Search Social Media
It’s so surprising how many people often forget to use social media to find relevant blogs and those that are powerful. For example, you can view several profiles looking for popularity and those accounts that have thousands of followers. If they have thousands of followers, you know that people are looking over their content and they will be awesome blogs to content on. Make use of all the social accounts that have a huge following because they can produce solid results going forward. Once you have a list of ultimate social media blogs, it’s time to join their email lists so you can get an update when they write new content. Try to be the first to comment on these blogs because you have just increased the likelihood of someone clicking your name driving traffic to your blog.
Ask Top Bloggers
If you have been networking with many top bloggers within the industry then it’ll be a great idea to ask what they think and what blogs actually people have been visiting and following. They have been in the industry long enough to know what blogs have been influencing many readers and can have a massive effect on the traffic generated to your website. You can even contact some bloggers that you have no contact with previously asking them for their expert opinion so that you can compile a list.
This strategy has proven to be very effective because you are getting a huge amount of knowledge from those that are experienced within the game. Not only that but streamlining what you know about others blogs saving you so much time and money searching for the information that is of value.
However, not to mention that you can always do some trial and error, making sure that the blogs you have been testing actually make a different. Be sure to have a analytics in place like Google to analyze the blogs you are commenting on and then looking over your stats to see where most of the traffic is coming from. If you find that one blog outperforms another then make use of that blog when commenting.
