Before starting up simple and best 10 things which I personally noticed while commenting on other’s blogs, let me ask you a question. Do you like commenting? If yes, then please check these 10 things which even you may find useful someday! For those who doesn’t commenting, please read it.
As I started blogging first thing I learnt was, “start mingling with fellow blogger and force them to come to your blog.” Well, how can I do that? The answer was, I started commenting on other’s blog posts who had commentluv plugin enabled or do-follow blogs.
In my journey of blogging I noticed 10 things while commenting. Join with me and notice them
1. Post Name or Just a Name! :
The main attracting thing for any post/article is “Post Name”. Post name attracts many users to your blog. We spend most of our time on social media sites like Twitter and while tweeting other post, few posts do force you to have a look. Sometime we comment just by reading post name or we will come without even reading it.
2. Content or Just a Text! :

Well now finally you got inside post. That’s great. And now we start reading a post. We must agree, some bloggers just write whatever comes to their mind without even think “Who will read this?” Some posts irritated me to come out after reading first paragraph itself! Some content forced me to leave a comment.
3. Blogger Involvement:

Well this point is somewhat similar to #2. But content and blogger Involvement are two different things. Some write a post just because they have to write a post for that day. Some write a post which makes others go till last point and makes them to come back.
4. Blogger Attitude:

Now I liked a post and left a comment. Blog owner accepted it. Did he/she just accepted it or replied to your comment? If they reply to your comment they are respecting your comment and like to mingle with their readers. At least a small sentence like “Thanks for commenting” actually tells blogger read your comment.
5. Blogger Niche:

Sometime you may find Technology related blog posting some food related article. This blocks me in visiting that blog again!
6. Do-follow or No-follow? :

This point is very important. When you commenting on article check whether the blog is do-follow or no-follow. Here’s a link to ‘How-to check’ post. If a post has do-follow you can expect blogger may visit your post as well as get some backlink juice, thus the pagerank hike. Well no-follow blogger rarely visit your blog and no backlink or PR boost either. So, say NO to ‘no-follow’!
7. Others’ Comment:

While commenting does check others comment. You may get some ideas for your next post. Sometimes other comments may give you some tips to comment as well.
8. Number of Comments:

Numbers of comments tells whether the blog is active and up, number of visitors and blogger involvement. This may got get engaged with other commenter and drag them to your blog.
9. New Links and New visitors:

Whenever you comment on some post and if that blog is do-follow, check the links provided by other commenter. You may find some interesting blog to bookmark and visit them now and then.
10. Following/Connecting with fellow Commenter:

Last but not least, try following fellow users on social network/media sites like Twitter, Facebook etc. Now-a-days many bloggers are having this option of adding their social media IDs/badges in their blog. This helps in mingling with other best bloggers of your niche. Even you may get some!
