MySpace and Facebook Blog Commenting (Free Traffic)
- 58 Comment
Hey guys, I will be sharing with you some free traffic sources that are simple and effective over the next few weeks. Today we will be focusing on Blog-Commenting.
The simplest way of doing this is using Facebook and Myspace.
MySpace is a great medium because it is full of younger adults who are eager to become an adult; whereas, Facebook is full of adults who are employed and generally have a college education. You should know your demographic and choose accordingly.
The first step of joining either of these communities is to create an account. The process is simple and takes less than 2 minutes. Once you have created your account, you can access the creation page, where you can begin to promote yourself and your business on your profile.
For now, let’s skip right to searching for other people’s blogs and commenting on those blogs. I will give you a breakdown on how to do this.
The first step is to search for the different blogs about your business. We will use “surfing” as our example topic.
- Start by going to http://blog.myspace.com. You should see the following page:
MySpace’s blog search page. From here, you can locate all MySpace blogs through searches.
- Search for your niche topic. In the case of my example, I have entered the word “surfing” and then searched for it. MySpace’s engine returned 13,400 results:
A sample of some of the profiles that contain surfing blogs.
- Move from blog-to-blog until you find one that both receives traffic and is relevant to your particular niche, as well as your goals. In my case, I found a surfing blog that may be worth commenting on occasionally:
- Select a blog to comment on.(Some bloggers require you to be there friend before you can comment). If necessary, become the blogger’s friend by sending a friend request.Once they have accepted your friend request, you can begin to comment on their blog.
- Be sure and compose a constructive comment that is useful to the blogger and its readers. Under your comment be sure and include a link to your site. (This step is VERY important, as it would be a waste of time if you do not drive traffic back to you).
This is a great method for pointing one way links towards your site and can drive a large number of visitors to your site. Additionally, it has the potential to increase your site’s SERP. This process should be done regularly as it keeps you involved in your niches community. It may be faster and simpler to have the comments written elsewhere, like on Word, and then simply copy and paste them onto the blog page.
In addition to MySpace and Facebook blogs, you can find places to leave comments in Technorati and Yahoo! Blog Directory, you should also consider checking out the various blogs on http://www.squidoo.com and http://hubpages.com/.

W……..T……….F?! Is it 2007? Spamming MySpace? You can’t be serious, Kris?

Free traffic is free traffic. That’s the whole point of this. And while spamming myspace and facebook IS old school… it still works and I still get people asking me everyday how to drive free traffic.
90% of the people on this blog want to turn $20 into $20,000 and as a general rule of thumb… This isn’t possible. I made my first $700 online in my first week online using ONLY free traffic sources.
If someone wants to drive free traffic and they aren’t doing this then they suck at marketing.
This is just one of the many free traffic sources that will be blogged about for the series in the next few weeks. I’m telling you… I get asked everyday by people how to drive free traffic to their website. 90% of the people that read the Cashtactics blog are new to the industry and have no money to spend.
If you think this is bad… Wait till I get into auto blogging. <– That’s old school…

Haha I love it. Yesterday I saw a fan page I was a fan of…I mean like of… and it had a post that had 500+ comments about a free iPad give away. I posted a link to by Azoogle ipad zip submit. 7 clicks, no submits though lol. Seems worth a shot!

I myself am not a big fan using myspace for links, but if your vertical is conducive to those types of pages, then why not go there. It will probably be easier to post on myspace because they are less likely to monitor the site as closely.

I think that it is a great idea for the beginners as you said.You need to start somewhere. You should leave comments which make somehow sense.

Free traffic is free traffic. This method is old school, and can be a bit time consuming, but I appreciate the post. I show many of my consulting clients similar tactics to increase the traffic to their websites.
blog commenting in general is a solid strategy, and if you can find blogs on websites that have tons of traffic already, then it really is a win-win situation!

Some seriously old school link building, but if you’re a one man show it is one way of stoically racking up the links…this is the first time in years I’ve seen someone using Myspace blogs as an example ;-)

Great tips and tutorial, I’ve never really thought about doing this but it does make perfect sense. I think I’m going to give it a try and see what happens. I’m on Facebook everyday but never really thought about commenting on some of the blogs, cool.

Yea, FB or Myspace blogs never really were of any importance to me either. I’d rarely come across them anyway, unless a close friend or colleague actually pointed one out for me.

Both sites are really top social networking sites along with twitter.
If someone start commenting on these, he/she will definitely get huge amount of traffic. But one thing keep in mind that try comment related to nice and don’t ever create spam.May 12th, 2010 at 5:12 am - Gary David said:
Blog commenting is a nice way to interact with people, and a free source of traffic as well. When you provide valuable comment, people will trust you for giving excellent advice or providing quality information. They also might click your link to know more about you because of the trust that you gained.
thanks for the tip here.

I hadn’t really thought about blog commenting on Facebook and Myspace but it’s time I started, it seems like. I think I’ll start with Facebook because it seems to be a lot more popular than Myspace at the moment.

As long as a comment is on topic and helpful, I don’t see how it can be seen as “spam”. It is really great, when you post and then manage to start a discussion. Blog commenting, Myspace, Facebook etc., is all about adding value.

Yea, but Facebook has a lot more potential. Their hits surpass Google too, lately. On the contrary, Myspace is slowly fading away.
