When I first started blogging I did a lot of blog commenting and it brought in a lot of traffic. I had a ton of blogging ideas and got a lot of comments myself.  At the time I had no idea about back links or SEO, far too complicated for me to try and understand.

Little did I know that I was actually building links and contributing to my blogs traffic while leaving comments on other blogs.

Blog commenting is great for a number of reasons and I want to share with you today some of the reasons you should leave blog comments and how it can not only benefit you but also the blog owner and your readers.

Those benefit range from social interaction, self development to SEO and every time you leave a comment you get all three for the price of one single action. So let dive in and take a look at what blog comments do for you and your readers.

Blog Commenting – SEO Value

If you have a blog then I would suggest you get a plug-in called Comment Luv. The reason is that every time one of your readers leaves a comment on your blog they get a back link to their last post but it give the title of that post and leaves it at the bottom of their comment.

This is a very cool way to allow your reader to get exposure on your blog. You are rewarding them and saying thanks you for taking the time to read your post.

Blog Commenting – Social Interaction

Comments are a great way for you to interact with your readers and for them to interact with you. They can ask questions, start a debate with your or be completely rude to you (of course you don’t have to approve those comments!)

It also shows that your blog is a cool place to be and having comments encourages others to leave a comment as well. For some reason some people don’t like to be the first to leave a comment, although I don’t really mind doing this. By you leaving your comments on other people’s blogs puts you out there in the spot light, people will either love you are not depending on how you comment.

Blog Commenting – Self Development

In order to leave a comment you first have to read the post right? Well you will get some people who leave a comment like “Nice Post” and that’s about it. I don’t approve these as all they are looking for is the back link from my blog.

Spend a bit of time and actually read the post and leave something that adds value to what the blogger has written. You will get your comment approved and also start to build a relationship with that person. You will also pick up some great tips for your business or for posts of your own.

So start blog commenting today and see the change it makes in your personal development and your own blogs traffic. if you enjoyed this post then please leave me a comment and share with your friends using the social button at top.

Niche Blogging To Success & Authority

Niche blogging is one of the fastest ways to establish your blog as an authority in the eyes of Google. This is a tactic I used to great effect in the early part of last year and I am still reaping the rewards from some of those early posts.

So how do you go about niche blogging and how do you know what to blog about?

The basis for the technique is all about writing content and lots of it but publishing it all together with a specific link building strategy.

At first it may seem like a lot of work but it is well worth the effort when you see the results come in and your traffic increase.

So let’s look at the process so you can put the tactic into practise and see for yourself. The truth is all you are doing is posting in one go instead of everyday so the work level is about the same as making a post a day.

Niche Blogging in 7 Simple Steps

• The first thing to do is keyword research which may well be boring but it is essential to your success. You want to start off with a niche and find 4 keywords around that niche. It must be 4 different keywords.

• You are going to take your 4 keywords and make 4 different blog posts around each keyword.

• You will link each post to the other 3 using anchor text. So post A will link to post B, C and D. Post B will link to post A, C and D while post C will link to post A, B and D and finally post D will link to post A, B and C. (hope that makes sense!)

• Next you get all your posts ready for publishing but don’t hit publish just yet. Check that all you links are correct and that all the titles and URL are correct along with tags, keywords, images and H tags.

• Next step is to write to more articles for EzineArticles.com. In the resource box you are allowed 2 links and these should link back to your blog posts, hence the 4 posts to start with. Publish this to EzineArticles and let them approve.

• Once you have sent you articles into EzineArticles publish your blog posts. Don’t wait for Ezine to publish as there will be broken links on the article which is not good. Do all you blog syndication and sharing as soon as you publish.

• Rinse and Repeat – Niche Blogging explained.

Niche Blogging Summary

Of course once EzineArticles have published then you can put those articles onto other sites if you wish.  I’m not going to get into the debate about spinning or duplication as I see so many different sides to the story. I will leave that one up to you.

You can get your articles outsourced as well which will save you a ton of time and effort so all you need to do is keyword research and post the content.

This tactic also works with just 2 article as well, so if you want to get a feel of doing this start with 2 and then move on to 4 posts.

One of the reasons this works so well is because you are not just posting out one piece of content but four which are all interlink with one another in the same niche. Search engines will like this as they will see more in-depth content to give to the readers.

Niche blogging takes time but it really works well if done consistently and you only need to post every four days if you wish. Let me know your thoughts about niche blogging and please share this post with your friends.

I heard about these 100 day challenges last year but didn’t get involved at the time but I saw this year’s challenge and thought it was a great idea and something I wanted to be involved with.

This is a great time of year to start a challenge like this, a fresh start to the new year and it doesn’t matter if you are new and want to kick off your new business in 2012 or your have more experience and just need a little motivation at the start of the year.

Anyone can get involved and today is the last day for registration so get you skates on and join in the fun and explode your business over the next 100 days.

So why am I doing the 100 day challenge? Well I have 3 goals that I want to achieve within the 100 days so here they are.

• First I will be adding 10 new people to my secondary income stream and helping them find 5 people each. This is important as I never really used the system to its full effect before and I know it can offer so much too so many people.

• I want to increase my traffic flow to my personal blog to 1000 visitors each and everyday. Currently I am at the 150 mark each day so a fair bit of work to do, but that’s the whole point of a challenge right?

• I want to set up a new blog based around social media and internet marketing for anyone to come and guest blog on. This is something I have been thinking of doing for sometime now and this challenge is the perfect opportunity to make it happen.

So there you have it, I have made my goals public and can’t wait to see the results come in. Anyone can join the 100 Day Champion Challenge and really push themselves and their business forward in 2012.

The closing date is today, 26^th January 2012 at 6pm EST so get your skates, get registered and kick off your business for success. Click here to get regisitered or on the banner above. See you on the challenge.

Well actually that’s not exactly true and I will explain in just a moment.

But first did you know that this week around 97% of network markers will not make more the $10 in their business.

That’s a sad fact and one that can so easily be changed. You see most don’t get great upline support, or know how to generate leads, or have great training.

And most have no idea how to build a business in the 21^st century.

Is that their fault, well no because they can do something about it if they are serious about building a successful business.

My mentors Adam and Jordan have been busy putting together a fantastic training to level the playing field and give everyone a fair shot at making a successful business. I am going to share with you just a little bit of what is in the training but you can see the real thing later today.

1. They have got the top income earner in his network marketing company to talk about the 7 steps to creating a successful business.

1. In the second part of the training they discuss some killer off line marketing tactics that very few people are using and giving you some fantastic resources to build your business locally. They will also be sharing with your the major benefits of building your business locally as well.

1. In the third module you will learn all you need to know about prospecting with Facebook. No hype or BS, just pure value of how to attract prospects and sign them into your business.

1. Next up you will get the power of mindset and how this can have a drastic effect on your business and success.

1. You will receive SEO training from a guy who was getting 300 visitors a month to over 23,000 in under 45 days. You will get his exact strategy.

1. How to recruit up to 30 new reps each month into your business.

So this Wednesday 25^th January 2012 Jordan and Adam will be hosting two webinars where they will go into more details about this course and how it will bring you the success you deserve in 2012.

The first one will be 2pm EST/ 7pm GMT and the second will be 10pm EST/ 3am GMT on the 26^th January 2012.
