Another free traffic generation technique is blog commenting. There is a right and wrong way to implement this. Let's start by telling you what not to do. Never post spam comments as these will get deleted and will not benefit you at all. Instead be sure to do a search for blogs related to the particular topic of your website.
Find 2-3 blogs that are relevant to your market.
Pick one username for every blog, possibly the username used to post on your own blog, forums or social media sites.
Read their blogs daily not only for tips and information but so you can comment on each article they upload.
Start by locating blogs in your niche. You probably already know of some, but you can locate more by doing searches for your keywords at Technorati.com and Blogsearch. Google.com. When you find these blogs, subscribe to their RSS feeds so that you will be notified when there are new posts.
Get Google to notify you when they find a post on your topic by setting up Google Alerts for your keywords. You can take advantage of this free service at Google.com/alerts. Don't forget to add these blogs to your RSS feed reader, too.
By looking for blogs that target the same types of readers as your site, you can find people who will want to read what you have to say. They will be more likely to visit your site, subscribe to your updates, and come back again and again.
To get the most traffic from your blog commenting, look for blogs that get the most traffic. You can get some idea of a blog's popularity from their Alexa.com ranking or Technorati authority. However, even a blog that does not receive a lot of traffic can be a good place for you to comment if their visitors are part of your target market, so don't automatically exclude smaller or newer blogs.
