What you say is very true even in non blog contexts! When you appreciate people, the person feels more inspired to perform better! An offshoot of this topic though! :)

I don’t leave comments for the sake of just leaving comments. I read and leave if i want to react to the post. here, i’d say thank you. hmm. as they say, commenting on other blogs must be one of the to-do list for any blogger.

Well I knew that comments are important and I have been emphasizing about this on my blog and I do comment on people’s blog but not too much and the only reason I do this is for back links but I didn’t realize that they can be such good source of traffic. I have been getting some traffic by commenting on problogger and after reading this post I am getting confident that only thing I will do is comment on people’s blogs.

I also think it’s a great way to find the friends with whom you can build up your business. Actually, you get the best of both worlds.

Also, reading comments sometimes inspires me on writing some new post in my blog, because someone has said something that has led me toward a great idea.

Hi,

This is a very inspirational post. I have commented on blogs on and off over the course of time. To be honest, I originally wanted to get traffic and backlinks from my commenting, but I have found that it is actually a really fun and engaging thing to do.

I feel like I am connected to the blogging community when I comment.

My next read will be your “11 tips for getting your comments noticed on a popular blog”.

I apologize for my out of sync comments. I was thinking about my post, hence lost the context & accidentally hit the submit button without proof-reading.

This is a unique way to look at leaving comments on others blogs. I have to admit I never thought of it in this way. I will have to try this to see how it works for my blog. Thank you for the great tip!

Basically what is a blog. A form of knowledge sharing. Sharing needs more than 1 person. Imagine someone who has no traffic to his site but keeps writing & reading his own blogs for indefinite period of time. How useless it can be? So comments are the source of encouragement to keep going.

I have found commenting on blogs like this one also help with my page ranking on Google. It’s a great way to get you name out there and build a strong network.

The only thing I have to say about this is, don’t comment spam.

Say something worth the time you took to type it.

I delete comment spam from my blog all the time. As an experienced blogger, I know the difference.

I’ve not experienced a huge traffic from comments yet, but I think it’s good because you get to know what others think, you share your thoughts, you learn and enjoy, you could even find some readers, and most importantly, you’ll get back links that will work for you. Those links maybe the most durable results that you get.
I’m sure that those back links will help your position in search engines. Then, the traffic coming from search will be the high quality ones.

Traffic that comes through comments is of very poor quality. Although leaving comments on blogs is a good habit but it is not something that can do wonders.

I have been leaving comments but have not realized such kind of traffic, but one thing I have noticed is that where I left a comment, they are recognised as external links which do improve my link popularity. But thanks for sharing this valuable information

Thank you Lisa and Darren.

This tips is a real eye opener. I know that commenting on blogs would provide a visible link – but I did not realise how this can generate so many visits!

At the moment I have just started my blog but as I have time I would start blogging frequenty (2 times a week – at night). I would remember this tips for sure.

Thanks again!

Thank you Lisa and Daren! It’s been very inspiring.
I’ve noticed that as well, specially when you try to be helpful to others. Adding a few tips to enrich the post could trigger some interest in some bloggers to come and read your blog!

I never had a comment experience such as yours but I do enjoy reading and commenting on other blogs regardless if they check mine out or not. Its one of the best parts of blogging for me.
