Is Leaving Comments Just Like Spamming?
As I was reading on ways to increase traffic almost everone mentioned leaving comments on other blogs in the same genre as yours. Seems resonable enough, when you leave a comment you have the opportunity to put in your website url so you get linked to through your comment. It’s a free link on another page. If that blog has a decent amount of traffic you are bound to get a few clicks out of curiosity.
But it got me thinking. Most of the comments I have read have not offered much in the way of anything insightful or an attempt at a thoughtful exchange. Most seem to be of the variety of “I agree” or “Great article” or “Thanks for the info”, etc, etc.. Is that any different from a comment offering to increase your girth or info on the next big penny stock? It is there for the singular purpose of having a link back to thier site hoping for some extra traffic or a boost in page rank.
I guess it is a nesseccary evil starting out, but it still seems kind of cheap.
Anyone have any thoughts?
