traffic to your website.
Blog commenting
Blog commenting when done effectively will help you to generate targeted traffic to your website. Find
relevant blogs or sites within your niche and comment on the blog posts. Make sure you read the posts, understand what is been said and give a sensible comment. Don’t go around spamming people blogs, it’s a total waste of time. 99% of blog owners always read your comments before they approve them. If your comments looks spammy, they will disapprove of your comment. Write comments that have value for what was been discussed in the blog post.
