Comments on: Strategic Commenting Can Build Blog Traffic http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2006/05/strategic-commenting-can-build-blog.html Internet Marketing News Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:15:33 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Simonne http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2006/05/strategic-commenting-can-build-blog.html/comment-page-1#comment-24006 Simonne Tue, 03 Apr 2007 13:05:02 +0000 http://localhost:8888/wp_import/2006/05/strategic-commenting-can-build-blog-traffic.htm#comment-24006 I've read Amy's article, and I found it interesting. As far as I've noticed, my comments on other blogs did not bring in so much of a traffic (compared to the organic or the social sites referred one), but this was not the point. The most important gain was that those comments brought me loyal readers and gave me the impression that I was not alone, writing for unknown people. The day when I first discovered that I had 16 subscribers to my feed was the day when I started to pay more attention to what I wrote, because I knew somebody was expecting to read it. Briefly, I can say that commenting made me write better (or at least made me try to do so). I’ve read Amy’s article, and I found it interesting.

You might write a lot of good material but if no one is reading the material. You will not boost your traffic and get additional links. I used to live in Seattle, and subscribed to a local independent bookstore's email list. The other month I received an email informing me that John McCarthy had written a new book and was promoting it. If Paul McCartney from the Beetles still has to get out there and work the room. It’s the same for every blogger, A list or Z list. That’s what I call real effective blogger relations. Andy, blogging is all about dialogue.
