Blog Tips

For your post to get attention that it requires, here are the few suggestions that I have. This will also form a part of the traffic generation strategies

Comments – Giving and Receiving

All of us, after we write an article, wake up each day to check if we have received any feedback– whether good or bad. Sometimes we are lucky, other times not. The fact is that most of the comments are given by people who know us. The beauty lies in getting honest
feedback from people who do not know us.

So the question is how do you get feedback from others ?

Simple. As much as you’d like others to read your article, you should also give importance to people who write on the blogosphere. Everyone has an opinion and it is important that we acknowledge and respect that.

One of the ways to attract good traffic for your article and your blog is to leave comments on similar article or a blog that you have found on the net, of course besides Indiaspecial.net

Here is a strategy that I highly recommend

a) Go to the directory of Indian bloggers – Find the directory here

b) Select bloggers who write on your subject of interest

c) Subscribe to their feeds through RSS. Even better subscribe through Google Reader…makes your life easier

d)Check their latest posts

e)If you find their post interesting, Comment on them.

f) Even if you don’t find it interesting, do leave behind a candid feedback .

g)While commenting, please give your pen name, your email id and the URL of your articles on Indiaspecial.net…Example - Since I write with the pen name Kandamangalam, my articles can be located on the URL - http://indiaspecial.net/author/kandamangalam/ . I will put this as
my URL

g) Always comment in a balanced manner - Appreciate if the article is good, Criticize if it is not and aim at providing constructive criticism.

If you leave some quality feedback, you’d also start getting reciprocal feedbacks from those bloggers for sure.This way, you start building a community around your subject of interest and each article you publish will start creating a lot of interest in the blogosphere.

Another very important point to be noted :  If someone leaves a “comment” on your article, please make sure to reply to that comment even if it means saying those two magic words
“Thank You”.

Remember – Writing article is only 20% done. 80% is marketing it – and Marketing it right !!!

Enjoy Commenting – Giving & Receiving !
