      Blog Commenting Basics

      Simply put blog commenting is another way of describing comments made on other individual’s blogs. These kinds of comments or notes are usually posted on blogs which the individual has visited and finds interesting enough to take the time to make a comment.

      The Background

      Though a common practice for some, this leaving comments practice, can be made into an exercise or tool for marketing purposes. Perhaps the next time one decides to make a contribution via the commenting style; one should consider the advantages it could bring about in terms of creating an interest in the comment that leads to traffic back to the individual’s site.

      The blog commenting if done well and with a certain level of respect for other bloggers and their contributions can help form a very fruitful relationship between the various parties involved.

      When the comments are thoughtful and informative, most would appreciate the effort and time taken to post the comment. Also in doing so, the individual is able to create awareness of his or her own presence within the others who may visit the said site and read the comments.

      Thus a following can be formed whereby those interested in further exploring the commenter’s other works would then visit the commenter’s site.

      In actively practicing the habit of leaving and reading comments posted, the individual is also able to broaden his or her own knowledge base.

      This of course would be very helpful should a query be made on the topic just commented upon where the individual is now knowledgeable enough to be able to advice or provide a suitable solution.

      However is the process of making use of the blog commenting as a tool to garner traffic to one’s own site, it should be remembered that there is a necessity to put the URL in the website or URI box and nowhere else.
