The Value of Blog Commenting
I think that I can pinpoint 2 different ways in which blog commenting can help your blog grow into what you want it to become. Here they are:
The first way might be the most important for a developing blog and that is gaining exposure. In order for a blog to be successful, people have to know that you're blogging. Well, let's say that you're a starting blogger who has amazing content and hoping to get your rightful place in the blogosphere. The problem is that nobody knows that you're blogging, and all of your great content is going to waste since you have no readers.
The solution for you is to start commenting on the popular blogs in your niche. I'm not talking about two word comments that give no value to the blogger or the reader. I mean 100-200 word worthwhile comments that provide insight to the blog post that was not there before. You have to show the audience that you know what you're talking about and that there is a reason for them to check out your blog to read your stuff. This has 2 advantages: Firstly, the readers of that blog will click on your link and head over to your blog. These people will contribute since it's as focused traffic as you're going to get, and each new reader is important. Moreover, the blogger himself will be attracted to your blog and that might mean a future backlink in a post from him which takes us to the second way.
The second way that blog commenting will help you is that they provide valuable backlinks to your site. Backlinks from your fellow bloggers' websites are valuable since they are from relevant sites that have quality content related to your website. This is the best type of backlink that there is. Many bloggers though have made their backlinks nofollow which means that you will not receive credit for leaving a backlink on such a site. This can still be valuable for you in terms of exposure and I would encourage leaving comments on nofollow blogs that are popular and well read while ignoring the fact that the backlink itself will not help you that much.
Blog commenting should not be overlooked as a way of developing your blog. Your organic traffic will increase based on the SERPs that will improve with the new backlinks and the direct traffic that you will receive will also prove beneficial.
