Commenting on Comments
Some bloggers will comment on each and every comment left on their blog. While this can be time consuming they feel it is important part of their blogging to engage their reader and to show that comments really matter to them. Comments do show interest by the reader and it’s nice when the author responds to comments. Does commenting on comments really help when it comes to SEO or is it just a nice gesture?
The long term effects on search engine results might be hard to figure out. You might just impress a reader so much that they add you to their blogroll or might link to your article. Commenting on comments should at least keep readers coming back and commenting, which is always good for a blog.
So, as far as traditional SEO practices, commenting on comments might take a while to build links but could. It will not be a quick way to garner links but over time can be a great way to increase traffic and build a strong blogging network of support.
I tend to comment on some comments. Usually if I have something to say, then I comment. Other times, I may have a thought but nothing worth putting down in black and white. A lot of times blogger’s comments to comments are basically just a thank you for your comment. So, the comment can really go unsaid. Still it’s a nice gesture and possibly appreciated by many readers.
Leaving comments to comments might not really help any SEO campaign, but it can be a great way to create a community on your blog that will in turn could mean more traffic and exposure.
