The importance of quality comments on blogs

Friday, March 20th, 2009

I have written this article on my Romanian blog and the feed-back was amazing, so I thought I’d translate it for you too, those who are not that proficient in a not too famous language. It deals with comments we write on other blogs and the need for them to be of a top quality.

Most of the times we think our job as a blogger ends when it comes to the content we create on the project. We think of interesting unique articles and hope this is all we need to do. Still, many of us are also avid blog readers and comment on them, not thinking too much of the advantages we can get from doing this the right way.

Here are some of my reasons to take my comments seriously:

1. By posting a good quality comment I show the blogger how much I appreciate the effort he/she put in the article.

Yeah, I know it’s recession and people get fired. We’re less inclined to think about others when all we hear on the news is about the financial problems the entire world is facing. So how do I come to tell you we need to be more interested in others too, not just ourselves?

What blogs should we comment on?

Friday, March 7th, 2008

The job of keeping a blog updated and trying to promote it means writing content. A lot of content on the site and off the site. We’ll try to discuss now about the content we write outside our blog to be promoted. This can happen by putting a link in our signature and posting in the forums that allow this and also posting good comments on other blogs.

How to comment lucrative on other blogsBut how do we find those blogs that are worth it? What blogs would be more beneficial for us to comment on?

Some blogs might be worth the effort since we just like the content, others would bring in some good traffic, others are SEO friendly for our links, some even place a column with the information about the people who commented and a link to the blog we promote and so on. We’ll start from the “weakest” in the list to the “strongest” types of blogs when it comes for us to also benefit from this. (more…)

Blog comments: how to make sure the blogger will really hate you

Friday, March 7th, 2008

This blog article is a parody, please treat it like this ;) 

Blog comments are one of the few ways we can interact: bloggers and visitors. We can share similar experiences with the ones the author is presenting, we can promote our blog with that link, we can meet other interesting bloggers and in the end socialize in a very educated manner.

We all love blog comments. We write and hope people like our articles. We cherish their input and hope we can get as much feed-back as possible from the people who visit our blogs.

As a blog commenter one can distinguish from others in a good or unpleasant way. Here is a “twisted” article, a mock if you want, teaching you how to make sure the blogger will hate you and probably even ban you afterwards. Of course, do the opposite and you’ll really get near his/her heart.

How to start a blog?

Friday, March 7th, 2008

I got such a question from a visitor on my Romanian Blog and I thought it would be nice to not just discuss this privately with him, but to create an article. And since that article was well received by other Romanians interested in blogging, I thought now that it would be nice to make it available internationally.

1. What does a blog need?

It’s the first thing we need to discuss: a blog needs QUALITY content, updated frequently (some talk about daily updates, most of us who want some traffic try to write as frequently as possible, 1 article per day or even more). There is a lot of work to be done most of the time in order to create a good blog.

We don’t take too much into account the revenue right now, but in time, after months of work, it’s a good idea to also earn a decent buck. You won’t be able to buy a car from the advertising revenue for instance, but it would be enough to pay for the domain renewals and maybe hosting. I can understand you think about this as a hobby, but in time it would be pretty good to also get something from it, not only the pleasure of having a good blog.
It’s very important for you to understand a blog requires work and dedication. And no, I won’t hide it from you, it’s absolutely amazing to have a blog, there is a lot of satisfaction in it, so don’t hold back.
