Commenting
on Blogs and Forums A
Great Way to Make Yourself Part of the Community. Whilst
you're in your 'research' phase and looking at other peoples' blogs, you
can start to see who the real players are. Blog Search Engines like technorati.com
help you to find the categories of blogs that you're looking for. After
a while, it's a good idea to start commenting on other people's blogs. The idea is that in the 'blogosphere' life is usually less formal than on regular business websites. This means bloggers are more receptive to linking and helping each other out. This
policy of adding value to other people's blog in your industry will be
repaid when you have your on blog and you know other bloggers that would
want to link to your blog because you are giving information that will
be beneficial to their visitors as well. Far
better to be king of the blogs in a small niche and then be an integral
part of the blogging community and so gain the leverage of other people's
information and networking. Of
course, the additional benefit of researching other people's blogs and
commenting on them and in turn updating your own blog is that you'll have
plenty of material pre-written for your email communications and also
fuel for article directories if that's part of your strategy as well. Mike
