RSS and Commenting Useful for Traffic Building
Alright, we all know that having your own RSS feed is great for building traffic. What could be better than automatically letting your subscribers know that you’ve got something new? But I just found out quite another interesting use for them. They’re great to subscribe to in order to find interesting articles to comment on. These comments, in turn, end up driving traffic back to your site.
I’m sure you all know by now that I am really insistant that commenting creates traffic. It just does. You leave comments on other people’s blog and they (and often their readers) will come and check you out. If you leave something particularly useful/interesting that is. In the mean time, you’re building links back to your site which drastically improves search engine ranking.
I’m currently using Mozilla Firefox, which I adore by the way, and a plugin that scrolls my RSS feeds randomly across the bottom of the browser. This way, I can easily find interesting articles from the… many blogs that I subscribe to. From there I am able to comment the heck out of these very deserving bloggers and… in the process I get links back to my site and possibly get a few people interested in following those links.
Now, that being said, I do not comment simply to get traffic. The real reason is that I’m just bored out of my mind… and it takes up some of my time. I figure, if I’m going to just being blowing my time surfing the net, then I might as well get out there, read some interesting articles, comment on them, and perhaps generate a little bit of traffic for myself while I’m at it.
As has been said before. If you want to be part of the internet community, get out there are participate!

getting out there is a great way to get exposure, and some bloggers are even able to get almost a thousand visitors to their blog just from commenting on others.
