One funny thing – some of the later comments on this blog for “buy [various drugs]” do not follow your advice at all. Some people just don’t get it!

I am very still new to blogging, and really had no idea of how to handle it. I am glad to find such a wealth of advice. My blog traffic is still poor, but I am on my now, at least.

I never realized that backlinks could generate so much traffic. Woohoo!

How can you generate local/regional business with a blog that can be read anywhere in the country – and the world? Like many companies, Long & Foster Real Estate (www.longandfoster.com) is a regional presence. Aside from their very effective relocation services, most of their business is limited to their East Coast footprint. Is there any way to blog for the masses while still targeting a very specific part of those masses? In other words, how do you attract – and retain – your primary audience without alienating everyone else?

This will take away much of the SEO value but will still allow new leads to click through.
Just remember that shoddy, sloppy comments will “brand” you as shoddy and sloppy.

People that do not read their comment or spell check are the worst. If you don’t have time to do those two simple things, why bother commenting at all.

Have a great day of commenting!

My problem is probably a bit more that I am shy at getting started talking. Thanks for the tips. I try to live by the golden rule which also applies to bloggin. :-‘
Thanks

Especially important is the proof reading – not only for typos, but to make sure the wording flows correctly. Some of us think faster than we type (or is it the other way around?), so words sometimes get left out in the first draft. Many comment systems allow for a “preview” before posting (like this one) – if they do, it’s best to use it!
