I definetly agree with you Raj, and not only me most of the blogger will agree with you. Initially when I started blogging I had visitors around 5 to 10 avg, but after I started reading other blog and commenting on them (thats both positive and negavite) my traffice rose to 45+ of unique visitors in a span of one month…………… :)

And congrats to you for improved ranking and traffice this is what all bloggers look for. So we all can see your blog break into the 1lac barrier very soon………….. :)

I do my best to browse the net and comment on posts. This does help my blog and one can notice the difference. Using commentLuv also helps the commentator as they get a link back to their site.

BUT one must not just leave spamming comments for the sake of it as that could effect your reputation.

Hi Rajesh,

Thanks for getting in touch – it looks like you’re doing some great work here – and have also managed to get a very respectable Alexa ranking in a short space of time. Not bad!

Could I ask you to maybe leave a short comment at whatawebsite.org on the relevant category page ( Blogging maybe) or on the main page if you’d like to open a new category ( Technology maybe)

OK, hope all is well with you in India, that you find your way back to whatawebsite very soon – and that it brings more visitors your way in the future …

Best wishes

Will

Though blog commenting is NOT the top referrer of traffic to my blog, still it contributes a great amount of traffic. Traffic aside, it helps me keeping in touch with fellow bloggers, which in my opinion is much more important in the long run than the mere traffic!

Indian Girls Club November 28, 2009 at 11:03 pm

Nice tip rajesh.

But what many people do is while commenting they include their link in it.
Many of them don’t even read the post, they just come and drop links, which makes a worst experience.

Though askimet blocks comment spam for more than 2 links, we don’t want to block user comments if they leave a genuine link related to their comment.

Hi Rajesh,

Great to see you on the site where your fine and informative blog is now “Website of the Day”. Good also to hear that you’ve joined BlogEngage.com … I’m sure you’ll become a big fan in the very near future. It’s a fabulous site.

Cheers

Will
P.S. Would be good if you could send me some short introductory text to TechCats ( perhaps similar to your “About” page) to help form the basis of a blog post about this site. ( please see the main page at whatawebsite.org for recent examples – and vote for the sites you like at BlogEngage )
P.P.S. Can’t find you at the moment on BlogEngage – what’s your name there ?? ( mine’s “whatawebsite” – surprise, surprise)

Rajesh, this is a great advice to get traffic to your blog. But tell me one thing.. what if the blog that you are commenting has a nofollow tag to its comments… then there is no use commenting there. I guess… so how do we know if any blog has nofollow tag active for his/her comments…

Thanks

I think commenting only on do follow blogs wont help you much in gaining traffic except getting a higher PR for your blog.. commenting on all blogs(including no follow) and participating actively makes sense and helps you in maintaining sound relationships with fellow bloggers.. you check the page source of a particular blog and check the comments scetion to know about the follow status of the blog..
