Every week, most of you probably read blogs and online articles in your industry. You have your favorites that you read faithfully to ensure you are up to date with the latest trends and best practices. I know that I do.
Have you ever noticed that below many of the blogs, there is a space for comments along with a space to leave your web address?
Most of the time you just glance at the comments others have written. You often think, “I have something to say about that,” but then you stop yourself and think, “I’m too busy for this.” So you click away from the site.
Big mistake.
By not blog commenting, you are missing out on an easy opportunity to win some coveted link juice for your website, which may help improve your website’s rankings on search engines.
Don’t write garbage of course. If you really have nothing to say, then don’t comment. But if you can’t find something useful to say on a topic in your own industry; most likely, you’re just being lazy.
There are other benefits, too. Blog commenting widens your reach. Besides the link juice, someone might just go to your website and become a customer!
If you don’t read any blogs, just do a search for blogs in your industry and you’ll find plenty to peruse. Over time, mix it up and post comments on lots of different blogs.
Easy Web Tip #134: Blog Commenting is a super easy way to get link juice and boost your website’s ranking. Just take a few moments to comment on an industry blog and be sure to leave your website address in the space provided.
