This particular topic has been front and center for me for the past few weeks. You see I created another blog late last year chronicling my journey that I just started after joining Alex Jeffery’s “Forward to Marketing” coaching program. He’s teaching us how to start with nothing and building a successful affiliate marketing business. It’s really going well and I’m slowing watching everything grow. It’s a great experience.
If you would like to read the blog just click on “New Super Affiliate Blog“. Now be sure to leave a comment!!!
Anyway, I’ve just started really getting serious about blog commenting and have really been seeing my traffic pick up. I was lucky enough to follow someone over to Tristen’s “Blogging Bookshelf” site.
This guy has been blogging for the past seven years and I think I’m hooked on his blog. He just wrote an awesome post on the exact topic I was going to write about. After reading his post, I knew there was no way I could do mine justice.
Plus, I thought I would take his advice and just mention his great post to my readers. I need to share more information like that and he’s right.
If you want to learn how to have success blog commenting then you need to read Tristen’s post, “10 Ways to Find TONS of Blogs to Comment On”. Great post!

Have fun blog commenting and be sure to leave me one too. Watch what starts to happen when you start interacting with others more. It’s really a great feeling!

Thanks Dee for your comment and for letting me know that Tristan has tweeted about my post. Looks like I’ll be taking more people’s advice from now on.

YES! Ahhh… Let me bask for a moment in the awesomeness of this post and your link…
I really appreciate this, Adrienne (and I just added the post to my new “Mentions” page that you can find in my nav menu). I’m thrilled that you like my blog so much! It really is my baby, and feedback like this helps keep me going (I’ve been doing blog-related stuff for something like 7 hours already today).
Thanks again! Post retweeted

Thank you so much Tristan for you awesome comment. I’m so flattered that you added it to your mentions page. Wow, wasn’t expecting that. Just decided to take your advice and share with my readers.
You have a really great blog and I would be very proud as well. I know you’ll keep up the great work as well as sharing wonderful posts with us. I am looking forward to it. So glad I finally found you.
Thanks Tristan,
Adrienne
This is a great post Adrienne!
This is what I am focusing on right now too. I am learning to network a ton with other bloggers. Comment on their blogs. Follow a bunch of people. Spread the word of my blog and learn more about other people’s blogs and new ways to do things on my blog.
It’s a win-win situation for everyone
I am enjoying it and will continue to do it in the future!!!

Why thank you Michael. Glad you enjoyed this post and took something away from it. One tip that is so important is to be sure to share the posts that you visit with your friends and followers whether you post it to your Facebook account or retweet it on Twitter. You want people sharing your content so be sure to return the favor. You become so much more attractive in everyone’s eyes when they see you sharing their content.
Good luck and have fun with this. I’ve learned so much and it’s so much fun too!
I am going to share your link on my twitter account right now!
Thanks for the pointer. Also I like your email comment plug-in. That is pretty useful. I think I’ll need to install that as well.

You are so very welcome, hope you found this helpful. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for this post Adrienne. Tristen’s article was insightful. I agree that one of the most effective strategies to increase targeted traffic, particularly to a blog, would be to comment on different blogs within the same field as you. And the good thing about this is, it only takes just an hour a day to do such a simple strategy.

You are very welcome Veronica and I appreciate you stopping by and adding your insights. Tristen is dead on and it definitely is a great way to build up an audience to your blog. As you can tell from the comments on mine, it works. Plus, it doesn’t have to take you very long. Just choose so many a day to visit and then move on to what else you have on your agenda.
Adrienne, for my modest needs i don’t need complicated techniques to find blogs, i just visit people’s websites from comments on the blogs i visit, and since i visit a lot of blogs almost every day, the new blogs i could add to my list are actually too many for me to handle.

That’s great news Lynn. Are they responding back and commenting on your blog as well? I know a lot of people I’ve come in contact with have been upset because they have commented on a lot of blogs yet no one has responded back. That’s why it’s important to locate blogs where the owners will go out of their way to visit yours and respond as well.
I’m glad to hear that you are having a lot of great success in this area. Congratulations and thanks for sharing that with us!
