What benefits has the right Blog Commenting for you?
Why Blog Commenting? The last time I saw discussions about blog commenting. In many groups, I saw there is blog sharing, but most of the members-only share the links on social media.
I am not blogging for business on my blog, but I did learn right from the beginning commenting is essential for traffic, branding, getting visitors to a blog, and connecting to others.
Blog comments are often neglected by bloggers, which is entirely wrong, I think. Blog comments on your blogs are a great appreciation of you and your content.
Why the right blog commenting is essential
Comments in your blog articles have three significant benefits: they are an appreciation from your readers, they provide “social proof,” which means readers are aware that you have connections and more people may discuss your content, and comments also are content that you do not have to write yourself.
Comments are visitor-generated content, content that your readers deliver. Also, comments on your blog are more valuable than comments on Facebook, for example., they stay with your blog article count as content and can be indexed by Google See here in a post written by Harsh Agrawal: Your post’s comments are also calculated as a part of your post’s content!
There are some reasons against blog commenting.
Some people try to place their URL or place their product name. Comments with the wrong name or the Internet address are just as annoying as obvious spam. One-liners, something like “cool article.” Such comments are only for the backlink, which they either place in the comment or the URL field. I usually delete them.
WordPress comments are uncertain. A big security hole in a long time has been the comments. There is always the danger of malicious codes that makes comments a potential security hole. Comments need a strong spam defense.
Commenting is work and takes time when you want to do it right. You have to answer comments and respond to feedback. You also should reciprocate, which helps to connect. This means you have to read content and post meaningful comments and share in social media to give the favor back.
Also, spam must be filtered out, and you need to modify the links and false names mentioned above.
Reasons that speak for commenting
For example, a blog may have very high numbers of visitors, but if nobody writes a comment. It makes the blog empty and lifeless, and it may not be a pleasant experience for readers.
Comments make an article attractive. The discussion about a topic is sometimes more exciting than the actual content. Even if a post is not so good, the comments can significantly enhance it and bring ideas for better new content.
Learn from comments and get ideas for new content.
Also, comments often bring with them new perspectives. Other points of view can bring you further, and responding makes a community emerge and stick together. Whoever is allowed to have a say feels involved. It is great for any blog.
Let’s not forget the point of search engine optimization (SEO). I think that Google is intelligent enough to evaluate comments. They do not matter as much as the actual content, but the comment content is indexed and read. It is especially valuable if readers compare because exactly these may also make others to come across your article via Google. So comments also have an SEO value.

Blog comments are useful for any blog, be it a business, lawyer, therapist, handyman, or local business. It is because of the feedback that can be helpful.
Many bloggers are successful and well-known through blog commenting.
To mention only a few, I learned to know through blog commenting: First of all, I want to say Lesly Federici who taught me about blogging and commenting. Also, Donna Merill, Harleena Sing, the blog commenting Queen, here is an interview with her on Swadhin Agrawal s blog., Philip V.Ariel, and Enstine Muki. to mention only a few.
Here is a guest post from another connection through blog commenting 5 Reasons Why You Should Bank On The Internet to Make Money
Some I even met in person, like Saurabh Tiwari, Umesh Singh, Sathish Arumugam, Ravi Chahar, and many more.
And, of course, Ryan Biddulph, the well-known blogger from Paradise. I asked him to write or talk about the subject.
Do not rely only on my opinion about blog commenting; here is Ryan Biddulph’s particular post for you all.

Hi Erika,
I so appreciate you taking the time to write on such a basic and fundamental part of blogging, blog commenting.
Comments preserve the true essence of blogging which is being social. They help you initiate conversations, agree or differ to what’s being said, add or take away value from the blog post and much more.
They also help in search engine rankings. Many bloggers tried experimenting with the removal of blog comments only to bring ’em back. (https://michaelhyatt.com/ive-brought-comments-back/).
Harleena ma’am introduced me into this world of building relationships through blog comments and is rightfully the blog commenting queen (although she’s slowed down a bit these days). Thanks for the kind mention. 🙂

Hi Swadhin,
Like you, I think commenting is a fundamental part of blogging.
And you right, it helps also to connect and build a relationship with others.
I did write about because I see that the younger blogger generation seems not to realize its benefit.
I learned to know and connected to many through blog commenting and I saw over the years that this blogger became successful. Like you, Harleena and many others. Serious bloggers should di blog commenting right and not only comment “great post” 🙂
I thank you for your opinion and comment.
Erika
Hi Erika,
What a joy to be here again after a bit gap.
Good to read the wonderful post about blog comments. I fully agree on withe Neil Patel, as he said: Your post’s comments are also calculated as a part of your post’s content! I would like to add my point along with it. “Our comments on other’s posts tell a story about us, so beware while making comments on other’s posts. this point I elaborated in one of my blogs posts its link I am giving below.
Yes, I fully agree with all your points in this post on blog comments. In fact, I was a blog comment author even before having a blog of my own. I was a blog commenter and I wrote a good number of posts about blog comments. Happy to share one among them here for the information of the readers here.
Thank you so much for the wonderful shout out.. 🙂

Hi Philip,
I knew that you would agree because you also often mentioned and did write about blog commenting.
And it is amazing that you did comment on blogs even before you had one yourself.
These days we should emphasize to the young bloggers who are serious to do it right.
I think it can be even better than only to rely on SEO because by commenting everyone can make connections and build a tribe of followers.
Thank you for your opinion and for sharing your experience
Erika

Thank you for your visit
Erika
i don’t usually write posts or comments on articles but your blog was so convincing and is written with such diligence i had to praise. great work !
Thank you, Jacob
Keep commenting it truly helps.
Erika
Hi Erika,
Firstly I want to thank you for the kind mention. It is greatly appreciated.
When it comes to blog commenting I always like to call it the “backbone of our blogs” because it adds so much value to the post itself. Firstly, people can add their views on what they just learned in the blog post. They can also stand out by writing a great comment so it will grab the attention of others. I have to share that many of my readers and commenters came from other blogs I have left a comment on. They see something that they like and come on over to my blog and become loyal readers.
Commenting is so important to get involved in.
-Donna
Hi Donna,
You are welcome, I did mention you because of your awesome teachings on this subject.
As you say: “I always like to call it the “backbone of our blogs”, and I agree with you.
Over the years I noticed that the bloggers who did blog commenting got successful, some I mentioned here,
some I may not know. What you say in your comment here is true. I even believe that you do not need really run after being #1 on Google to be successful, everybody can build a tribe of people who follow if you bring value in peoples life. You are an example with Donna Merill’s Tribe and your loyal readers.
Thank you for sharing your opinion and your comment
Erika
Hey Erika mam,

with your mentioned line that blog commenting makes an article attractive and are really necessary for any blog, whereas a blog without any comments makes it life-less.
Really helpful post, as this post will motivate many people and readers for doing more blog commenting.

Hi Aadarsh,
You are right, it has many benefits and if someone is serious and wants to get known, sharing opinions and knowledge is good.
It may bring more visitors who want to read valuable info and different views in blog posts.
Right lifeless blogs are not very attractive. Keep up the commenting.
Thank you very much

Hi Monika,
I hope you did read this post you commented on?
I usually delete comments who have nothing to do with the article.
It would be good if you would read first and then give a meaningful comment.
Hi Erika!
I have to admit, posts with comments are worth so much more than those without and you laid out the reason for comments so well in this post. The comments on this post are also valuable and I got a lot from them. It reinforces the value of your comment to the general discussion, thanks!
Hi Barb,
yes, comments add value to a post and it is also feedback for the author.
It is interesting to read the opinion and experiences of others, as well
and can give ideas for new posts.

Erika
It is interesting to learn what you delete. I do agree that we need to read and respond to comments. There is so much good info there and it is good to appreciate the people who have made an effort to look at what you are posting.

Hi Elise,
I think commenting only makes sense if we read and give our opinion. It adds to the value of the post and is like an addition to it.
If one is not interested in the content why comment? And you are right it is also an appreciation for the author. Also, it can give you new ideas.
Thank you
Erika

Hello Erika Mam,
This is my first time I am commenting on your article. We are connected from a long time but never had a chance to visit on your blog and comment on any article. I am very sorry for this.
Today, I was reading your article about the importance of Blog commenting then I went back 4 years ago when I was doing blog comments very actively. And commenting on different blogs helps me to make myself a brand, people start recognizing me and biggest thing, my network start growing.
So I will suggest everyone, to participate in blog commenting, it not only helps you to drive traffic to your website, but also helps you to establish a brand.
Thanks Ma’am.

I think it’s high time we start appreciating blog posts we learn from by dropping comments before rolling out.
It’s very certain that comments help authors add more value to their work. In fact, when you read a post and add your opinion, it helps others learn more.
If the author is missing a point and you help add that in the comment, it opens a way for further studies.
To me, blog commenting is a great strategy to enhance social engagement and only a selfish person will read and learn from a post and fails to drop his comments.
Thank you for this post.

Right, Amar,
blog commenting has benefits, but it has to be done right.
Some people leave a comment that has nothing to do with the content or one line.
This is for sure a waste of time.
Thank you for always commenting the right way 🙂
