Quick Tip: Marketing through Networking: Post Comments on Other People's Work

Would you like to bring more people to your site? The more people you have visit your site, the better chance of getting them to buy from you.

Here is a quick tip that only recently occurred to me.

Post comments on other people's work.

1. Will position you to learn something new. This is always a good habit, anyway, but you will try harder to learn new things when you're looking for new places to comment.

2A. Generates intrigue from the Author. Most services send an e-mail to the author when you place a comment. Even YouTube does; so I am using the term "author" loosely for this--doesn't matter.

2B. You will probably earn a warmer lead from that author. Comments help people's pages get a higher search result ranking, bringing them closer to the top of a search. Think the author won't appreciate it?

3. Generates intrigue about you. Especially if you leave an interesting comment. If you make enough of these (or place one on a site that enough people see), you will have people wanting to learn more about you.

4. Could generate more traffic to your site. This occurs one of two (2) ways: profile on that service containing a link to your site or placing a backlink to your page on that site. Be careful! If you have the luxury of placing your link on their site, this will help your sites search engine rankings, bringing IT closer to the top when people search.

Where can we place comments? Just about anywhere: YouTube, articles, press releases, blogs, Facebook, etc.

So let's all try to support each other. Let's find each other's material and place more comments.
