Leaving Comments on other people's sites
Leaving comments on other peoples sites and receiving comments from other members is one of the benefits to being a member of WA.
It gives the commenter a chance to see other peoples work.
It gives the site a boost for ranking and it also can prompt visitors from search engines to comment themselves.
Kyle is pretty clear in his teaching that this is designed to be a pay-it-forward system. And that benefits us all. Here are some of my thoughts on some best practices when leaving comments on other people's sites:
1) Make it relevant to the content: Chances are you'll be commenting on a page after someone asked for your feedback from within a WA discussion. **Save comments that sound like a peer review (like grammar corrections, advice for layout etc...) for a reply within WA.** Make your comment on the site relevant to the page content, ask a question or start a discussion. People will be reading the comments that come from Google searches and become part of that persons content. Make sure that it actually is addressing the content, that it shows you read it. If at all possible, use the keyword in the comment!
2) Make it genuine: Avoid phrases like, "Good article" or anything like it. If you truly can't think of something to say about the page you were sent to, look for a page you can comment on.
3) Make it easy to reciprocate: Reply to the request for feedback within WA with your url. This makes it really easy for the commenter to return the favor. You can also leave your url in your comment on the site. After you approve and reply to the comment you can remove the url in the comment after you've returned the favor on their site.
4) Help their bounce rate: You can help their site by looking around some/and or staying on their page.
Let me know if there is a point I may have missed. Thanks for reading!

A great add of information to the WA family Brandi. Very useful, thanks for the share! Chirs
Well put Brandi, this has been a problem and people need to know that it's important to say something relevant. No One wants to be cheated with a comment like Good Article. :))
Thanks you. I see some peer review type comments and I'm choosing to not approve them because it looks tacky in my opinion. It makes the comment look solicited.
I agree! People don't realize you took your time to write a nice comment, then when you read yours it says...Nice Article! That's just so wrong. :)
Very well spelled out Brandi.
Very accurate and sound advice.
Thank you for sharing, and have
a great weekend.

When you visit somebodies site, don't just skim through the article to find something to comment on. Then write a quick comment and be gone in 60 seconds.
That can actually hurt the website you're visiting because of "Bounce rate". Hang out a bit, click on some other pages or just leave the websites window open for a bit.
Phil,
That is an excellent point and I think I'll edit my blog to reflect that point if it is alright with you. Thanks for your feedback!
Brandi
Yes, that's fine with me. It's what I want people to do when they visit my website.
Phil
I recall running across a comment which Kyle mentioned to not sweat the bounce rate TOO much as it can simply mean that people are leaving via your affiliate links, which is essentially the point.
Your thoughts on this? Any elaboration/disagreement?
What! You think I'm going to disagree with Kyle?
You do know he can bounce my dumb ass out of here right?
I just left two comments on your website. I still have those pages open while I write this. Do you think that will help you or hurt you?
I don't know, it's just what I do when I leave a comment on somebody else's website. It's what I'd like you to do if you ever leave a comment on my website.
But, I would never disagree with Kyle. ;^)
That's not something I have considered, Phil. I will be sure to follow your advise from now on though, just in case. Don't want to hurt anyone else's site!
I agree, I think it would be a good practice. It certainly won't hurt anything, eh!!
