Comment Marketing is also known as one of the ways to drive traffic to a blog. Comment marketing is commonly used by a new blog to achieve a certain traffic because they are desperately want to gain instant traffic. Sometimes I find it’s funny to see a forum post with title like this “How to Get 1000 Visitors in One Day”.

I can accept that because It is one of the copywriting skills to create a headline that grabs attention.

But do you know that commenting also requires skills? This idea appeared when I was sleeping in the car (It is said that ideas always comes out when you’re relaxing).

Perhaps it is one of the habit I usually follow. I am expecting a good result by doing so. I’ll guarantee that your comments will work better if you follow these habits.

1. Add Value, Share Your Experience

I often see a comment that said “Thank you, it is great”. I feel great whenever I receive comments like that because I know readers find the post helpful. But it will be greater to add value into your comments rather than a simple thank you.

How to add value?

Easy, all you need to do is to choose some of your blog post which you think really relevant and can add value to the blogger’s post. Share what you’ve known related to the blog post. Using search engine to provide more content can also add more value in your comment.

2. Leaving Feedback to Fellow Commenter

After you add value into your comment, blog owner and his readers will read the comment too. Especially if your comment carries value.

Well, what’s next?

The comment form always let us to leave our website URL. Most of times,the commenter will leave their homepage URL. Now let’s change this habit, everytime you post a comment, leave your most relevant blog post in the comment form. If you do this way, you’re not only adding value but also turn his readers become your readers too.

3. Comment on Related Blog

If your solely purpose is to turn visitors into readers, then the best ways is to comment on relevant blog. Beside the content of your blog and the blog you comments are similar, it can also let your blog post have more exposure because most of time you’ll have more opportunity to leave high value comment in their blog.
