One of the traffic building methods in the blogosphere is commenting!

Oh! Great Mani, I’ve heard it a million times from others already!!(Did you just say that to yourself?)

I know, i know - you’ve been commenting around at blogs all the time, and all it gave was that tiny bit of increase in traffic - after all that eye-straining and spell checks.
I completely agree.

On a normal day, i spent a major part reading blogs - for “inspiration”, another few hours writing on my blog, and the rest of the time researching and doing my work(Daamn.That’s very less!).

It’s not surprising - i can’t write more than a few valid comments on a blog. First - you got to read the article thoroughly to write a valid comment. And i don’t have the time to do that - everytime i read an article, i’m impatient and is more likely to click on another link and surf along..
I’ve seen comments like -

Good post there - Keep up the good work!

But isn’t that spam? It does not make any sense. I don’t think any author would take such comments.

Okay - so what’s the point here talking about comments?
Today on - I’m going to allot a day a week only for commenting on other blogs. And I’ve chosen friday.

Reasons for a friday.
- I dress casual.
- I’m in a jolly mood.
- Saturday is around.
- I have some lovely plans for the weekend and..
- I can see people talking :D

Stupid reasons they may be, but i’m going on commenting spree on Fridays. So if you have a great blog, please do let me know.I’m starving for quality articles…
