One of the easiest ways to promote your blog is to leave a comment on another blogger's post. Most of the time people who leave comments will come back to see what others have said about the post and if you have comment moderation on they will want to know if you have approved their comment. I have had more people come back to my blog to leave a comment after I have left a comment of my own. Most bloggers actually care about the comments that are left behind when you visit their blog and a lot of bloggers will respond to comments that you leave, whether it be just a short thank you for your comment or something that will add to the discussion in the comment section of your blog.
Part of getting comments on your blog is to be active in leaving comments on the blogs that you visit. A lot of bloggers have an image on their blog that simply says "U Comment - I Follow" which tells you that they will come back to your blog to see what you have to offer. Now not all bloggers will do this, and not all of them that do have one of those images. The fact that you are participating and helping other bloggers to get to know you through what you have to say is important.
Friends made through blogging are some of the best Internet friends you will make. Interacting with them will help drive traffic to your site. It is important that you make yourself known if you are promoting your blog. All of the click exchange sites are bad for Google's Adsense programs and I recommend that you do not use them. You have to create a buzz for your blog to get people to visit and read what you have to say.
Now of course you have to have good content. Content is always key when you are blogging. If you are running a News and Media blog, you are going to want to stay up to date and keep you content entertaining to keep your readers coming back. On important thing to remember is that your readers do not have to comment to keep wanting to come back. If they enjoy your writing style they will comeback as long as you keep giving them something new to come back for.
In conclusion, the best reason to leave a comment it to let the reader know that not only you were there but also that you have enjoyed their post. I'm not expecting any comments here on this post because this is my youngest blog and I do not receive a lot of traffic. I have been using alternative ways to promote this blog opposed to going to Entrecard and adding this blog to just to get a few visitors. I have been using word of mouth advertising and will begin leaving this link behind on some of the comments I leave. Thanks for reading and come back for more tips on blogging.
