Blog commenting is one very powerful way to build relationships and attract traffic to your blog. If this has not been part of your strategies, then I encourage you start doing it as soon as possible.
However, a lot of bloggers who comment on other blogs do it without that special touch that will lift them up and position them as the masters.
Many writers have told us we have to write long comments and avoid things like ‘great post’, ‘thanks for sharing’, etc. That’s basically what some of us know about blog commenting. However, a lot can be added to this to make it seductive.
NB: Long comment doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve added value to the post.
Now, let’s look at simple tips that will add some uniqueness to your comments and attract readers to you in an irresistible way:
Read the article for accurate knowledge.
Generally, people scan articles online. That’s the truth about it and it’s been going on for long. This does not mean it’s the set path to follow. If you want to add value to your comments, you have to go beyond being a scanner. Spending more time and reading the article gives you more knowledge and makes you a better commentator.
Be real and conversational in your comments.
Building relationships is one of the forces behind blog commenting. If you miss to apply this to a single comment you make, you are standing as an obstacle to your own growth. Your comment should be a personal message you are addressing to the author of the article. Don’t simply pour out words like a bot without a brain. Be conversational and real.
Pay attention to ‘who is the author’.
This is one error most commentators make and I hate to see this. The fact that I’m owner of EmFastIncome.com does not mean that I’m the author of all articles on this blog. I have guest authors. When commenting an article, make sure you read the name of the author so you don’t mention someone else in your comment. That will really be funny if you do it.
Be friendly.
Sometimes you you may not agree with the opinions of the author. You may even be annoyed with him. But then, don’t let readers read your annoyance in your comments. Find a way to comment and keep the smiles on readers’ faces.
Use a real picture of you (gravatar)
This has been like one of the oldest tips around but I still see a lot of comments with default blog images for commentator’s picture. That doesn’t add value to your online presence in any way. If you want to build relationships with people, your picture is one of the things that attract attention. A personal image is most advised.

Be simple.
Write in simple and understandable terms. Avoid long phrases and jaw-breaking words.

One quick way to fail in WordPress and blogging is trying to learn the hard way - by searching for free videos and tips. That's like trying to complete a HUGE jiggsaw puzzle, for which the pieces always don't fit.
There's a better solution though...

Wonderful Post,
If we comment on other blog we should add some values to our comments instead of simply making it as ‘thanks’ ‘excellent’ so that we can grab other people attention to our comment and they may end up with our site. Its not only to end up with our sites, we can make some health relationship with blog owner, author and fellow bloggers.
So always valuable comments are worth a million words.
Thanks to the wonderful post

Enstine, I always stress on this topic that leaving comments itself is an art.
And art have a basic rule that when you will learn it more, it will become better and better.
So for me being perfect was very difficult, and I started reading the comments of good bloggers and observed one thing, “I was visiting all those websites whose owner had left awesome comments”.
Then one day I started thinking what was the thing which was attracting me to go to those sites and see what those people were writing.
The answer of this big question was – “Quality of Comments”
Those comments were so awesome that any regular reader would like to see the sites too.
So here come the conclusion that we must write the effective comments and try to add value in articles.
Thanks for the big share.

the common commenting error i see people mentioning the blog owner’s name on post by guest authors, this shows that they hardly read the post.
I will love to add this, dropping of links in the comment box is a no-no, it makes you look like a spammer!
