Blog Marketing Strategy – Generate More Traffic with a Comment Parade!

Read More: Blogging

When I first started blogging, I thought those nice little blog comments that you got from folks were nothing more than just that – nice little comments.

I thought they were just a way for your reader to let you know what they thought of your blog and really nothing more.    And frankly, I just thought it was a way for people to spam you with their websites by blasting your posts with their comments.

It wasn’t until about a month ago that I saw the FULL power and spectrum of why these sweet little comments were actually Powerful and Mighty beasts that you should be utilizing extensively in your blog marketing strategy.

And it’s not what you think either.

Some folks think that it’s just interacting with the people leaving comments on your blog posts.  But that really only the tip of the iceberg.

But first, I want to take a step backward and look at the bigger picture than just simply showing you tactics on how to generate comments on your blog posts.

As internet network marketers, one of your goals is to get your blog in front of as many people as possible.  That’s accomplished by generating traffic to your blog.

The more traffic your blog gets, the higher your ranking in Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.  And in turn, the higher your ranking, the more traffic you get.  (If you want to see how you’re ranking compared to the big boys, you can download the Free Alexa toolbar to your web browser here – http://www.alexa.com/toolbar. For example sake, at the time of writing this post, it has been 10 days since I started HEAVILY implementing these comment tactics.  Over those 10 days, I have seen my Alexa ranking go up from #1,084,687 to #632,114 worldwide).

See the cycle here?

So, this is where the comments start to come into play.

Think about it this way.  When someone stops by your site and leaves a comment on one of your posts, you then have a visitor to your site.  It’s safe to say that the more people that leave comments = more traffic.  It’s kind of a spring board effect that just starts to build on itself.

As this is happening, you will begin to see your site ranking increase.  As your site ranking increases, so will your traffic from the search engines because the search engine sites like popularity.  If a site is getting more web traffic, the web crawlers will notice that, and deem your site more attractive than the next guy who has a lower ranking.

Make sense?  (If not, go out an do a Google search on the basics of Search Engine Optimization – SEO).

So, what can you do to start to drive comments to your blog posts and site?

What can you do to create that comment parade?

Here are some of the strategies that I use.  They are not all inclusive.  Nor am I taking credit for all of these tactics.  I learned some of these from Jason Better from www.BetterNetworker.com, but the overall idea is that these are proven tactics to increase your traffic flow to your blog site and more specifically, should warrant you some rather sizeable amount of comments.  Without a doubt, you should be using at last one of these tactics in your own blog marketing strategy:

  1. E-mail your list – This is my favorite.  I started with this strategy first and  it is the best way that I started creating simple and targeted traffic to my blog.  This is one of the fastest ways to increase your comment flow.  Simply e-mail your list everytime you post, and give only a snippet of what you’re teaching, and then end it with something like “To learn more about this strategy, go to my blog at www.LinusRuzicka.com to read the entire post.” OR do what I do in Step Two…

2 more strategies

Great post, Linus!

I have 2 more strategies that Better Networkers can use:

1) Copy and paste the comments you get from your articles on Better Networker to your original post on your blog.

This works on Facebook or other Social Media sites, as well.

When you post a link on Facebook, for example, copy and paste the comments you get on your wall to your blog posts.

2) Start a forum discussion on your blog post's topic and use those as comments for your blog, too.

Well, there's my 2 cents ;)

Thanks again,
Derek

Spot On!

Great Article Linus. Your spot on with this info mate! I have noticed my ranking on Alexa climb just from increasing my efforts. It is all slowly coming together for me and my partners. Just simple comments like this, writing articles or even videos make a huge difference.

Look for to your next post

Strategy Implementation Timeline

I've been doing it for about a month now.

It's worked like a charm because comments breed more comments, especially if you reply to them, like I see you do on your blog.

Hi Linus,

I totally agree with you. These methods are proven to work and easy to implement. With consistency and persistence in working through these tactics we all can benefit from it.

This System assures Success with consistency

Blog Commenting is a sure fire method to increase your Responsive lists
I am sure everyone has heard this tip.

Set up Google Blog Alerts for YOUR major Keywords
Every morning set aside 45 minutes to glance through the Synopsis..
And place relevant Comments to the post of
your liking.

I receive 10-15 new opt-ins and subscribers a week this way, and my clients have really enjoyed the benefit of this simple Low to no Cost Traffic generating system.

Several clients have delegated this activity to their staff.
But the results have been powerful when the small business owner
does his own commenting and offers personal contact Info.

One Manufacturer realized a 68% increase in sales in 2009, directly attributed to this system and other Social Networking Activity.

Guys, Thank you for the kind comments. Glad to see so many find something new in the article.

Really, it all comes down to just that - helping someone else, even just one, find something new with the content and value that we produce.

That is what amazes me about this community, so many people helping each other out and not pitching or spamming one another. Refreshing!
