9 Benefits From Leaving Comments while BlogWalking

9 Benefits From Leaving Comments while BlogWalking

by on December 7, 2009 · 138 comments

Comments are the most important thing for a blog, it’s link the wood for the fire, it makes the blog more interactive and full of life. I love to receive comments from my visitors, and I think every bloggers too. Except the spam problem that everybody hates, there’s so many benefits from leaving comments to others blogs. I read so many articles on blogging tips, one of the popular tip for beginners is leaving comments.

Leaving comments on other blogs has several benefits especially for beginners, but these activities need more time. We need spend our time to blogwalking and leaving comments. I’m assuming you are already joined blogger communities where you can find interesting blogs, on these communities we can start blogwalking together and leaving comments.

Here are the benefits from leaving comments:

1. Get Traffic

Blog owner will visit back and leave comment on your blog. If your comment is interesting, other visitors will come to visit to looking for who’s behind the comment.

2. More exposure and visibility.

This day people using Gravatar, leaving comments on others blogs means you leave your Gravatar, it could be your personal photo or your logo. More comments on various blogs will make people familiar with you, its part of your branding.

3. Build and Expand Links Popularity

Almost on every blogs or article I read, I found that link is important to our blog rank. Leaving comments means we left our links in other people blog, look for dofollow blogs. So you get your link as much as you left comments. This is a great way to get your back links from other blogs and it’s free.

Build a lot of links contribution large meaning success for your blog. Credibility of your blog can be measured by who is linked to it. Calculations of page rank and link popularity on search engines is also based on how many blogs or websites are linking to your blog.

4. Back Link

Left comment on other people blog means we left our URL. So this is a great way to get your free back link. So don’t forget to leave your URL every time you write a comment. I read article that encourage people to leave comment on High PR Blogs and/or dofollow Blogs. they say back links from this blog can help increase our rank.

5. Free Promotion and Marketing.

Some bloggers appreciate their commentators by providing a space for Top Commentators on the sidebar. This is very kind and generous manner from the blog owner to give their commentators free promotion and marketing. There are some plugins and widgets that track and show your latest post every time you leave a comment. So I think it’s great if you leaving comments on other blogs that use CommentLuv plugin for example to leave a link for your last article.

6. Get ideas for writing a new Article.

Sometimes, when visiting other blogs and leaving comments you’ll get a new fresh idea to your next post. Leaving comment means you write your argument, this is how the idea start. Why don’t you create an article from your argument? With your comments, sometime I’ve got a new idea to write, that means a new article :)

7. Enrich and Strengthen Keyword in Content.

Leaving comment on someone else blog could actually be utilized to optimize keywords that you use for content or leading directly to a specific post (anchor text). For example, if you write an article about Google AdSense business, then you may fill in Google AdSense business in name field when you write comment on others blogs.

8. Improve Your Writing Skills.

You can learn how to write a short and simple comment, express your opinion directly and clearly while you are commenting on others blogs. Keep your comment related to the topic, you can agree or disagree but you must tell the blog’s owner your arguments. Always be nice.

9. Build Relationship.

Don’t forget, leaving a comment means that you are building your relationship with other bloggers. I have a lot of good friends from this activity, now we have a wonderful relationship, a wonderful friendship!

As always, I try to write tips for beginners here on Famous Bloggers Club. I dedicate this article to my beginner friends, and I encourage my beginners friend to leave comment to others blogs because its benefits. So if you are an expert and came across this post, I need you to share with us your experiences here.

OK guys, that’s all for this time. I hope you enjoy your commenting activities and get all the benefits. Don’t forget to share your experiences about leaving comment with us, it’s really important to become better bloggers. So don’t forget to leave your comment here guys.

very true!! Sometimes they just tag on your tagboard and won’t comeback.. and yeah leaving comments will also help you to have more friends online. Sometimes you even exchange comments with each other in every post which is the start of “friendship” right? well I have experienced that and it’s awesome ^^~ I guess comments are just as important as the traffic because you know people are reading your blog =)

About the friendship, yes comment exchange can be another way to get more good friends.

Hi Latief,

About point ’4. Back Link’
Most of the blogs have nofollow activated so in the most cases you get no link back!

Another strategy is more efficient: Be the first to comment a blog post to be the fist on the coments list.
I think this is more useful for traffic.

Dragan Mestrovic December 11, 2009 at 4:37 am

I think it could be good ideas to have something like a great directory of do follow blogs as the one perfect source to comment on.

There are several sources out there but it can be very time consuming to find them all and then to select which one you have already commented on and which one is still not discovered.

Something where bloggers can list there own blogs and list also blogs they have found online.

Latief What a nice surprise to see you in this post referred via StumbleUpon! Your points are right on the mark. After all we met at BlogCatalog and have done some mutual blogwalking. I often see blog owners visit when I leave a comment. Also enjoy reading other commentators and expanding my walks. Good Job!

@Mike I agree with you. When I see a name that is all keywords and has no gravatar image then I’m suspicious! I don’t get as many of these as you might, so I check the url and if it’s just a one-pager (not a blog) then I send the comment to spam.

I agree with most of your reasons and I think another benefit is that it often brings in other bloggers to comment on your blog.

However, I’m not a fan of people using a keyword in the name file. I’ve stopped allowing those comments through.

why would you stop someone from using a keyword in a comment if its genuine. When you open a door for a woman you do it out of respect the same thing applies to letting someone who takes the time to visit your blog and leave a comment. Let them have a comment link it is harmless to your blog and it is a bridge builder , bridges lead to traffic.

I agree with you somewhat, 90 percent of keyword “names” are spam. But for me it’s more than just a spam problem. For me comments are more than just traffic. I want to have a conversation and build a brand. Right now I’m having a conversation with someone called blog promotion. I’ve seen that name a million places, could be the same person, could be someone else.

I try to comment as much as I can when “blogwalking”, though sometimes, it’s down to time constraints when I don’t comment, but since startting my blog and commenting on the blogs that I read I have made a lot of new blogging friends ;)

Really useful and informative post from Latief. I really like the way you have covered each and everything in points. Commenting is a must do thing for every blogger but its not necessary that you have to keep commenting on each and ever blog or each and every post. Commenting should be more from inside. Also, I have seen people begging for comments. That should not be the case. if you are getting visits but no comments then its a food for thought. You need to make sure that what you are writing in your blog is simple and easy to understand. Your writings should be compelling enough to make others leave their thoughts. Try to leave questions for your visitors. Also, I am not sure but yes, your blog’s design can also play a major factor. I feel so. As an avid blogger myself, I think comments can be a great motivation for any blogger. It can make a huge difference. I would personally like to comment first rather than waiting for others to visit and comment on my posts first. And that is how one should go. I see nothing wrong with it..

Excellent post. One well worth the read. I too agree that commenting on other blogs not only ads value to the post you;re reading but also has a indirect benefit to you and your blog.

Blogging is about interaction, getting involved with others.

I to wrote a similar post a while back. If you guys and gals care to take a read, I would appreciate the comments.

I never had thought the benefits of commenting blog posts. I’ll think my own blog’s writing style could vary a little in order to promote the comments.

I am now doing these things, commenting and returning visits, because Latief is right about the benefits he elaborated here. Strengthening keyword in content is particularly maximized when we comment on blogs with the CommentLuv plugin. I have always looked up to these great generous bloggers. In return, I also installed the plugin in mine.

You’ve shared some really great insight in this post Latief. I love reading blog posts that get my creative juices flowing and conjure up ideas for future posts on my own site. There really are so many benefits to blog commenting that I’m surprised that some people see it as a major chore rather than a way to connect, share, learn, etc.

Regards,

Karl

Good post, Latief. You’ve summarized the benefits of commenting nicely, and I like your term, “blogwalking.” It may or may not be yours, but I read it here first!

I love getting comments. My grandmother used to say, “You’ve got to write letters to GET letters,” and the same is true of blog comments. No one enjoys a one-sided conversation for long.

I agree with your grandmother, relationship always involve “take and give” matters. If we want to create a relationship, we must start the two side communication and respect each others.

Thanks Karl, I seen we have created two sides “comments” articles at the same time. I believe a beginners love to receive comments, but they had to leave comments first as they are not get much exposure yet.
I’m concentrating on contents and leaving comments when start my blog, its really help me to get more attention on the blogosphere.
