The goal is easy but will require your time and dedication. Starting right now from top to bottom I will be reading and commenting on all the articles that are currently occupying the front page our the blog engage social community.

I want to put together a list of things we should all do to really make this event work.

Things to remember

• Read the content entirely before commenting

• Make notes on sections to discuss when commenting

• Make sure to ask an open ended question

• Don’t force the comment if you’re not interested

• Subscribe to the e-mail reply notifications

• Encourage conversation on the blog

If you’re interested and want to follow I’ll be doing it all day until I have commented on all the blogs within the front page of blog engage. You will most likely see my comments on all the articles so feel free to join me in the conversations.

Feel free to reply to other comments being left. Don’t get left out in the cold. Make sure to participate with us. This could be fun and will give us all an opportunity to get to know one another a little better.

Be sure to add me as a friend, bbrian017

Building relationships with blog commenting

Trying to build relationships with blog commenting takes time and dedication. Try to avoid offending the blog author when leaving comments. Follow up on your comments so you show a true dedication to the authors blog. Post on more then one article and always thank them if they visit your blog in return. Create smart and interactive comments that allow for detailed discussions.

Looking for blogs to comment on

When visiting blogengage you will have the ability to follow all your true blogging friends! Serious bloggers have joined and would love to have you visiting. The majority of blogengage bloggers are do follow and follow back when you comment. When using blogengage to find new blogs to comments on make sure to search each category that fits your blog.

Follow the top blogs

You can follow the top voted blogs on blogengage easily, simply sort by Day, Week, Month, and Year. This way will also ensure you’re following and commenting on the same blogs as the rest of our blogengage users. This allows for more exposure and great conversations.

Don’t forget to socially engage

Look we know who you are and if you don’t vote, comment or socially engage were not going to help you ever again! We also know you have a life and can only do what you do and this is fine. Something is better than nothing right? This is a give and take type of marketing and promotion relationship and without everyone working hard it at the system will fail.

Extreme Management Navigation

The user navigation menu has changed a lot at blogengage. You can easily see who added you as a friend, who you added as a friend and follow up on saved articles you want to comment on. Saving articles is a great way to make sure you eventually get around to commenting on a blog.

Saved Articles

As I said this is an amazing way to remember about blogs you wanted to comment on. For the record I still forget about them… It’s best to do things as you think about them.

Relationships I built

I have meet so many bloggers using blogengage I could never even mention them all here in one post. I comment on many blogs, I follow many bloggers , I socially engage and I work hard at creating an environment in which bloggers can benefit from.

As we socially engage we will grow this amazing community.

You Comment I Follow

Many bloggers live by these words.  I personally cannot promise anything of that nature. I don’t have the dedicated time to commit to my blog. I run a large social networking website for bloggers and that takes up all my commenting time. What we want to understand today is what it takes in order to provide value comments that will build relationships and increase the web traffic generated to our own blogs.

Read The Article – I’m really surprised with the amount of bloggers that simply post on an article without reading the entire post. It’s of most importance to read what the blogger is writing. You have to take a moment, stop and take it all in. Trust me you don’t want to be that guy who doesn’t read. We know who you are and we can tell from your commenting style.

Comments of Value – Don’t think any of the following comments will get you followers or traffic.

Sweet thanks man I’ll visit again

Great stuff will visit again

Keep it up man

Subscribe to comment replies – Make sure you show the blogger you care about your comment. People are going to have something to say about your comment specially when it’s a personal opinion.

Take all replies with a grain of salt – Remember your on another bloggers blog and respect should be given at all times. No matter if you agree or disagree it’s not the point. Respect the blogger as if they have invited you into their home and you’re having a cup of tea.

Compliment the blogger – It’s always nice to be told you’re doing something right. When you read a great article be sure to let the blogger know. On the same note don’t be shy to provide constructive criticism as well.

Blog commenting if fragile. You don’t want to seem over zealous or you might be pushed away and not accepted. Being overbearing at first can come of as “rude” or a “know it all”. These are the last things you want other bloggers thinking about you.

Q&A
