Do you know how to track when someone makes a comment on your area of interest on a blog? Now, I am not talking about Google Alerts which all of you should have on your topic area as well as your name. But I am talking about using a tool I blogged about a while ago called Backtype.

Now, that post was on keeping track of the comments YOU made on other blogs. But recently I revisited my account and used it to send me postings to my email, much like Google Alerts, when ever my topic of interest appeared in a blog as a comment.

Hence,  topics , Public Health and baby boomers gave me much to read. This is, indeed, a powerful resource and research blogging tool.

So, here is my challenge for you.  Go to Backtype and start an account. Make this tool work for you. Will you consider it?

Do you need help with an often overlooked part of blogging?

Are you frustrated because you can’t seem

to get yourself known on the internet?

Does it seem like you keep putting your

message out there but no one responds?

Would you like a solution to these problems?

Help is at hand this coming Tuesday evening

at 8PM Eastern, 5PM, Pacific when our friend,

Cathy Perkins, The WordPressWizard, teaches

Your WordPress Blog Commenting Strategy.

You will quickly see more prospects, publicity, and

profits after taking Cathy’s course and applying the 13

individual strategies she teaches.

One student, Phil Johncock, got an e-mail from an

LA times reporter wanting to use his comment (and of

course his name and website) in a column shortly

after leaving ONE comment!

It’s certainly possible for this to happen to you but you

must know the exact strategies to make it and a lot

more happen for you.

We would like to invite you to take WordPress Blog

Commenting Strategies this Tuesday – for less than

the price of just one press release.  (These strategies

will produce more and better results than a press

release).

I got 30 comments in only 10 minutes. How? It was real simple and you can do it too-BUT I HOPE YOU DON’T.!

After my husband and I upgraded 9 of our sites to Version 2.7 we forgot, in the heat of upgrade passion, to ACTIVATE one of our plugins. Namely, Akismet. You know the one behind the scenes catching all that funky spam.

So when I got all those comment notifications in my email, of course I was delighted. But all of them were spam. Boo hoo. So, after a bulk deletion, all the spam was gone. And I made sure that I activated that wonderful Akismet plug in.

So don’t you make the same mistake.
