<p style="text-align: justify;">Commenting is not just leaving a simple statement saying &#8220;Hi&#8221; or &#8220;Nice article, thanks&#8221;. To tell you that&#8217;s not a comment and it&#8217;s not helping at all, you are a spammer (lol). From the word itself &#8220;Comment&#8221; &#8211; <em>A statement that expresses a personal opinion or belief or adds information.</em></p>
<p>There are lots of ways on how to be a good commentator and earn that respect from blogs that you are commenting, and in return you might be linked by the author or mention you in one of his articles. These tips are common but in case you forgot, it&#8217;ll remind you <img src='http://blogmatters.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>1.) <span style="color: #015006;"><strong>Watch out the end part of the article</strong></span>, there might be a question of what type of comment the author wants &#8211; maybe a statement telling them they have potential, or grammar, and or maybe advices.</p>
<p>2.)<span style="color: #015006;"><strong> Do not criticize the writer</strong></span> if you found faulty statements or grammars, instead, give them advices and tips on how to correct and make it right to perfection <img src='http://blogmatters.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Give suggestion that you think might help the writer improve the writing skill.</p>
<p>3.) <strong><span style="color: #015006;">Suggest links of references</span></strong> that can help them or can give both additional and new information for his article. And make sure to be relevant as I always say.</p>
<p>4.) <strong><span style="color: #015006;">Don&#8217;t be too boastful because you once suck too</span></strong>, we all sucked too. Do not think that your comment is needed by that blogger unless the writers asked you to, there are more than perfect commentators out there and you better watch out or else you&#8217;ll get bombed.<a href="http://blogmatters.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/commenting.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1052" title="commenting" src="http://blogmatters.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/commenting-300x265.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="265" /></a></p>
<p>Comments are very important in this kind of business, criticisms are the most source of perfected mistakes but it doesn&#8217;t have to be rude sometimes being polite gives more help.</p>
<p>Anything to add? please feel free to comment and give me more suggestions and advices.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading and keep coming back for more <img src='http://blogmatters.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
