Are you commenting on other blogs? It can be a great way to bring traffic to your own blog, but you shouldn’t comment for commenting sake. Know that what you say reflects positively or negatively on your own blogs.
Here are 3 tips to follow when adding your two cents:
- Write or ask something intelligent that extends the conversation.
- Teach something new.
- Make a provactive statement that makes others react. And, no, that doesn’t mean being nasty if you want to be controversial.
Finally, while its nice if others respond to the comments you’ve made, don’t take it personally if you don’t get a reaction. When you can, jump into conversations and connect – you’ll never know what can happen!
