If you are wondering if commenting is really worth it.
Let me share with you and at the end of this post you tell me if it is worth it or not.
The goal of any internet marketer is to generate traffic, specifically targeted traffic.
One of the easiest and cheapest way to generate traffic is by commenting. If you have no money to do paid traffic then you really want to listen to what I’m going to share with you.
What to Look For Before Beginning Your Task
Look for blogs that are a relevant blogs in your niche. These blogs need to be active with updated post.
What to look for:
- Are the post kept current.
- Are people involving in the blog by commenting.
- Are the post being shared in Social Media sites or Social Bookmarking sites.
By looking at these attributes it shows that the blog has an energy or a vibe. In other words, great place to hang out and meet other like minded individuals and at the same time why not drive some traffic to your blog or site.
Now, make sure you take the time to read the post or watch the video. Once in a while I’ll receive a comment that makes no sense to what I wrote or what is on the video. I simply delete them since all they are looking for is a back-link from my blog.
How To Drive Traffic
If you are looking at driving traffic from a comment leave a genuine comment that adds value.
There are 2 parts to leaving a comment:
- You want the readers to find what you have to say interesting. This will make others to click on your name to see what other information you share. I’ve found that by contributing and asking question produces the most clicks.
- Make sure what you say is intellectual in your comments. By contributing over time. You will start to be perceived as an expert in your market.
How to Use JoshGarcia.com For Link Building
The one thing I truly believe in is to give back to those that help this blog get recognize.
Let me show you how you can use JoshGarcia.com for link building:
- leaving a comment – Since all of my comments are do-follow, the link that you decide to leave as the URL will get some link love automatically.
- Top Commentators – Do you see on the right side of the home page you’ll notice that I have a section for Top Commentators. Well I like to reward the most contributing commentators with a back-link.
- CommentLuv – If you notice every time you leave a comment it searches for your latest blog post. So far that is 3 additional back-links.
- Link to my blog post – I allow the use of ‘trackbacks’. So if you link back to one of my blog post, I will automatically reward you with a back-link to your site or blog. So share my blog post with your readers and followers. * I do not reward scraper sites or blogs
As you can see that is a total of four back-links from my blog. The minimum you’ll get by commenting on my blog is 3 back-links.
Do you see the power of commenting? If you do it right and frequently you’ll be able to drive a good amount of qualify traffic to your site or blog.
So let me ask you the question again, “Is it worth it or not for you to comment?”

Hi Josh,
I’m a newbie here but you’ve pushed me over the edge. I agree with everyone about the knowledge you can gain from reading (high quality) blogs. The piece I’ve always wondered about is the time involved. I know you gain links but it seemed that finding good stuff that made you want to comment on might take longer than it’s worth for the backlink. However based on your notes and the feedback from your readers, I’ve decided to take the plunge.
Thanks for the great information
Hi Gail,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
I agree that you have to make sure you are reading good information. You just don’t want to be commenting on blogs that have garbage content. There are plenty of garbage content blogs out there. At least here you learn something cool and got a backlink for leaving a comment.
That is how I like to reward my readers by giving them a backlink. Plus it is a great way to have readers visit every time there is a post so they can comment and receive a backlink.
Have a great day!
Hey Josh,
Thanks for clarifying how the use of comments can drive traffic and explaining the trackbacks to get back-links . Its a win-win for both blogs
As usual you are very clear and give step by step directions with clearly written advice. This is the kind of quality you are referring to that I see by example in your blog! Looking forward to your next one…

Commenting is definitely worth it for backlinks but I think everyone should always look at the bigger picture of building authority and contributing to the post

Hi Murlu,
The major thing I like about commenting is that it builds a community. Plus, you’ll get to network with other like minded folks.

Thanks Josh. I feel that this information is very useful stuff. As the only way you will really grow your following and web presence is through interaction.

Hi Glen,
The best way is to ask for comments. There are several ways to accomplish this, (Ask question from your readers or by simply asking your readers that you would like to hear from them in the comment section). Thanks for stopping by and I hope this gives you some directions.
