Thanks Tim for some more great links!!
Thanks for another great tip!
Like all promotional activities, commenting can be hard work! Who knew there were so many do's and dont's in order to get it right? One good tip I'm taking away from these links is to follow up with those who do comment on my blog. Simple, yet I'd never thought of it before.
Oh and it's true that nothing turns me off of commenting on someone's blog like really difficult CAPTCHA or having to sign up to a site. Big turnoffs!
I've been explaining this to my Etsy team for well over a year and they STILL do not "get it" that comments can be so vital.
With the newish Instant Google now commonplace, the importance of SEO has slipped a tad, with extra strategies needed to top that Google search page result.
Using Flickr is one important strategy and comments on blogs is another.
