I got a good feeling reading your comments. Almost as good as I get from leaving comments :)

People have commented on my blog and it gave me a great feeling. Really felt connected and grateful that I was able to make a difference. I have now started to do the same, even though not as often as I will be doing from now on. Thanks for this blog post.

I am new to active internet marketing. This blog post is an excellent training tool for any newbie. Unless I am mistaken this is one of the more important things any marketer, new or been around awhile, should be doing on a regular basis. We can all learn from each other and help each other, as you are with this post. Thank you for the eye opening revelation.

Thanks for the tip. I've always meant to write a comment when I've read a blog post but haven't done so very often. I've decided to change that starting with this blog. It's a way of saying thank you. Brenda

The comments are content.. but more important is the connection with other bloggers.

When anyone gets started with a blog, everyone tells them to put out as much content as possible & get it out there to be seen. Many either neglect to tell a new blogger about comments and those oh so valuable links or they simply don't know it themselves. Way to go!

Excellent point Warren -- commenting on blog posts is a terrific way for authors to build their platform and develop relationships. I recommend setting up Google Alerts at http://www.google.com/alerts for your most important keywords. Check your alerts at least once a week for relevant blog posts where you can add value to the conversation by leaving a comment.

A creative and honest comment about honest mistakes. :)

You might be surprised to learn that I know how to spell, but ofttimes type posts with my clumsy fingers in type smaller than I should.

This is not an excuse.. just the honest truth. I'll fix those errors straight away and ask for your forgiveness

Honest comment? Your “releatoinships” and other potential “relationsships” would also be ''encouranged” to take your expertise and intelligent comments a lot more seriously if you checked your spelling on your web “sties”. :-) sorry Otherwise, you offer excellent networking advice.

Lyn

I'd like to help you write better blog comments.

I'm going to assume you read the post and are sincerely wanting to comment. I'll also assume that you are hear to learn so I'm going to use you as an example.

Your comment is just about perfect for what will get you banned as spam and disliked by bloggers. After a non-specific sentence you put in 3 more sentences of pure advertising content.

The only redeeming quality is that yours English is goo. That will what look like a real email address and name kept me from hitting he "mark as spam" button.

I understand you are excited to help people, but no one here was talking about health or asking questions. You used not 2 links where zero would be appropriate. For search engine indexing, you won't get meaningful links and chances are no human will ever find them.

I don't want to discourage you. I urge to try again. Talk about what you see in a post, and never bring up your site unless it solves a problem for the readers of the blog or you are asked a direct question.

A professional does not give a sales pitch to everyone they meet. Assuming that you want to help people, please try to refrain from giving a pitch when you are talking to people you don't know. Wait till they show some interest and you'll get much better results (and have more fun)

That's a great point Warren – always good to remember that it's not “traffic” you want but connections.
