Blog Comments - (A subset of Link Building)

Much like Forum Marketing, commenting on other people’s

Blogs is a great way to build incoming links and also network

in your niche.

Finding blogs that are on your niche topic is as easy as going to Blogger’s search

at:

http://search.blogger.com

, to a great tech head’s site called Technorati:

http://technorati.com

, or directly to Google’s whole web Blog Search at:

http://blogsearch.google.com

.

Once you’v e found a blog that is on your topic, I recommend bookmarking it and

the others you find into the same folder so you can watch them from time to time.

What’ you’re looking for is a question that you can answer. If you simply make a

posting that sounds lik e an advertisement, they you’ll be spamming the blog, and

surely the blog’s owner will delete it, and may even ban your IP address.

The trick is to answer a question someone else asks with your business being

part of the solution. You want to show off your expertise without sounding too

arrogant, and of course you want to get a link in. Always offer help and advice,

and only market yourself when it’s part of a solution to someone else’s question.

The real benefits of this method are long term, as you want to be found by both

SE Spiders and humans alike, talking authoritatively on your niche subject. No

one blog posting will bring in tons of visitors, however, and you aren’t going to

find the ‘ripe’ questions out there every day.
