Your Daily Kick – Jan. 13, 2010 – Drop A Comment

Your Daily Kick is my daily commitment to deliver solid steps for you to take in your internet marketing journey. Today’s kick is one we have visited before, but something you should do now…

Drop A Comment

Commenting on blogs is a method of attracting targeted traffic for a few years now. When it first started, the comments were something like, “Great blog! Check out my blog too!” Oddly enough, it worked. You would not receive thousands of new hits to your own website, but you would begin to receive new traffic. Today, this type of comment does not work. In most cases, it will not even be approved by the moderator. So, dropping a comment on a blog is not a quick process.

Comment Today

Before you travel to your favorite blog and begin dropping comments, there are some things you should first keep in mind.

1. Always keep the comment on topic.

2. When commenting on a blog post you have two choices; agree and expand on the point being made, or disagree and offer a civil rebuttal.

3. Comment on blogs that you want to be a fixture at. What this means is that you are willing to join in several of the conversations that are happening on the blog.

4. Only place a link in your comment if it is relevant to your point. Other readers will find your blog by simply clicking on your name.

5. Commenting on blogs is not a place for overt advertising. It is a relationship bridge.

Find Five Blogs To Comment On

Your task today is to find five blogs that you can leave a comment on. Make sure that they are all relevant to your own website. Follow the five steps outlined above and you should start to see some traffic from it. After you have done your commenting, do not let it stop there. Continue to build up a list of other blog sites that you can visit on a daily basis and see what is now.

The easiest way to do that is through RSS feeds and Google Reader.

After The Comment – Added Marketing Power

Here is a little tip to give today’s daily kick a little more marketing power. After you have found five blogs to comment on, and after you have left your great comment; go social with it.

If you have a Twitter account (and if you do not, start one!), then Tweet the blog post to your followers. This will not only help the website owner get a little more traffic, but also expose your comment to more people.

So, there you have today’s assignment. Give it a try and drop me a comment about your results.

    Good stuff Tim.

    I had been thinking about this but it was on more of the "what not to do" side of your advice.

    Your advice makes much more sense...
  • Hey David! So glad you could drop by today. I am glad that you got a little bit of information out of today's Kick. Now, go give it a try.
