  Why should you comment on anyone else’s blog? Does it serve any purpose? Can you get away without doing it?

  Well this is kind of a complex subject. Because done right it can give your site such a wonderful lift. A nice backlink which makes you stand out better for Google, and it builds a community rapport.

  But done wrong it is really a detriment, and it can cause pain to yourself and to others. And you can look like a real jerk. A friend of mine on Factoidz where I also write,  has written a very informative article about blog commenting and what the four types indicate. I think you’ll find it interesting and helpful.

  After commenting on so many blogs and reading and replying to comments on my own blogs and articles, it is safe to say that all blog commenters can be categorized into four groups.

  There are more blogs than you can count out there and new ones are launched pretty much every minute. Even I started 3 new blogs recently. With so many blogs, come many bloggers.

   Hi Susan, everybody says back links are a must and I certainly agree but it sure can be a pain. Lots of time and I sometimes wonder if it really matters. If the only reason to do it is getting a back link I say don’t bother. The best reason to comment on blogs is to add something of value to a community of people and if I get something in return (like a good link) that’s what counts.
