5 Simple Ways To Impress other bloggers

This is a short post on a few quick tips to impress other bloggers. They are mostly things that have, at some time impressed me.

1. Leave meaningful comments about the post and blog. Comments are a great way to receive feedback. It is also good to receive comments about the blog in general and not just about articles. Don’t be reluctant to point out problems. For example I appreciated Inspiration Bit kindly leaving a comment about the text in the comments being too grey. A comment was the motivation I needed to get it fixed. (Of course don’t go over the top in your criticism. It will hardly endear you to other bloggers if you point out every misused apostrophe and give advice like, your writing sucks why don’t you go back to  high school.
2. Submit Their Article to Digg / Stumbleupon. Also when you submit it make sure that it is clear who you are and where you come from. This does mean you can’t digg your own.
   
3. Offer opportunities for Links. Run a competition / blog carnival which enables you to submit your articles.
4. Link to Other Bloggers. The easiest way to impress and please other bloggers.
5. Email them. By emailing someone directly you can build up a friendship. If you only reply to a comment on your own blog, there is no guarantee they will come back to read it.
