One of the plug ins I am sure to add to all my blogs is one called “CommentLuv.”
The default setting in Word Press blogs is to not link back to those people who comment on your blog. The Comment Luv plug in overrides this and creates a link to the last blog post of anyone who takes the time to comment on your blog. This serves to encourage people to make comments and helps you get a conversation going with your blog viewers which is good.
You want to stimulate these conversations any way you can, and frankly it’s not easy to get your lurkers to speak up.
The advantage for the commenter is that this is a backlink to their blog and as such helps with their ranking in the search engines. I routinely visit and comment on a half dozen or more blogs almost every day. When I do, I not only support the worthwhile blogs I visit, but help myself out by generating new back links to my various blogs.
As a homestager, you should seek out other home stagers blogs to read and to get ideas for your own blog posts. Encourage them to install the CommentLuv plug in so that you get the back links you need to build your sites rankings.
If you can find a half dozen or more non active rain blogs to visit on a regular basis and get them to return the favor your activities will help encourage other people to comment on the blogs and will over time build you a ton of back links which will raise your site to the top of the search engines in time, and keep you there if you already have the dominant ranking in your market.
You can access the CommentLuv plug in from within the plugin section of your blog or search for it in Google or other search engines.
