Leaving comments on high profile and popular blogs is no secret to getting more traffic and backlinks to your own blog.

However there is one issue…

Very often, especially on those very popular blogs, by the time you get to comment you could be the 30th or 100th person to comment.

You still get the backlink (assuming they ‘do follow’) but you won’t get any traffic. Who reads all 50 comments?

Not many.

Myself, I tend to read the first 5 or 6 and that’s it.

If you are going to comment, you want to be one of the first few who do. That way everyone else reading the post will see your comment and that will increase the chances of them clicking on your link and visiting your blog. Even more so, if the comment adds value and doesn’t just say “nice post”.

Oh, I hate those type of comments.

How do you get to be one of the first to comment?

I’ve been using the FREE tool, Comment Sniper for the past few months and it works a treat. As soon as my favourite bloggers publish a blog post, I am immediately informed. A little pop-up box appears in the bottom right corner of my monitor.

I go to the blog, read the post and decide to comment or not. If I do, I am normally the first or second to add a comment and that brings me more traffic (plus the backlink).

How to install Comment Sniper

Step 1. Download Comment Sniper by going to the website and sign up.

Step 2. Wait for the email to arrive. It takes a minute or two. The email contains the link to download the tool and your free license key. Then download the tool. A new file on your PC is downloaded called cs-setup.exe.

Double-click on the ‘exe file and you’ll see a screen like this:

Click ‘run’ to start the installation.

Register the tool once installed and launched using the license key in the email, otherwise you will continue to see the trial screen and be limited to receiving 10 notifications only.

Step 3. Make a list of the most popular blogs in your niche that consistently have a lot of comments on every post. You will need to have RSS feed domain URL for the blogs you want to monitor.

On the blog somewhere will be the RSS icon, something like this:

Just click on that icon and you will be given the RSS feed domain URL for the blog.

Step 4. Comment Sniper will now monitor the blogs you have added.

Step 5. Wait and watch out for those screen pop-ups that tell you someone has posted a blog on your favourite blog.

Step 6. Click on the pop-up. Your browser will open the blog post…read the post and add a valuable comment.

Please note, to see good results and a lot of traffic you have to comment on a number of relevant blogs on a regular basis. Over time this can bring loads of traffic to your blog.

I hope this works for you. Please let me know what you think and comment below on your results.
