As a "Step 3" at least for me anyway) you need to comment daily on other blogs. Now I'm not talking about the same blogs everyday, but 30-60 minutes per day should be spent by a blogger (especially a newbie) leaving real genuine value-adding comments on other blogs. <br /><br />Something like "nice post" is garbage and will (or should be) deleted immediately by the moderator. I mean the blogger should take the time to write at least 3-5 sentences that are relevant to the content that was within the post. Then at the bottom of the comment, they can leave a link back to their website.<br /><br />Truly I don't mind publishing comments that are left like this. It shows that a person took the time to read my content, form an intelligent thought or argument about said content, and leave a meaningful comment. In these cases, I think the person has earned the right to leave a link back to their blog in the signature because they've respected my blog enough to be engaging and intelligent. <br /><br />I have seen for myself what practicing this a blog commenting strategy on a daily basis has done for my own traffic and has allowed me to build some great relationships with fellow bloggers. So yes writing great content and "Stumbling it" with StumbleUpon is important, but engaging with other blogs in your niche is equally important to just get your name, brand, blog, and voice out there.<br /><br />Sasha<br />Confessions of A Fashion Stylist<br />Website: http://sashabowmanshops.com/<br />Blog: http://sashabowmanshops.wordpress.com/ Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918372197016954641noreply@blogger.com
