You need to be unique. That’s right you have to be different while commenting. Not like others just keep on posting: ” Thanks for The great post “, Thanks really Great Article, and bla..bla..bla

So how to comment

• Try to inter related the topic with your blog, articles or personal condition.
• Then write down your problem.
• Then speak out what you did to overcome it ( if possible ) or else ask the question.
• Now finally thank the author and blog owner for the post.
• Then simply share the post in your social circles, most probably the author will thank you.

So it simply means that you need to be unique and informative. Whenever there is any new update in your favourite blog, try to be the first to comment. This will be giving you maximum visibility in front of other commentators and you might also get maximum referral visits.

Utilizing the Power of Forum Posting

There must be hundreds or thousands of forums in your niche with high domain authority and traffic. What I simply do is to check the total members and then just create the account.

Forums like warrior forum, v7n, webtalkforum and similar sites are loaded with thousands of members every time. So starting any simple discussion in the trending area can be beneficial to you and will help you drive traffic for few days.

But there always few negative point of using forums in your strategy to promote your blog for free. Below I am pointing out what not to do.

• Don’t always use same anchor text to promote your blog and posts all around. { Try to use natural words }
• Don’t add the signatures with direct link to your domain. This will generate hundreds and thousands of back links with same anchor text. { You will get penalized by penguin }
• Don’t always post links to your webpages. { You get banned }
• Try to be simple and very easy with senior members. { Give thanks for their posts }

Outbond Links: Trackbacks

If the site to which you are going to link from within your page has trackback enabled then most probably you will receive one nofollow back links and few visitors. Now it completely depends on the websites for the trackback link position. I mean if they position it above comment area then you will see lots of views, and if below the comment area then very few.

Linking to blogs like copyblogger, quicksprout, thinktraffic, briangardner will help you.  These sites have large number of regular readers and get lots of direct organic visitors. Overall having link on such domain will help you a lot.

Promote Your Blog With Social Media

Just focusing on the organic visitors will surely affect your page-views and impressions one day. Since Google is always bringing updates in their algorithms and sometimes many real and genuine bloggers get in hands of penguin and panda without doing any thing wrong.

So take your campaign to the next generation level by implementing social media and bookmarking sites in your strategy. Not only bloggers and webmasters are now moving toward social media but most probably till 2013 mid; search engines will give maximum weightage to social signals to rank any article on search result pages.

Most of the services also offer dofollow backlinks to your internal pages and it will help you alot in long run. They help you build better presence in front of millions of other members. These sites help you connect you with your customers and readers directly without spending any money.
