it used to be with nofollow getting so much use these days…

Good video indeed. My problem is mostly getting people to comment – I am getting good amount of visitors – yet only few leave a comment. I myself tend to leave comments on topics that I found interest as often this helps to learn more about the topic in question.

Have a lot more to learn – and your blog seems like a good place to do just that .
Thank you.

I agree that we must be different instead of doing the norm, but of course do it in a way that Google will reward you because you are acting according to their guidelines.

By the way, love the new gadget you have there. Hope it sells in Singapore. I will keep a look out for “Crazy Egg”.

Excellent advice. I just started blogging and never really got a lot of traffic. I’ve heard that commenting could increase traffic but never really thought it would be useful until the video showed the numerous amount of times that a link is clicked on.

Thanks

Great video! But, it seems that this strategy works best when you are allowed to post your link in the body of the comment. I have run across many blogs that only want you to link back to your site through your name. Is there a specific strategy for that? Anyone have suggestions?

Agreed – comments need to contribute value to be effective (and not annoying). I like to think of it as blogging karma – contribute to the discussion on someone else’s blog, get some good energy flowing in your blog’s direction.

Tmosley,

I wonder how accommodating we will be with a comment that is not necessarily positive.

Ellin Drasser,

Were you given any reason why you were banned.

This website is a good example of what this post is talking about.

I am really taken aback.

Thank you so much for the tips. I will definitely be back for more. Starting a blog is easy, but then it becomes daunting when you want to take it to the next level. Your info certainly helps me know where to get started.

I do agree with you.

If your going to comment on other blogs always make sure that your comments must provide enough value to the blogging community.

WOW! Great website. I recently just got into blogging and your site is very hepful! I applied the application of leaving comments to current websites I’ve been too. You have a lot of info. on here but I’ll be back from time to time. I appreciate the fact you take the time to share some “golden nuggets” with newbies.
