Commenting on blogs often brings new RSS subscribers if your comments on other blogs are interesting and insighful; here are some more points that might excite you about this technique:
1. Blog owners get to know you better. It becomes easier for you to exchage banners / links / services or even blogposts if blog owners know you as a regular reader.
2. Other regular readers also start recognize you and will conider visiting your blog.
3. You get a free one way backlink to your website/blog from a page with relevant content (assuming you are using blogs in your niche)
4. Depending on blog’s template and plugins you can get link from blog’s homepage
 
Many bloggers like to reward their readers by removing nofollow from comment links and these blogs are excellent place to get backlinks while indulging in a healthy discussion. Some bloggers go even further and use a plug-in called commentluv; it is a very smart plug-in that looks for latest blog post by the person leaving a comment and includes a link to the post in comment. Commentluv rewards commentors by giving them 2 links instead of one usually given by normal blogs. The second link is for latest blog post on the domain used by commentor.
 
What if you don’t have a blog? Everyone with a blog is getting an extra link whenever they leave a comment. I will share a trick here that can be used to get an extra link for any site on commentluv enabled blogs.
 
First step is to make a rss feed file rss.xml using the template given below. Don’t forget to replace the title and URLs with your title and URL. Choose your title carefully as this title will be used as anchor text in the comment.
 
You are also expected to keep atleast 3 <em>items</em> for commentluv to recognize your RSS feed. You may choose to add more RSS tags like author, publish date, website title/URL etc.
 
<pre>
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<rss version=”2.0″
 xmlns:content=”http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/”
 xmlns:wfw=”http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/”
 xmlns:dc=”http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/”
 xmlns:atom=”http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom”
 xmlns:sy=”http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/”
 >
<channel>
   <item>
  <title>Title 1</title>
  <link>http://yourdomain.tld/some-internal-page</link>
  <pubDate>Sun, 15 Feb 2009 04:44:37 +0000</pubDate>
  </item>
   <item>
  <title>Title 2</title>
  <link>http://yourdomain.tld/another-internal-page</link>
  </item>
   <item>
  <title>Title 3</title>
  <link>http://yourdomain.tld/third-page</link>
  </item>
 </channel>
</rss>
</pre>
 
Once you have made this file and have uploaded it to your server, you need to fool the feed auto-discovery process to recognize your feed. Assuming you uploaded the file at www.domain.tld/rss.xml you need following code in your homepage header.
 
<pre>
 <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”Your Title” href=”http://www.domain.tld/rss.xml” />
</pre>
 
You may choose a different location or filename for the RSS feed we just prepared and should be substituting the RSS URL in following code accordingly.
 
Upload this change and you are now ready to get more than one link when you comment on commentluv blog. You can get links to any internal page you like. If you know a little bit of programming, you could randomize the link that will appear on the RSS feed.
 
Keep in mind that while bloggers don’t like keywords to be used as name for person leaving a comment, but with this method your RSS feed can have the desired keywords, since you are writing a custom title it need not be same as your page title.

Content & Community

If you can provide excellent content then your well on your way, but community may be an even larger part to the problem. See people seem to think that content is all it takes but if you look at any great blogger you will see one thing in common with them all “community”.

I am so passionate about this topic and i believe in time you all will realize the importance of community on a blog!

Its amazing. A few of the new features I really like are:

1. The new dashboard

The new dashboard is great. It lets you access all of the features of WP from one central source.

2. QuickPress

The WP team added a new feature called QuickPress. Basically it lets you make a new post right from your dashboard. This saves me a lot of time when I just want to post a quick update and such.

3.  Recent Comments

They now added an ajax type comment system. It lets you have total interaction with your comments right from the dashboard.

Well thats it for now. Part 2 of the site flipping series will be coming in a few days.

1. Learn to spell: People want to read someones blog because it teaches them something and looks / acts professional. If you have miss spellings all over you probably wont win over the crowd. A few mistakes only makes you human but try to eliminate as many as possible!

2. Re-Read Your Content: Before you ever submit a post live try re-reading it 2-3 times at different times of the day. I bet each time you will find more you want to change / fix. Anymore then 2-3 times is just silly in my opinion!

3. Push Yourself With Goals: Never be afraid to push yourself to being better, getting more subscribers or increasing your traffic numbers. Even if you have to beg people to join your blog eventually your hard work will pay off!

#1. You’re most likely not going to flip your first blog for over $100. Most people get your hopes up that you can build a blog one week and flip it the next week for $500. This is possible, but VERY tough. My first blog sold for $25.00 Which isn’t great, but isn’t bad either. I learned more then $100 worth of information doing my first flip, so the $25 was more like an extra then a small profit. I learned how to find a good domain, write a listing, and work with customers in the 1 month it took me to flip my first blog. And the more itraders or the better your rating is the more customers your likely to get.So even if your first 5 blogs don’t sell for over $50, your still earning peoples trust, which is worth more then any amount of money. Because once people trust you as a seller your going to have more buyers for your larger more expensive blogs/sites.

#2. DON’T OUTSOURCE YOUR FIRST FEW BLOGS POSTS. I know everyone is doing this nowadays but I disagree. I say wait until you earn peoples trust as a seller for having a good product then waste money outsourcing and trying to find a good writer. Usually you have to sift through a lot of scammers and morons before you find an honest reliable writer that you can outsource to.

#3. Make blogs about things you know about. Don’t try and fake it. If you don’t know anything about pony’s don’t try and write a blog about them and then flip it. People can usually see through a dishonest blogger.

And thats it for part 1! Come back in a couple of days to see part 2. Better yet, subscribe and be alerted right away when we post it.
