Fuel Your Blogging How To Maximize The Power Of A Single Blog Comment December 1, 2009 at 10:00 am The secret I am about to reveal works… want it or not, believe it or not, your blog comments will become more potent than you've ever witnessed and it will be your job to handle the popularity. I know many of you have read around the blogosphere that a secret to becoming an online celebrity is posting as many comments as you can. What if I told you that those articles were all wrong? You would want to know what’s right then. What is right, is that one of the secrets to becoming an online celebrity is to post few comments that count and do what you do best the rest of the time. Here is how. Comment at the right place Go to Technorati or Alexa who rank the most popular blog posts and websites online. Note that Technorati will help you look for blog posts while Alexa will help you look for websites. Type in your field of interest (example: Home Improvement). At Alexa, select one of your top 3 search results in terms of popularity. At Technorati, select one of your top 3 search results in terms of number of comments and age (do not go for posts older than 4 days). Comment the right way In case you still ignored it, comments on articles are arranged from the oldest ones down. That is, the oldest comments appear immediately below the articles and the most recent ones are dumped far below in the comments section. Because some people do not have the habit of reading all the comments after posts, your comments need to appear early enough below articles to be seen by such people + the other type of readers = All the readers. Which brings us to the next step. 1. When commenting, be yourself. It is because of your uniqueness that people will be drawn to you. If you had to speak with the same kind of people and get the same kind of answers all your life, it is long since you would have shot yourself. Comment with a fresh point of view. Especially if some people have commented before you. We're better noticed when separated from crowds than within them. Dare. Girls love it. Readers more. Set up a conversation. The best way to do that is by challenging the reader's mind and pre-acquired knowledge. If the conversation gets going, it could end up being more interesting than the article itself and eventually arouse people's curiosity towards you. Always link your comment to your site/blog Almost every blog allows you to insert a link to a website of your choice on your commenter's name. For people who follow the "comment as much as you can" rule, it quickly gets boring to link all comments to their site.  But by decreasing the number of comments you make around the internet in an effort to make a few ones that really count, it becomes a lot easier to remember about comment-linking. I have personally tested this and seen results, but I will keep that story for a future article. If there is something that you feel I omitted in these steps, please add it in the comments section below this article. Now… be the first to comment!
