Well blog commenting is one of my most favorite subjects. Of course I’m also aware, as you are, that we all aren’t here for the same reasons or to get the same results. Some people blog for pure pleasure and some use theirs to “make money”. Others use it as their marketing tool to make those connections but however they do use their blog I would hope that everyone would want to make sure that the comments they do leave will grab enough attention that people would want to check out what they are all about.viki-tech

I know a lot of people don’t always agree about CL enabled blogs. Everyone has a right to whatever they feel works best for them but I’m also not in favor of third party commenting systems. I will comment on them if I know the blogger because 1) I either already have a relationship with them or 2) I want to support them. I love to learn so I love reading posts and of course commenting. But I can’t follow some of those that leave their comments back to their blogs because they’re not allowing me any way to achieve that unless I sign up with their service and go through having to learn yet another one. Not exactly what I want to do myself.

I personally like to comment on blogs that don’t get a lot of traffic or comments. Traffic to our blogs is of course what everyone wants so I do absolutely agree with you about that. At the same time I’m all about the relationship and if I have to keep coming back to a blog that gets little traffic just so I can make them curious enough about me then I’ve reached my goal. To me it’s all about the relationship I can form with that blog owner and perhaps pick up another client along the way.

I believe all your points are relevant. Some I do well while others I admit, not so much. I still love to say I’m a work in progress. In the past I’ve commented on a heck of a lot of blogs but moving into 2022 I’m going to do my best to focus on getting even better results. I can’t be everywhere all the time although I do love to support others and I know we all started out in the same place.

You asked in the end if I knew of any other reasons we might not get traffic to our blog via blog commenting. You’ve covered everything so well that at the moment I can’t think of a thing. I do want to thank you for having my banner ad up though, that’s pretty cool to see it here on your blog. So thank you for promoting my course Adrian, I really appreciate that.
