Ever have one of those moments when you’re thinking, “Why the hell didn’t I think of that before?” And it turns out that idea is incredibly simple and obvious? I did as I read this post by Jason of HarsH ReaLiTy.
In this post, he talks about refreshing your network and keeping in touch with your followers, especially the ones who leave comments on your blog. Simply go to your comments sections and click on the names of the commenters, visit and read their blogs. And most importantly, leave a comment. They will appreciate it and are more likely to return to your blog.
But then it hit me. Why not take it a step further? The people who comment on your followers’ blogs probably have similar blogs. Visit those blogs and follow them if you like what you see. Make sure to leave comments! Not only will you maintain your network and keep in touch with your readers, but you’ll grow your network. You’ll gain new readers.
And seriously, go to HarsH ReaLiTy and follow that blog. Jason gives some of the best blogging advice. He’s helped many people improve their blogs and blogging habits, including mine.
Can you guess what I’m doing tonight?

Thank you for the kind mention and I am glad you found the tip helpful!
I often feel inspired by your blog posts. I’ve had quite the day stats-wise. Best day in months, and the visitors are from a wide variety of referrers.
I’m happy to hear that! You generated it though. 🙂
I try my best 🙂
Great reminders of what it’s really all about, the connections.
Absolutely. I love connecting with people. There’s a sense of community, and it’s a great feeling.
It sure is a great feeling.
Thanks for pointing the way! On my way to follow 😁
You’re welcome!
…visiting me for the first time in ages…? 😉
Let’s just say I’m going to attempt to visit my regulars often and occasional visitors occasionally.
Makes sense to me! 😀
I believe this is exactly how I met you. 😉
It works!
Jason is one the awesomest bloggers I’ve ever met. He knows that if you help others, they’ll help you. It really is about making the connections. Not just on your own blog, but on others as well.
Yeah. And thanks to him, I’ve found many blogs and bloggers.
visiting for the first time, I actually follow jason and his blog lead me to you!
Jason’s sending a few this way, it seems 🙂 Thanks for visiting.
Visiting commenters is a great way to find new blogs – and can lead to quite the chain reaction. You do pay more attention to your commenters than many bloggers with your monthly commentition posts. You have even done posts on the blogs of some of your most frequent commenters.
I haven’t done those blog spotlights in a while. I keep thinking I need to get back to doing that.
Next commentition post is coming later this week. And there are huge changes in the rankings. Several new people.
Ooooo! Exciting!
