Why Blog Comments 💬 are a Powerful Way to Build Traffic and Backlinks 🔗

Traffic, meaning human eyeballs, are the lifeblood of your online business whether that be a blog or website or getting traffic to your landing pages so you can make affiliate commissions. Without traffic, you might as well live on the moon, digitally speaking.

There are three main ways to get traffic to your blog, website or landing page:

• Pay for Traffic: certainly a legit way to get traffic but nowhere near as powerful or as valuable as natural traffic. To most people, online ads are just a nuicance and even if someone clicks on the banner or classified ad you paid for, the mindset of the person clicking on that medium of traffic is already a defensive one. No one likes to be sold but they do love to buy.
• Natural Search Engine Traffic: this is the way most valid websites get their traffic. People search for what they are looking for in a search engine and about 80% - 90% of people on the internet use Google. This is probably the best way to get traffic but it as always a struggle for most websites. Even if or when you get some good web pages that are showing up on the first page of search results, there are always other web pages fighting for your spot so you never really get to relax.
• Blog Comments: probably the second best way to get traffic. Many web pages have some sort of commenting system built in to their website. The comments section is always at the bottom of the web page.

The a blog comment works is simple:

1. You write your own opinion or thoughts about the web page content.
2. Enter a name and email address (can be a real name and email or a fake name and email).
3. Click the button to submit the comment.

The REAL trick is getting the owner of the website to approve your comment.

Most blog comments don't automatically get posted. They are held for review by the website owner. As a website owner myself, I can tell you that if your attitude is to just post any old sort of blog comment just for the purpose of forcing a backlink to your website on others, your blog comment will not get approved.

How to do Blog Comments 💬 that Get Approved

1. Before posting a blog comment, read the blog. Having your blog comment be directly related to and about the content of the blog and not just some generic 'hey what a great post' kind of comment.
2. Before posting a comment think to yourself 'How can I offer something of real value to both the readers of the comment and the owner of the blog?' Although giving the blog or website owner a written pat on the back about what a great article it was and why has some value, try to really think of something you can offer the owner of the blog or website that will be of some real value. Try to think of how to offer something in your blog comment that will make both the readers AND the website owner feel real positive and thankful for your blog comment. This can be a challenge but it will be well worth the effort as the percentage of your blog comments that get approved with skyrocket. If your blog comment does not get approved, you have wasted everyones time.

How to Insert the Backlink Hyperlink 🔗 in the Blog Comment 💬

In relation to the part above about how to do a blog comment that gets approved, try to tie in the value you are offering (to the readers of your blog comment and the blog or website owner) within the url or backlink you are going to leave in the blog comment.

As far as the actual mechanics of creating a backlink in a blog, in most cases you can just paste the url or web address of the hyperlink into the text area where you are placing your comment and when the comment is posted is should automatically be posted as a clickable hyperlink within the blog comments.

With that being said, Here is the template for the HTML code to create a hyperlink:

• <a href="http://www.theUrlOfTheBacklink.com">The Text you Want to be Hyperlinked in the Blog Comment</a>

It may be possible to not even have to leave a backlink within your comment. A higher percentage of blog comments will get approved if they DON'T have a backlink because the owner of the blog or website is less likely to perceive the comment as spam.

As an example, if you do a Google search for your chosen keyword phrase that you are posting blog comments about and the web page you wish to build traffic to already shows up in the top 4 or 5 search results, just leave a comment telling people to Google your chosen keyword phrase. They will find your web page without you having to leave a backlink.

How to Find Blogs or Web Pages that Allow Comments 💬

1. Do a Google search for the keyword phrase that is related to the web page of blog post you want to create a blog backlink to. Don't use a specialized search like allintitle: or allinurl: or anything like that because normally people do not do a Google search like that. You want to post blog comments on web pages that appear on the first page of search results. The pages that show up on the first page of search results are the pages that see the most traffic and that means the most possible number of people that will see your blog comment and click on the backlink to bring you traffic. Just do a normal search without and quotes " " or brackets [ ] within the search.
2. Click search results links for all the pages on the first page of the search results, in other words, the top 10 search results.
3. Scroll to the bottom of each of the top 10 search results and look to see if there is a blog comment form for you to leave a comment.
