How To Comment On Blogs Properly

Article Title:

Article Body:

Blogs are very much a social tool. When you visit blogs and leave 
comments responsibly it doesn't take long before people will be 
visiting your blog and returning the favor. It can be an all around 
great experience to comment on blogs because you are getting 
involved in a community by building relationships, which will also 
bring you traffic to your site. Unfortunately, with all the comment 
spam going on, many bloggers become wary. If you commonly 
leave legitimate comments on other people's blog, these pointers 
will help you stay on the good side of the blogs you visit.

Don't slap your affiliate links in the comments. a blog is not the 
place to post affiliate links., Affiliate links are not acceptable This 
one single action will get you in the black books of many a blogger 
when you could build bridges instead.

Stick to the topic. Don't try to slip in some spam. If it's a business 
blog and your recommendation is not business oriented, 
recommending it makes you look like you're trying to spam. If you 
have something to raise that's relevant but not exactly on the 
same topic, a better way may be for you to blog about it and 
posting a trackback instead.

Ok, so what do you do if you strongly disagree with someone's 
blog post? Do you jump all over their post and spew your opinions 
all over the place? Let's hope not! You have every right to 
disagree with the writer, but do it in a way that you don't attack 
someone on their own property, their blog. Remember the saying, 
when you point at someone, you've got three fingers pointing back 
at you.

Use the website link and don't be greedy. Many blogs have a field 
for you to type in your URL. The blog system will usually use this 
URL to hyperlink your name to your site. Most people use it but 
some, don't and choose to post their links in the comments 
instead. Others load their URL in every place they can find making 
it look like ¨C you guessed it, spam and into the trash it'll go.

Your comment sounds too much like spam. See points above. Say 
something intelligent that contributes to the conversation. If you 
agree or disagree, tell them why. If you've had experience with the 
topic, share it.

Don't use other people's blog as a complaint center., Someone 
else's blog is not a place for you to complain endlessly., If you've 
got a problem Rant if you must, but don't turn it into a 10 page 
hate mail to the company you purchased the product from. Do it on 
your blog and send the blogger a trackback if available.

This may seem like a lot of rules and regulations but really it's just 
common sense. When visiting someone's blog you can equate 
that to visiting someone's home, so act accordingly. Commenting 
on their blogs is a great way to build your reputation in an industry 
and your circle of influence, which keeps the doors open for future 
projects. Think about others first and it will soon come back to 
you.
