Commenting on blogs, especially industry-specific ones, allow for broader scope of networking and exposure. Blogs have literally exploded in recent times, and as such, should not be dismissed.
Blog commenting helps to increase visibility, and the great feature with blogs is that the one posting the comment can always link back to his site, since, on top of signatures in the comment, signing-in for commenting allows one to provide the link back to any site.
Blogs also help to increase the exposure of your site, especially for content sites. These comments can be seen as preludes to the indepth content offered on the site.
Commenting can also further help to brand your site and your own way of responding can be a unique experience people look for. In a way, by reading your comment, readers may be intrigued to know more and thus head over to your site. This can work well with product promotion.
It is a good idea to remain brief and concise on comments, and to comment on blogs and topics that relate to and are pertinent to your own sector of operations.
Also, links should not be added in the comment itself but kept to the signing-in name section, where your name can link to your site.
That's today's traffic generation idea. Come back tomorrow for another one :-)
Until tomorrow,
Terry
