Generate Lots of Traffic: Leave Comments on Other Sites

Commenting other sites, forums and blogs is actually quite effective in generating lots of traffic for you. In fact, even you do not write on your own blog, you can derive benefits by commenting and putting your backlink on the blogs of others. But why are comments essential? Basically, comments let you reach out to people on a more personal level. You will be able to reveal a glimpse of your personality. Unfortunately, a lot of people have the same idea as you. Here are some suggestions to help you get the best out of commenting on other sites, forums and blogs:


  • Comment early. If possible, be the first to make your comment as this helps you stand out from the rest. Visitors will see your comment first but not necessarily the last comment. Add value to the site content so that the author and visitors will appreciate your comments.

  • Give an example. You need to add value to the post. By giving an example, it will stress their point and make it easier for their readers to understand. By doing this and adding your backlink, visitors will also be more likely to visit your site because they want to know more about the things you can share.

  • Extend the discussion. You can add your point that the writer may have failed to notice. People will see that your post is worthwhile because of this.

  • Disagree. You can stand out by disagreeing with the author and other people who have commented on the post. Remember, always be respectful. Arguing can just get you into trouble!

  • Write with some feelings. Writing with passion and feelings in your comments will make people curious about the person behind the post. Therefore, they will be inclined to click on your link.

  • Use humor. You can improve your traffic significantly by making other people laugh. People appreciate someone with a sense of humor whether online or offline. Take advantage of this.

  • Ask questions. Comments with questions are the ones that get the most response from visitors compared to all other comments.
