The Internet is a conversation, or at least it can be. One person makes a statement, and someone else speaks back. This conversation can easily take place on a blog, or back and forth between two blogs.

One of the easiest ways to get viewers of your blog is to converse with others with similar, or just interesting blogs.

Find a blog you like. If you don’t know of any go to Google’s blog search. Enter in the topic or topics related to your blog, and look for other blogs that seem to relate. Read one of their posts on their blog. If it is interesting, you can click around and read many of their posts on their blog. When you find a post about which you have something clever, or helpful, or funny to say, then leave a comment below it.

Comments on newer posts are more likely to be read. On my blogs, I usually notice comments even on my older posts.

When someone reads your comments, whether it is the owner of the blog or their readers, they may click on your name and follow you over to your blog. Then if your blog has something interesting to say, they may come back. Feel free to ask questions in the comments of someones blog. These are all ways to get the conversation started.

At all costs, I highly recommend that you avoid anything that sounds like an advertisement in your comments. Most of us do not enjoy anything that sounds self promoting in comments.

Stay tuned for more!
