When launching a blog one of the key components to the effort is interacting with other blogs in your given niche. You can write all the content you want, but with seven million blogs you’re going to need to get out and communicate in order for people to find you.

One key method for doing that is commenting.

Here are some key benefits to blog commenting:

  • The ability to share your opinion and develop yourself as a niche expert.

  • Commenting shows you’re going to be active in a community and willing to offer up thoughts.

  • The authors of the sites on which you comment will be intrigued and oftentimes visit your site to see what you’re all about. Thus, your readership has a chance to grow.

  • If you’re one of the first to comment on a very popular post, other readers will follow the link to your site and see who was on top of the latest popular story.
