Hi All,

I been thinking about ways to get more traffic to my blogs, and have just started out by using google blog search to try and find some relevant blogs. I have found a few, this way. But i am just wondering is there any better or different ways to find other relevant blogs to comment on?

Thanks

I'm not sure there's a better way to search, but there are other places you can search. Try

Technorati (http://technorati.com/)
RSSTop55 (http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/)

The RSSTop55 site is list of blog directories. Visit those directories and search. You can also search at the usual directories like DMOZ. Most should have categories for blogs.

You can also search social media sites since much of the content submitted will come from blogs. If you know any forums about your topic there have probably been threads linking to blogs and you could always ask the members there.

The way I built my feed list was all of the above. At first I didn't know of a lot, but over time I found more and more and new sources to point me to even more. Once you've found a few start reading and clicking on the links they post. Some of those links will be to other blogs.

Try mixing up the words you search for. You probably searched the obvious keywords, but search on some of the less than obvious keywords. You only need to know a few blogs in order to start commenting. Commenting will work best if you pick a few blogs and consistently comment instead of trying to get in one or two comments on lots of blogs.

Try this. It's called Comment Kahuna, (http://www.commentkahuna.com/) it's free, and it will search for "Do Follow" blogs in what ever niche you set it for. It also gives you the PR of each.

I haven't used it for a while but if I remember correctly it will post comments in bulk, (may not want to use that feature as it may look like spamming).

It's about 75%- 90% accurate.
