DONTPut a link to your blog directly

in the comment unless the blog owner allows it.

Otherwise, your comment will be marked as spam.

Spammers often put random links in their comments that are

unrelated to the blog.

comments and check back so that you can respond to follow-up comments or questions.

DONTSay anything promotional in your comment, like "By

the way, check out my blog." This will get your

comment marked as spam. If people are interested in

hearing more from you, they'll click your profile.

DONT

Leave a comment if you truly have nothing valid to say. A comment that says

something like, "Good post" won't gain you any

traffic.

DOSubscribe to the blogs you like and read them as soon as they're updated so that you can be an early poster. If you post early, your comment is more likely to be seen.

Finally…DO

Fill out your profile completely with an image and link to your website or blog. This shows that you're a real person and not a spam bot. And, of course, it’s the main way people will discover your blog!
