Well, I must agree with the things you say. It is pretty disturbing to get different variations of the same post throughout your blog.

On another note, I’ve red some of your posts and I definitely can say that you have a healthy point of view regarding SEO and SEM.

Best regards,
Tudor

I have always made it a commitment to comment on other peoples blogs and I admit that the ones I have developed a certain relationship to actually do result in a lot of reciprocating comments.

I like the way you have put it all down in a post as it makes a lot more sense when you read it than when it’s just flapping around loosely in one’s mind.

Another good point Rodney – I hadn’t thought of that. It’s much better to be on top of the heap than buried beneath it.

Phil: And of course, chances are your comments will be nearer the top, and thus likely to get more traffic.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Rodney -

I’ve used blog commenting for awhile now and it is indeed a good method for developing a rapport with the blogger and in return one may develop new readers for one’s own blog or website. Another tip is to not just “hunt PR” by commenting on older posts but rather leave comments on new articles – they should eventually gain PR (if that’s what you’re after) and also fresher content is naturally viewed more often and therefore exposes the link to your site to a bigger audience.

Peter: Yes, it takes awhile, but what I like about this strategy is you can proactively build links to your site, rather than sitting back and hoping that people will a) discover it and b) link to it. This is of course the ultimate aim, but the catch-22 many new bloggers face is that no-one’s gonna link to their content if they don’t know about it.

Hi Rodney,

I enjoyed your post and I agree one has to have a certain strategy on blog commenting. A lot of things you mentioned are what I go through in phases too, so I have to agree what you said makes sense. It’s a learning process and I think it does take a while to see some results but it’s nice when you could see some light at the end of the tunnel when it does work isn’t it.
