There are blogs which ride the wave of success through their loyal blog readers. Majority of them show their appreciation in the form of blog commenting and some by sharing the posts through the Social Media such as Facebook, Twitter etc.
Things are different for different blogs but one thing that never changes in a blog is the human touch offered by both the bloggers and the blog readers.
Blog commenting has been an essential part of Blogging from its existence. So let us look into the 5 ways to enhance the blog commenting skills which can affect your blog and others as well:
1) Comments not related to the Topic
Are you commenting something about the topic or are you trying to divert the user’s attention? This is a cheap trick to get traffic which is not liked by a lot of people in the blogging community. This is not a taboo if you take care of the words that you are going to use to diver the attention. So be choosy and careful about how you want to influence your blog commenting in order to receive traffic to your own blog.
2) Prove something wrong or right about the Post
This tactic is highly appreciated and also welcomed by the blog owners across the wide blogosphere. If you want to mention that the post is useful then be descriptive about how it can affect you positively. If you think that the post is not correct or is something which might not be true according to you be polite and ask a smart question that has to be answered only by the blogger.
3) Regards – Me Jackass
Sorry if the heading sounds too rude for you but I really don’t know how to explain this in a calm way. Blog commenting involves you to type in the following details: Name, email, URL and of course the comment itself. So there is no extra thing that you need to specify that the comment is made by you with your signature at the end of each comment. If you are a novice blogger please refrain yourself from doing it because it can harm your reputation big time. This is not one of the signs a person can be a successful blogger anytime soon.
4) Care for Grammar and Spell-check
It is very simple and basic for you to proofread your comments before clicking on that submit button. You don’t want to write something important and use incorrect spelling or perhaps the grammar. You can get into an embarrassing situation at times because comments once submitted cannot be edited by you. Think twice and make a meaningful error-free comment.

5) Thank You Comments
A blogger understand and is very thankful for your comments. He/she also understands that the posts he makes are useful and informative as far as possible. So you do not have to strain yourself to say something like: “This is a useful post, thank you” or perhaps “Nice tip. Thanks for sharing”. Come on you can do a better job than that. So avoid 1 liner comments because it is basically useless and it will generate no curiosity for the other people to click on your link. Succeed in Blogging the right way even if it takes some time.
All said and done you and I are just in the learning phase so a mistake here and there is no big deal. So at least from today make it a habit to comment on blog posts more meaningfully because it can fetch you good traffic and link reputation.

Hey, this is Kamal and I operate the NPXP network of websites. I am a blogger as well as a freelancer.
Cool! Really Impressed your blog. Great post Bro
Good stuff. I really thankful to you.
haha the third and the last one are used plenty of times..Especially the third one..
Glad that you mentioned that one
Sometimes thank you comments will encourage a blogger to do what he is doing. I love people who comment thank you, thanks for sharing and all in my blog. But I do check their email id’s as well as website URL. If i found anything unusual there, then comment will be going to Akimset Spam folder.
Perhaps the thank you comment is the one that is over-used. It seems to be a spamming tactic that no longer works. I bet most of these “thank you commenters” didn’t even read the post. Although I myself thanks the blogger for the “wonderful” post and for sharing the info because I am indeed thankful. But of course, I do extend my comment by discussing something about his/her post.
Interesting stuff, Impressed
Your blog is awesome and You share great content dude, keep rocking !
Great post Kamal. The most aggravating thing that gets on my nerves when someone posts to my blogs is making comments that are totally irrelevant or have nothing to do with the content the commentator is making comments on. Why should I approve a comment talking about their “solutions for a headache” when my comments were about the latest and greatest WordPress theme for example?
This is, what is the right term….one of my biggest “pet peeves” and should be ignored at all costs because it does not spark a conversation of any kind nor add value to the blog itself.
