Here’s a trick to get more visitors to your site. Make comments on other sites.
Not just any comments. Make engaging, entertaining and informative comments that will entice readers to click your attached link or use their search engines to find out you and more about you and more from you. .
How do you do that? Here are 4 ways you can.
1. Be generous. By all means give feedback where invited to do so meaningfully and sociably.
2. Be funny. If you can think of something amusing to say about the content then by all means do.
3. Be kind. Although some contents do deserve a good dressing down, you should make every effort to state your dissent with as much tact as you can muster with little to no crassness included. (Therefore, No Trolling)
4. Be consistent. Site owners appreciate your patronage and tend to reward regular comments with privileges like hosting your banner on their site, or adding you to their blogroll, or directly their readers to your site, or commenting on your site too.
Yes, comments are increasingly becoming a important factor in existing online. As the internet becomes more interactive where site owners can now track who views their site, which sites they are coming from and which sites they go to, where users can link their various social networking profiles, and where with the use of the Intense Debate plugin, the history of comments made across the web by WordPresss bloggers can be made and voted upon by peers, you should be interested in becoming a top notch commentator and building a reputation online.
Further more, a good reputation online serves at least one good purpose. Commenting regularly and substantially in any community creates a presence that allows you certain privileges within that group and everyone know communities support their most popular members. Will that be you?
