Weekly Video Post
The Power of Commenting On Other Blogs [VIDEO]
05 Jun 2008 / 80 Comments





You’ve probably heard the age old ‘how to find readers for your blog’ advice that goes:

“Leave Comments on Other Blogs”

It was one of the first tips that I was given on how to find new readers for my blog five years ago and it’s one of the first pieces of advice that I hear most people giving still today. It’s so common in fact that I think that many of us gloss over it looking for a ’sexier’ way to drive readers to our blogs.

But today as I analyzed the post featured in this video I saw something that drummed home to me the power of leaving relevant comments on blogs as a way of driving traffic.

The tool I’m using in this screencast video is CrazyEgg - a click tracking tool that creates a heatmap of where readers click when on your blog.

I do want to emphasize again - that the strategy of building traffic to your blog by leaving comments on other blogs only works when your comments ad value and are relevant to the post. If you don’t adhere to this you’ll just end up hurting your reputation.
