You know, marketing your blog is a give and take relationship. One of the best ways to market your blog is to visit someone else’s blog. It’s also the best way to make friends amongst the blogosphere. Most times you’ll find that you have much in common, but, like with anything else, you will run into blogs that you just don’t care for. And that’s ok. You’re not expected (and no one should expect you to) to be into all the blogs you may come across.

If you find a blog that truly interests you, you should leave a relevant comment so they know you’re really interested and not just trying to suck up to them to get them to visit your blog. In other words, don’t be fake when leaving comments on someone’s blog. If you’re real with them, they’ll be real with you. That’s how you properly market your blog, by developing relationships with other bloggers. Doing so can turn into a win-win for you both. Sound familiar? It should, I’ve basically said the same thing on another post.

Remember, if someone thinks you’re just commenting to market your blog to them, they won’t visit your blog. Not only that, they’ll tell others not to visit your blog. And that’s a rep you don’t want to have.
