Positive Real Estate Professionals

Over the years, I seem to asked a lot about building quality links as well as how to drive quality traffic to sites. Once that can of worms is opened, I refer the person asking this question to using comments to build links and drive traffic to their site. This practice might be the easiest thing that you will ever do and get great results from it. The problem is, most people are just not dedicated to doing it. With that said, most people are not dedicated to responding to questions on their on posts either. You might as well take the proverbial gun and shoot yourself in the foot. Before you do that, let’s take a look at how each of these can help you. We will do this over the next 2 days in a 2 part article. Today we will look at how commenting will and can help build links.

Commenting to build links:

One of the great things about commenting is most websites allow you to link your website to your name. This is a great way to get a backlink from another site to yours. The bigger benefit here is for the people that actually visit relevant sites and make comments there. A great example of this would be for a Realtor to visit a website that pertains to the real estate industry and comment on a regular basis. This will create a link. The portion of commenting on a regular basis is that once you establish yourself as a regular commenter, your link will continue to stay active. However, the benefits do not stop there. As a matter-of-fact, this will lead me right into the next benefit of commenting. But, before I jump to that, let me talk a little bit about sites that utilize a plugin called CommentLuv. This particular plugin allows for you to achieve a second link on blogs as well. When you come across sites that use this plugin, it can actually pull a link to your last written article on your blog. This will in turn give you added benefit in traffic as well and we will talk about that in just a minute. Another thing that this plugin does, and something the is often overlooked, is that it can increase your SERPs. For those of you that are unfamiliar with SERPs, it stands for search engine results page.

In tomorrow’s article, we will look at how commenting can help to drive traffic to your site. Hope to see you then.
