Blogging comment Promotion

Blog Promotion and Comment Approval

Well I took the whole weekend off for this blog as I am in the middle of moving and there was just no time for me to post. But I am back at it with a vengeance. My first blog promotion tip for the week is comment approval. I visit a lot of blogs and the first thing that pisses me off is when I write a long engaging comment and hit submit and I get a your comment has been submitted for approval. Not only is this a turn off for the visitor of a persons blog it is bad business.

You should reward the readers that are nice enough to leave a comment on your blog by having your comments set on auto approve. The reader should not have to register to comment and enter captcha, that is a waste of the readers time and and will cause a reader to leave your blog and never return . This is not user friendly and is not going to make your blog special by requiring this. If you are worried about spam then use askimet plugin or another spam plugin to filter the spam. Every now and then a spam comment will squeeze thru your spam filter but who cares, just delete it. If you are really working to improve your blog promotion then you should be monitoring your blog and engaging with your commenter’s and you would notice a spam comment sneaked by your plugin. But I doubt this will happen very often as askimet is vastly improved now to detect all the spam comments you dont want. If someone takes the time to  leave a comment on your blog then follow them back to there blog and leave a comment or there blog and let them know you saw they visited your blog. If your blog gets hundreds of comments a day then just do your best to comment back on as many as you can. This will go a long way in building bridges to more readers and help you increase your blog promotion. Something as simple as commenting on a blog post should not be time consuming and difficult for your blog readers. If you have your blog on approve all comments then you need to change it and  install the askimet plugin and put all comments on auto approve. Trust me on this it will make your readers very happy to know that he or she could comment on your article and it is auto approved. Those blog owners who require you to jump thru hoops don’t deserve a comment and if you are looking to get a backlink out of one of these type of comment moderation is on blogs forget it. They will not approve your comment as they think they are the comment police, and whoa is them if someone leaves a backlink on there blog. Leave a comment on my blog today and watch the auto approve. Happy Blogging Monday

Leaving Comments a important Blog Promotion Trick

How to Promote your blog by leaving comments on other sites . It is not really a trick it is more of a art form these days. Leaving comments can get help you get  your 2 cents in and get you a link back and maybe even some traffic back to your blog if done correctly and often.

1. Pick out some power blogs in your niche ie on the front page for the keywords you are targeting. Start visiting these blogs a couple times a week and make sure to comment on their posts and if they have a social network bookmark then use it as well. Make sure to do this weekly to let the blog owner know you are a regular on his or her blog. This will help you be be accepted by the blog owner and eventually build a relationship thru comments on his blog. Be sincere and leave meaningful comments about his or her blogging topic for the day this is the golden rule.

2. Make sure to comment on the bloggers post you are reading and interject your own views and points that the author of the blog might of missed. Be controversial when you see a opportunity but dont be mean and dont make the blogger mad. Always praise the blogger before you become controversial as it will stroke his or hers ego and that goes along way in getting your comment past his moderation. Dont argue with or insult others who have made comments even if you do not agree with them.

You are trying to add something to the post thru a comment that will get you enough recognition that others who see your comment might want to investigate your blog thru your comment signature.

3. If a blog owner does not let you leave your link back in your comment signature then dont visit his blog. Leave his blog to die with the others who have made this fatal mistake of not showing his blog readers any love back. I will let you leave link backs on your posts on all the blogs I own and I expect the same on any blog I read the posts on and you should do the same on your blogs. I even have a comment luv plugin that will link the last post to your blog in my comments section. That is one awesome plugin.

4. Blogger versus WordPress comments

Blogger blogs are almost all no follow blogs meaning you will not get a link back in the comment signature unless the blog owner changes this and most blogger users do not do this. I never comment on blogger blogs as it is a waste of time as far as im concerned because of the no follow. You can get a few readers to follow you thru good comments on blogger but its just not worth the effort. In my opinion wordpress blogs are the blogs you want to target with your comments.
