I’ve noticed, in the past couple days, that my readers are re-tweeting my articles and videos using tewmeme (and I’m grateful.. really!) But.. there are so many more benefits to commenting on blogs.
So I decided to create this short 7 minute video, to show you how you can benefit from using blog commenting as a social media marketing and traffic strategy.
Enjoy!

Very good point Hector. There are some things that just cannot be automated..and are so important to branding and leadership. Posting blog comments is one of those things. Thanks for putting it out there.
Peace and Abundance,
Deborah Tutnauer
Thanks Deborah..
Yes, I agree that it’s one of those things you can’t “outsource” or “automate” – If you’re gonna do it.. might as well do it right.. your brand can really suffer if you don’t.

Thanks for the great content! Creating backlinks using this method can actually become a high PR Content link, but I didn’t think about the branding side of things.
Can you please give me the names of the Plugins you are using for this?
It would be much appreciated.

Hector – Awesome content! I have found that many readers are reluctant to comment. But we still have to keep encouraging them to takes a couple of minutes provide some feedback. Your video outline the benefits and should help increase commenting.
Thanks for sharing.

Hey Hector,
Great video my friend. Very clear and very relevant….couldn’t agree more about the effect on your own brand by not being ‘active’ with your contacts.
Thanks,

Nice post Hector. You put all benefits from commenting together. But I never heard before about commentluv. Something new for me.

Thanks John
Yea, I tried to combine every element to give you guys more incentive to comment & I really recommend you do the same because one thing I didn’t mention is that every time someone comments, Google views that post as a fresh new post because there’s activity happening.
Just more reason to encourage participation like I’m doing here..

Great info Hector, comments are so overlooked many people are just know starting to understand.

Hi Hector:
Thanks for the video. So true about commenting, there are so many benefits. Personally, I enjoy comment on blogs because if I learned something I want to share it with the blogger. The blogger will get a gauge on which topics to write more of and what the readers like.
.-= Jane´s last blog ..Stepping into Your Power and Facing Your FEARS… Part I =-.
Hey Jane,
I learn from the blogs I visit regularly also & yea, you’re right.. comments really do tell the owner what topic people enjoy and relate to the most..

Hector,
Great point my friend. It seems people might be getting a little bit lax in their communicating. Blogging is really an extension of Social Networking, and most people don’t realize that. Like yourself, I love comments that get a conversation started.

.-= Jordan Schultz´s last blog ..How Bad Do You Want To Achieve MLM Success- Will You Really Do Whatever It Takes =-.
He Jordan,
Yes.. I agree. I think it’s because the internet is still so “cold” to most people, and so they hide behind their computer screen. It’s essential to understand that REAL Relationships can be built by social networking..
..those who do, will benefit a lot..
thanks for stopping by bro, talk soon..

Hi Hector,
that was a great video that should motivate and encourage everyone to syndicate blog content. That’s true teamwork and leveraging each other’s time, work and effort – and beneficial for every partner. Have a great weekend and take care.

I never realized the value of commenting on others’ posts until I started my own blog. It’s a great way to engage the author and other readers. And who doesn’t love free advertising.

Hey Seth,
the best part is that it’s free, and you’re right… who doesn’t love free advertising?

Hector,
I love being the first one to comment on a fresh new blog post… It’s like getting a piece of real estate on their blog.
… then after commenting, you syndicate the crap out of it!
I like the top commentator plug in… but I don’t think it works if you have the Disqus commenting system installed.
Thanks for the Great tips!
- Yo
.-= Yo Le´s last blog ..5 Principles That Govern The “Law Of Importance” And Why You Should Care… =-.
Yo,
Same here, being the first one to comment is a great traffic strategy – as you can probably tell with the number of comments this post has Deborah is getting quite a bit of traffic from this very post.
But you made a great point.. what’s the point of commenting first if nobody comes to read the post – syndicating the article will make sure the author gets readers and you get clicks.. it’s a win-win. – I think I’m gonna make a post about that
I don’t know much about the disqus system – So I wouldn’t know.
No problem.. thanks for sharing your thoughts..

Great video, Hector. I absolutely agree with you that you can create content for your blog by answering questions that others have. I teach that same strategy and it’s so simple. Thanks.

Wow good info Hector. I believe wholeheartedly in Commenting on blogs. Great info!!!
Hey Todd,
Thanks for stopping by.. It’s great to hear you believe in it. It’s a great strategy to use.

Hector you may want to look at your top commentator’s plugin, since there is a field in there that allows you to exclude your own login IDs from the list. There’s a bunch of other optional fields too. A lot of people, myself included do not run it (or most of my widgets even) on ever page. Sidebar space is at such a premium that I enjoy the diversity. I run TC on my home page (and set it to re-calculate on 60 days so that newer commentators have a chance of getting into the list). When a TC list does not display number of comments, I often do not spend the time commenting on a bunch of posts on the same blog trying to get into the TC rank because I don’t know if the target is even sanely attainable I’ve seen blogs where the TC was in excess of 50 comments. Even a blog like Katie’s that has only been around 12 months, requires 29 comments today to break into the TC. (Although in Katies favor her blog is a PR5 and thats a worthwhile task!)
Great training video on the power of commenting!
.-= Kimberly Castleberry´s last blog ..Social Media Metrics, Measuring Your Impact for Maximum ROI =-.
Hey Kimberly,
I followed your suggestion and took my name out the TC widget (didn’t know I could do that). As far as making the comments re-calculate, I actually wanna keep the names of the people who were with me from day one.. maybe I’ll add a few to the list down the road.
..and I’m a bit weary about adding the comment count because I fear people would then just comment to get on the list and not contribute to the convo..
Thanks for your well throughout comment & suggestions
Enjoy your week
Hector
Hi Hector,
I agree with you and I am commenting about twice as much in the last week. Thanks for your 2 posts today.
I have a a quick question for you… What reply plugin do you use. I installed (WordPress Thread Comment Plugin) ,but it doesn’t work with wordpress 2.9.2 which I have. So what plugin do you use?
Coach Freddie
.-= Coach Freddie´s last blog ..Genie In A Bottle =-.
Freddie,
That’s weird.. I’m using that exact plugin with WordPress 2.9.2. Try deactivating it and activating it again.
Hope that helps

Hi Hector,
I totally agree with you, I think maybe people find it easier to tweet than sit and actually write a note…

Hi Hector – I’m so glad you did this video. You’re so right that leaving comments is a great way to help with branding and backlinks.
Here is a quick story (and I’m sure this happens all the time). I recently left a comment that was value-driven on the blog of another marketing coach who serves the same target market as me. My comment added my perspective with regard to finding and attracting your ideal niche, because this is my focus. That comment was read by someone who subscribed to my list and then hired me as her coach.
So my lessons learned from this are: 1. Be sure to follow the top people that work with the same target market as you, and leave comments on their blogs where appropriate. 2. Try to add value in your comments and reinforce the value that you personally provide. Thanks and warm wishes,
Cindy

Thanks for this great story and reinforcing my point in the video. I hope this opens people’s eyes to the power of commenting and just being involved in the conversation

Well Hector I just had to comment on this one. My latest post is along the same lines and I think I have gotten less comments than usual lol. We all suffer when people don’t leave comments on any blog. There are so many points of views about a subject that could be shared,discussed or debate but that point of view has to be seen to get us thinking and how? Through commenting. Aside from like you mentioned the numerous branding advantages it’s common courtesy as well I scratch your back you scratch mine. Leave me a link to your new tribe please. Thanks for all you do.

Hector, you seem like you know your stuff. I’m going to start with commenting other blogs. So far, my website hasn’t gotten much attention. Maybe it’s cause I suck. I’m not sure. In any case, I’m gonna try these techniques.
Thanks for the great information, I am somewhat new to all of this and your tips are great!
Nice info Hector and some really nice replies.
