I always wondered if it’s better to use your name under “Name” or the name of your blog. I mean if your blog’s name isn’t your own name like John Chow of course.

I must confessed that I often used to comment just to get back links. Your post has really changed my outlook. I strongly support your point of view that relevant comments and constructive criticism are must for getting respect and building relationship online or off-line.

I usually look at the other comments to see what the tone of the discussion is. Some blogs have very lengthy comments while others have fairly short ones. So I think you kind of have to guage what is tolerated on a specific blog before making a comment. I don’t think its necessary to always agree with the blogger, but it does pay to be nice and respectful at all times.

I only try to stick with a few blogs that I like where I comment. Other ones I read and comment if i find it absolutely necessary. Alot of times at John Chow, I know some of the other bloggers who leave comments, so it gives an opportunity to have a conversation with them as well.

Yeh it does get quite annoying when you just see people posting stuff like that in their comments and it makes it a lot less for you to click on the link to their site, which is in most cases why people left comments like that in the first place.

Yes…but the majority of blog owners don’t mind as long as the link is relevant to the post.

You have a point. I’ve seen people try that affiliate link trick.

i think that would depend on the blog owner how he will see the comments if he saw you posting different links then he might delete your comment or if he is generous enough to understand then might approve… this will purely depend on the mind state of the blogger… true or not ?
