Blogging traffic is a give and take relationship. Sometimes one of the best ways to get traffic to your blog is by visiting someone else ’s blog.

Go to their blog and read one of their entries, or read a few of them. Chances are that you are going to find something that you have in common.

When you find something that you find truly interesting on a blog, leave a comment so that they know that you were there.

One of the best known blogs available is LiveJournal. A great feature of LiveJournal is that you can search for interests on their site and it will come up with results of those who have that interest.

Are you interested in Golf? You can see what other bloggers are interested in Golf riding as well.

When you are commenting on someone’s post, you want to make sure that you don’t leave generic comment. If you like the post, say something about what you read in
the post.

After you have commented on the person’s post, then you can say something like, ‘I really like Golf too. I had a similar experience to yours.’ and then use it to link back to your journal.

But be sure that you sound sincere when you are commenting, and don’t make them feel like you’re just fishing for traffic.

If someone thinks that you are using their blog to get more traffic to yours, they won’t visit your site and your efforts will be wasted.

These are the rules I follow when I do my weekly task of finding blog to leave comments and hopefully gain some all important links back to my site.

If you want me to give you the same in return then all I ask if for you to leave a comment of value and then it will be published here on my blog.

You are only wasting my time and yours if you don’t put in some effort because your comment will simply be deleted.
