How To Become A Respected Blog Commenting Expert.
Every marketer is on a quest. A quest to discover which link-building tactics still work. Some say blog commenting is dead. They couldn't be more wrong. 💼
Blog commenting isn't just alive; it's thriving. The issue? Many marketers are too lazy to do it right. Back in the day, folks used spammy software to blast generic comments. That doesn't cut it anymore. 🚫
Try that now, and your site gets punished. Sent to the back of the search engine rankings. Like a naughty schoolchild, never to be heard from again.
So, what's changed?
Simple. You can't be lazy. If you must, at least be smart about it. Proper blog commenting isn't hard. Any business owner can, and should, do it.
How to comment effectively?
Here's the tough part. Ready? Let's go.
- Find a blog post related to your industry.
- Read the article thoroughly.
- Enter your real name, email, and website.
- Leave a sincere comment about the article. Even if you disagree, state why clearly.
That's it. Just four steps. Easier than you thought, right?
This works because you're genuine. A blog is someone's thoughts, their journal. They invest time in it. Nothing irritates them more than a "nice post" comment with no depth. I mean, really? "Nice post?" What was so nice about it?
The Lazy Approach to Blog Commenting
Steps 2-4? Don't change them. But for the lazy ones with software, step one can be simplified.
Use your software to find blogs in your industry. Export the list. Create a reading/commenting schedule. Read and comment on 3-5 posts daily. This works for international campaigns or local ones, like in Hampshire, UK. 🌍
Blasting 1,000 generic comments might seem easier. But what return do you get? It's better to secure 3-5 quality links than to harm your site with spam. Hard work is the new normal.
That's it. Easier than expected, right?
A word of caution: avoid using blog commenting services for SEO. It's a quick way to get your site de-ranked. But hey, what do I know? I'm open to other views. Share your thoughts below. 🗨️
