Commenting on Blogs has Many Benefits

If you have a blog, you want traffic. And one of the best ways to generate it is to comment on other blogs, particularly those in your niche.

The benefits are manifold:

Firstly, if the blog you comment on is a dofollow blog, then you will get some search engine juice from the comment.

One way to find these blogs is to Google for them. You just have to include the word "dofollow" and any other keyword or phrase you choose. You're bound to find a few of them this way. A search for "dofollow blogs list" will return many results, too.

You can also search for blogs with the CommentLuv plugin. Not every one of these blogs has dofollow installed, but quite a few of them do. Find 10 of these blogs, and maybe 3 or 4 will be dofollow.

You should also look for blogs with the Top Commentator plugin. If you become a top commentator - and often all you need to do is to post just one comment - you end up getting a dofollow link that is usually sitewide. That is, it appears on every page of the website, not just the particular post you commented on. It's like getting a permalink in the blog panel - except that it's not permanent, since it usually lasts for a month or some other finite period.

If you accumulate a list of these blogs and comment on them from time to time, you will certainly improve your traffic from search engines over the long term.
