How to write a high-quality blog comment
I've written a lot of blogs recently about blogging and how it can have a hugely positive impact on the overall success of an internet marketing strategy. So, I thought it might be handy to write one from the point of view of the reader and specifically how to write an effective blog comment. Writing blog comments might seem slightly arbitrary in the grand scheme of SEO, but they can help build a relationship between webmasters and this could potentially influence link building strategy. Commenting on blogs can also show to influential members of an online community that you are actively participating, and again, this could be important when asking for influential, relevant and authoritative links.
How to write a blog comment?
Firstly – and most importantly, add something constructive. Don't just write – 'Thanks! Great post!' or something of a similar ilk, because that just is not helpful. It does not show the author of the blog post, or the other readers what the person commenting really thought of the post beyond the fact they were grateful that it existed. Show that you are motivated and willing to add a constructive point that is really going to value other readers.
Don't be afraid of showing some emotion and passion in the comments you leave. The comments section is there to allow readers a platform to express their opinions, whether they agree with the article or not. It would also be worthwhile to perhaps give some background on why you are commenting. This adds some context to your comment and can show other readers why you are 'qualified' to comment on the topic and why they can trust it to be truthful.
As I mentioned briefly, the best blogs will cause the readers to form an opinion, and in the comments section you should disclose that opinion. The only caveat that I would give on this point is to ensure that you back up your opinion with evidence, or it may appear that you are 'trolling', especially if your point goes against the common theme of the blog post.
If you link to other sources make sure they are definitely going to be deemed relevant and interesting by other people reading the blog. Don't simply use the comments section as platform to display mindless self-promotion because this tactic will undoubtedly back-fire and end up damaging the cause you are trying to promote.
