Commenting on other blogs are one the ways to get people know about your blog. Let me first give you a brief info about the advantages of commenting on other blogs. Usually on every blog you need to enter 4 information, Name, URL of your blog, email and finally the comment. Let me first tell you that 99% of comments are tagged with rel-nofollow, so don’t expect any boost in back links or any SEO gains.

What are the advantages of commenting ?

Let others know about your blog. Your comment will have your name with link to your blog. There are chances that you get visitors from this link.

You get popular if you are a regular commenter and establish yourself as an active member in the community.

Where should you comment?

Don’t just go to any blog and comment. Select the blogs that you should comment. The blog where you comment should be of the same category that your blog is. Reason, you are expecting visitors who will be interested in your blog content and is of same category. Don’t expect a regular reader from a SEO blog if your blog is related to tourism. The visitors of a SEO blog will not be interested in reading your articles related to Tourism.

How to Comment?

Don’t just write, nice post, Visit my blog, I like it, these are not accepted comments. Your comment may be marked as spam and will not be showing up. Write a comment which will be noted by others and some may even reply to your comments.

What to comment?

Your comment can be contradictory or supporting, but be clear with your idea, brief and to the point comments will be welcomed and noticed by all the other visitors. Comments should not have more than one link, I would suggest to avoid links in comments

Commenting on other blogs are really important and will really help you in building a community and sharing ideas. Don’t feel shy to come out with your thoughts. Commenting has lots of power and sometimes more powerful than a post on your blog. One more tip that I would like to add to this post is to maintain your identity or brand. You should use the same name all the time to comment in all the blogs that you comment. This will enable you to establish yourself as a regular and active member of the blogging community.
