Hey Roland
Great points – its funny – I’ll happily get amongst it on forums, but rarely comment on blogs – time to change my approach!! I love reading a list of comments – there are often so many additional gems to be found!

thanks for the timely reminder…

Hi Lee. I told you there was a post to be written along those lines of ‘slappin a baboon’! So I did! Thanks for the inspiration.

I agree that commenting is a great way to build a relationship with your readers. Plus, we are learning from each other. There have been so many great comments at my site (e.g. book recommendations, links, quotes, insights, etc) that has enriched my life and others.

It’s also very important, IMHO, to reply back to all of your comments – another sign of building a relationship with other people, whether they are in your niche or not. We can all learn something from each other.

After reading an article on commenting, it would be rude not to comment!

Over the last few weeks I’e come to take this advice and I’ve seen a dramatic rise in the number of visitors (and comments) I receive. Now, the interesting thing is that it’s not just the sites I comment on coming over to my place and commenting on my site, it’s lot’s of traffic.

Commenting builds your brand, your credibility as an expert and can generate more business for your site.

(Interestingly enough I found your site from the comment you left on another, so case in point)

Good work Roland!
