The best way to build your traffic cheap and fast is buy posting in forums and making blog comments on blogs. There are two problems with blog comments for most people and these problems are actually an opportunity for you to be a commenting machine while at the same time getting ideas for new blog content yourself.
There are a few reasons to do blog commenting and the main ones are backlinks to your own sites (some nofollow blogs will not help but that is ok), getting blog owners know about you, and finally to have readers of blogs see you and get exposure to your site by clicking your website link on your name in the comments.
Finding posts to comment on
First problem is that most people doing internet marketing go to the classics, Problogger, Shoemoney, John Chow and others but these are crap blogs for getting traffic to your niche site unless you are in the internet marketing niche. If you are in any other niche then you have to hang with the thought leaders and then become a thought leader.
Do some searches, if you are interested in Organic Gardening then start looking for gardening blogs, environmental blogs, blogs about organic farming and of course your own niche or organic gardening. This is going to keep you on the pulse of your niche and also reading these blogs will give you lots of ideas to get new posts of your own out.
Do you have a Google account? You should as this is how you get access to a Google tool called Google Reader. Google Reader is an RSS reader and when you are using an RSS reader all you need to do is to copy the link location for any site and simply add the subscription to Google Reader and then you will get updates every time that this other blog makes a post. Add all of the blogs that you have found for your niche, and although you may be struggling a bit with Google Reader you will get the hang of it in a matter of hours if not minutes and have a nice easy way to access 100s of blogs if you want to all at one website.
Commenting tips
OK, this is the second problem, writing blog comments that will be read in the shortest amount of time. Now you have found lots of posts in your niche to do blog comments on so go ahead. The nice thing about blog comments is that once you have made one the site will remember your info for the next time that you comment. There is such a short supply of comments to smaller blogs that as you make a couple of comments the blog author is going to notice you and link back to your posts.
Anyway the blog comments themselves should be a couple of sentences long and should add to what the post is about. If you are leaving longer blog comments then try to write down the gist of your comment so that you can create a post out of your blog comment for your own site. (I just copy my comment into notepad for later viewing). The worst thing that you can do is leave lots of blog comments saying “I agree” or “You are right”, these comments add nothing to the conversation and will not be supported by the author and are not insightful enough for anyone to click your link to see your site.
How much commenting to do
I think that devoting 15 minutes or a half hour a day to blog commenting is great. I know that Yaro Starak says that as he was starting he would at the end of the day just leave comments as much as he could but I think that it is great to do this before you are tired. Get the blog comments in, get some ideas for future blog content, and move on to the rest of your work for the day.

Hi There,
Just came by your site searching for more infomation about web traffic info, and I found some great info here
I`m working on building the best! Viral Traffic site now so I do a lot of reviews all over the net.

Yes thats true blog comment posting is great but should be 15-20 mins a day
I agree about the amount of time allowed for commenting. However, I know a lot of people who have websites numbering in the 4 figure range who will go on binges at times to promote all of their sites, lol.
Yea, the John Chows and Darren Rowses never tell you about all kinds of things. The portrait they paint to their readers is a whole lot different than the one most internet marketers know.
I must say this posting is refreshingly honest. Of course we all know that one of the main reasons people leave comments at blogs nowadays, is for the link value, but most people pussyfoot around that. Come to think of it though… if we aggregated all the time and effort people around the globe are putting into blog commenting and other link building practices, there’s probably enough energy in it to re-house all the victims of the Myanmar cyclone (if the junta allowed it in the first place!). There MUST be a better way for Google to ascertain credible sites than this!!
There are actually a few different ones out there. I have been giving this software a go and see how it pans out.
You have a great site and i return to it ever now and then as i find the time.
Hi everyone. My name is Ray, from Utica, NY. I will be visiting Poland soon, and I am hoping to meet my Polish relatives. I also hope some people from here may help me in contacting my relatives before my visit. Thanks and looking forward to meeting some great people on here!
Good luck on your Million dollar mission!
Look at me I’m building traffic with a blog comment! haha good advice!
Good advice but i would not say try comment for 15min or so the more comments the better
My commenting time is usaully 3-4 hours a day and it works for a variety of reasons, good stuff
My son knew he needed to stop smoking. He’d just seen his father die at 38 from lung cancer. That was the spark that made him realize that smoking could literally kill him. Unfortunately, every time he tried to stop, he would yield to temptation within a few days. I looked at using a nicotine patch and nicotine gum, but didn’t want him to use either. For me, it seemed silly to take the same substance that causes the addiction – nicotine.
I searched for a natural and safe method to quit smoking: http://freshnewsday.com/stop-smoking.html
How it works?
Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
Good to get some useful advice about this subject. Is 15-20 mins good enough.
You raise an interesting point about the line between a long comment and a short post! When you get on a roll, it’s easy for a comment to turn into a whole new conversation all by itself. Sometimes, a provocative post stimulates me to think about multiple topics simultaneously and generate new ideas for my own blogs, even on subjects completely unrelated to the original post!
Traffic traffic and traffic is what is mainly needed to monetize the blog. I must say this posting is refreshingly honest. Yes it is true that blog comment posting is great but should be 15-20 mins a day. Thanks a bunch for sharing such an informative post with us. Keep blogging.
