Every website/blog owners are always looking for ways to get traffic everytime. Anyone can easily drive loads of traffic instantly but most of them are by paying a fee(Pay-per-click).
While there are people paying to get traffic, not all of us are able or want to spend money without thinking of the budget. But on the good side, there are actually many ways to drive traffic without a cost too(Free!).
Let me share with you one method that doubled my traffic instantly without a fee.
This method will work well only if you put in some time and effort. If you couldn’t, then I advise you not to read on.
The method that I’m teaching you is by commenting on blog posts that are :
1. Research
In order to get the most and targetted traffic to your website/blog, firstly you must find blogs that are related to your niche. Secondly, these blogs must have a good amount of traffic/readers reading it.
To do that, I use Google Blog Search – http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en
It’s one of the more reliable service that I’ve used so far, and the plus point is that it’s totally free!
2. Be Choosy
After you have found some blogs that are related to yours, now it’s time to dive in and get the most out from them. But in order to do that, you must make sure the blog posts that you are going to comment on are the “latest” if not “the most commented” ones.
3. Commenting Approach
While many have spam the comment areas in popular blogs, that doesn’t mean they got their way through.. Most of these spam ended up blocked and blacklisted.
Below is a list of characteristics you should look into when you comment on blogs:
- Real Identity
- Your Primary Email (Only Seen By The Blog Owner)
- Friendly Salutation
- Don’t Spam
- Helpful Comments Relating To Blog Posts
- Your Own Blog Posts Url (*Optional* – Unless this url is fully related to the post you are commenting on)
- Be Friendly
- No Criticism (Save it to yourself even if the posts isn’t up to your standard – Don’t be a public enemy)
Below is an example of how I would comment and you should follow:
Hey “Blog Owner”
This is a really good post regarding parrot training.
Although you suggested controlling their diet during training period, I did fairly well without starving them but instead adding in tasty treats to blend in their cravings during training.
Some of the treats I use:
- Honey Fruitbars
- Fruits (Especially berries)
- Corn
I do have a post regarding how I train my parrots while using the treats I mentioned effectively, hope it can be of any use to your readers. http://www.erwintan.com/parrottraining101

4. Repeat The Process
Now move on to more relevant blog posts and give some helpful comments. If your comments are helpful, readers may willingly flock to your site.
Why is that so? Well, most of the commented posts are usually good and interesting posts that might have been Digged or Retweet over and over again, driving loads of readers to it and there is always a huge possiblity that they will go to yours after reading your helpful comment.
And let’s not forget the blog owners may even blog/linkback/blogroll your site thus bringing your site/blog traffic/making it viral/helping you build your brand as well.
Hope that this post could help you get more targetted readers to your blog – especially those who are just starting out. Do leave a comment below and share with us how you tweak your commenting style.
