Blog comments are a great way of increasing traffic to your blog. Leaving strong comments in other people’s blogs helps to increase blog traffic since it adds something that is valuable to the community. The people who see and read the comments you have left on other sites will have a reason to visit your blog since they might be interested to know more about you.
The other great thing about comments is that they don’t attract just any traffic, but traffic which is targeted to the particular subject or niche that your blog is focused on. The people reading your comments and eventually visiting your blog are people who are particularly interested in the subjects covered in the blog.
There are several ways of increasing the likelihood that readers will be interested in visiting your blog after viewing your comments.
Respect the community surrounding the blog
Every blog online has its own community. Each community has its own expectations of behavior and rules within the blog. Though many such blogs don’t have written rules, it doesn’t mean that they don’t have some sort of guidelines. It is crucial that you are aware of these rules, and that you adhere to them.
Leave strong comments
You could elaborate on points which have already been mentioned in the post, giving further examples and illustrations. People are particularly fond of case studies since they make points much easier to understand. However, avoid using one of your sites as an example so that people see you more as a contributor and not as an advertiser.
Create a link leading back to your blog
Creating a link to your blog will encourage readers to visit your blog once they have read your comment. Make sure that the link is in the field of the comment so that the comment will be approved. Once your comment gets approved as being useful and strong rather than advertising or spammy, your link will become live and your site will start experiencing an increase in traffic.
These three strategies are crucial in helping you increase traffic to your site or blog. So start commenting today!

Some very valuable points you have explained here, the only thing I have trouble with, with comments is the amount of off topic spammy stuff, there can be a lot to sift through to find a comment thats valuable.

haha.. nice comment..
A very helpful tip to everyone! Blogging is yet one of the most important tactic that you can use, it is a powerful tool for everyone to use. Leave a very smart and controversial blog so that everyone will find it more interesting and do not forget to leave a link leading back to your site.
I found a new plugin with a unique approach to inspiring readers to leave comments. WP Incentive is a premium WordPress Plugin that rewards your readers with gifts for leaving quality comments on your articles. The more they comment, the more gifts they receive. It not only inspires them to post their initial comments, but it keeps them coming back to comment frequently!!
The plugin comes preloaded with a nice selection of digital gifts. They are not your typical rubbish PLR ebooks.
Definitely worth looking into!

Thanks for the tips, Charles! This would be very helpful for neophyte bloggers like me in increasing blog traffic and creating blog community. I’m looking forward to more interesting posts like this!
Great inspiration. Everyone is doing blog commenting to get immediate exposure for their blogs, but the content of those comments is the real question, the quality of those comments is the thing that always matters. Thanks for sharing this, it’s a great resource for out of the box thinkers and especially for those who are new to blogging.
This advice is relevant for sending traffic to the comment, the factor that most influences is to write the review helpful, if you want your comment to note I suggest you write the comment relevant and useful.

Hi Charles,
To do quality blog comments is the best way to generate traffic. If you participate in others blog and give quality comments or give compliments then naturally they will often check you out to find out who you are. Sometimes they will compliment you back and its a good way to generate traffic and build relationship.

This is the exact post one should read in terms of getting traffic to post and commenting properly on blogs.
I’d say that commenting is one of the first tools for promoting a new website. And it’s not just the community that you may attract, but it’s also good for search engines like Googl, even if the link to your site has a “nofollow” attribute

I found this website through Google researching topics about internet marketing. I have bookmarked it so could read it again for future reference. This blog contains unique content that is why it is high on search engines, keep it up!
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this in my hunt for something regarding this.
