Comment posted on 7 Tips To Make Your Comment Stick Out Like a Sore Thumb by Ana Hoffman
Standing out is definitely the name of the game when it comes down to driving traffic via comments, Steve.
You are right, THIS group of comments is going formatting-crazy and I love it! 
Have a great day.

- I sign up for comments when I feel it’s important for me to establish a relationship with that particular blogger.
Alternatively, you can go back and check to see if they posted a response to your comment. A bit more effort, but you’ll keep your email box clean.
I do it a lot with comments and have never been overwhelmed by responses, but I am sure it can happen like it did to you.
Great to see you!
Ana
- Thanks Marcus. I personally love that idea as well.
Hope to see you again
Ana
- You made me feel all warm and fuzzy with your compliment, Kevin, thank you.
I think pinging is definitely worth talking about in a future post; thanks for the suggestion.
As far as “checking the box” is concerned, if you are on a reputable blog, you have nothing to fear. I do it all the time and you can always unsubscribe.
Always a pleasure to see you here!
Ana
- That’s definitely different, Heather.
Ana
- I am with you, Mark.
Sometimes commenting is harder than blogging and can definitely take a lot of time. I used to try to do the same thing - commenting on everything, but I realized that not everything deserves a comment.
Good point on formatting; everything should have a balance.
Thanks for the insightful comment, Mark!

In regards to your question I think that if you are adding to the conversation it adds value to the blog post. I don’t consider that spam at all. I really appropriate your guide to commenting and I will try my best to follow it as I comment.
Thanks again for posting such great content.

Thanks for the great tips, Ana. I thought about replying to somebody else, in case you don’t have any thing to say in comment but I really haven’t thought about replying to first commentator. It’s awesome.
I am not sure about receiving follow up comments via email because it takes lots of time to go through each of them. (I signed up for one post at FamousBloggers I I received like 85 emails a next day). What do you think, Ana?

Hey Ana,
Thanks for sharing these tips. I’ve implemented a few of them myself recently. I used to try and reply to each and every post I ever read - however I often found I spent too much time trying to think of something valuable to add.
Now, I go with my gut. If I feel I can add, I will, otherwise I just tweet.
You mentioned in your call to action about the spam concern. I think if you go overkill on formatting, then you may have your comment binned just for being unsightly. Really there is a fine balance.
I try to be polite, and add something to the post. If I’ve a disagreement with a point, I try to raise it without being provocative.
To finish - you mention about being the first commenter. I think that if you are here, it’s like ranking on page 1 of Google. You will certainly get a few clicks to your blog. Really this is a good point that lends itself to subscribing (via RSS or otherwise) to the blogs that you read. This would maximise your chance of being the first commenter.

Hi Ana,
I love the tip about using the blogger’s name. Once every few days I jump into my spam comments to pull out any real ones that were accidentally caught. The very first thing that is sure to catch my eye is when the comment is addressed directly to me. I’m sure many other bloggers go through this very same process.
One of the most important things to me is staying genuine. If you’re leaving a comment with the true intention of interacting and adding value, the blogger will realize and appreciate it. Read the whole article, add your point of view, and do it without sounding like you’re overly sucking up…you will be light years ahead of the average commenter.

Except for the formatting part, I’m already into those 6 tips and I say you’re very much right about it. I hate it when people post comments on my blog reading ” Nice post, good job. ” - which looks like a spammy, copy and pasted post. I have already deleted a lot. I think they missed the whole point; it’s not all about creating backlinks but connections for future collaboration. Same goes for sploggers, internet trolls, and human bots, haha. Thanks!

I’m glad I was able to connect on over here now. These are some great tips. I never thought to format your comment like using . That’s a perfect example of how to stand out and create curiosity.
I also like your tip about creating a commenting thread with the first comment. The only thing I don’t know is the plugin best to use to get them to subscribe to the post so they get notified when you post your reply.
Any suggestions?

Love your commenting strategies, I’m not going to employ any here but just want to add my gratitude for the brilliant value you bring to this whole community.
Perhaps I’ll add another tip - though many people do it anyway - leaving space between sentences makes it easier to see and read a comment, much as it does a blog post.

G’day Ana,
Good stuff as usual….
Did not realise the html could be used here…
The newbie in me would like to know:-)…. does the code just get added here?
Another thing I find useful if the person leaving the comments would say where they came from… how they found my blog.
This of course is for the first timers.
Cheers
Bryan
Hey, Bryan - yes, you just add the code as you type up the comment.
I see your point about saying how you found the blog; it’s very likely to draw the blogger’s attention for sure.
Good to see you!
Ana
Hi Ana,
thanks for sharing your advice. I haven’t used HTML in comments yet, but what you are saying makes perfect sense. Replying to the first commenter is also a cool.
But you are right with your statement that we have to make sure that our comment is of high quality, especially if we do something “unusual”. Because it might look like a cheap “trick” in this case.
I like Michel’s word picture that your tips are like caffeine for the brain.
Take care

Ana,
This is one of the most practical posts I’ve read in a lnog tmie. It is really VERY intorampt to separate yourself from the pcak.
Of all yuor suggestions, I tnhik the practice of uisng “white space” is the msot important. Having lots of whtie scpae is much easier on the eyes, and if your reader has to wrok to read your post, tehy won’t.
Hree’s an itnirsteneg fact: ppeole raed in “blcosk” of lreetts, not the word isetlf. So even tuhgoh teshe wrods have been run turoghh a text scbrlmaer, yuor bairn decoeds them wtih esae.
That being said, why not make it as easy as possible for people to understand your thoughts?
Keep up the good work. You set the standard for “value”.
Ana,
Your blog is fast becoming my most visited!
John makes a great point about text and spelling. As I began reading his post, I though “jeez this guy can’t even spell!”
Couple of things I need to get my head around:
Pinging Comments
- Actually, I don’t really know/understand what this is! Maybe you have more detailed posts on it?
Notifications
- I tend to worry about checking this box for fear of being spammed but maybe I worry to much and should trust a few more folks!
Keeping with your advice, I thought I reply to John’s comments too!
Thanks for a great blog Ana - keep it up!
You made me feel all warm and fuzzy with your compliment, Kevin,
thank you.
I think pinging is definitely worth talking about in a future post; thanks for the suggestion.
As far as “checking the box” is concerned, if you are on a reputable blog, you have nothing to fear. I do it all the time and you can always unsubscribe.
Always a pleasure to see you here!

Great Points
Using some bold and html is a strong way to have your comment leap out from the pack. Of course, in THIS group of comments everyone is doing it
Very nice ways to distinguish your comments from the pack, all of those little things can really help to ensure your comment is read, or at least scanned and perhaps increase the chance of someone following to your link.

Wow Ana,
This post is so full of great ideas and suggestions.
I appreciate that these are not your every day commenting tips. Great sense of humor throughout.
I’m so glad you mentioned using the person’s name. Another thing I have to add to that is to make sure it’s the RIGHT person’s name. I’ve had people comment and call me by some other name, not even close to mine.
Also make sure to spell their name right. Misspelling someone’s name makes it look like you don’t care, or have the time, to make sure you’ve got it right. It’s a failed attempt at looking like you care.
Last point on this name topic and I’ll stop, I promise.
What do they call themselves? If they don’t shorten their name, you shouldn’t either.
Thanks for all the awesome tips!

It’s all about attention to detail and I now double and triple check everything.
So good to see you back!
Ana
Hey Ana, I hadn’t really thought about #3 and responding to the first commenter, something new to try! I use italics and bolding quite a bit which gives your content a little personality. It’s a small strategy but it really goes a long way for emphasizing points and being more descriptive.

Ana, I didn’t realize that I could format my comments using HTML. Do you know if that works on most blogs? I’ve never tried it because I’ve been worried that the tags would show up as text
I love your tip to reply to the 1st commenter too! (As much as I hope everyone reads your blog, I secretly hope that not everyone starts doing this!)

Hope you will.
Ana
Some blogs also give you the ability to format your comment with bold, italic and colored font. This will also enable you to highlight some of the key points in your comment and should be used if available to stand out.
Ana and Andreas,
Great post. Even though you said it a couple of times in a couple of the items, I think that the number 1 step to making your comments stand out is to provide useful information.
How many times have you seen, “I agree,” or “Good post. I do all these things,” or good old spam!! (Get 18 BILLION Clicks to your website in ONE DAY!)
I just found your blog and have added it to my favorites!

Oh God - pressure to leave epic comment mounting…
Ana,
Great post my friend, and one that I cannot agree with more. Blog commenting does incredible things for both traffic and ranking, and ANY tip that one can implement to get noticed amongst the scores of bloggers clamoring for attention can only be a good thing, right?
I have always made sure to make my comments stand out by using either humor, sarcasm, referencing something very specific from the post, - but as you said, I ALWAYS provided value first and foremost.
Thanks for sharing these tips, I personally use the first commentator trick, but I have not thought to add html to highlight it - nice
(except this guy’s facebook page beats mine - and MINE is facebook/alexwhalley AND links to alexwhalley.com a million times…WHAT THE?!?! LOL…SEO man, what can you do 
)
As for the name - I have a unique one, and aside from a professor in the states, I OWN it now
Sorry, went off on a tangent there. (long comments was on the list Alex - allright - giggidy
)
Alex@niche site marketing´s last blog ..Geez- I wish I knew THAT when I started Blogging!
Alex - you are absolutely right; your comments always stand out no matter what blog you comment on.
I got a comment on Technshare the other day from Johnny - he said that the 2 of us are the best bloggers there and he couldn’t quite decide which one is more fun.
Of course I told him it was me and you would agree given a chance.
Look forward to your next rant.
Ana
Ana,
I love the idea of using HTML tags. I’ve never tried that before.
As a HTML dunce, one way I’m going to try to implement your idea is to type and style my comment in my WP dashboard (but probably more subtly than this)
If you see a bunch of HTML code in this comment, then my idea doesn’t work (or more likely I made a mistake!)
Thanks for sharing!
Sounds like a brilliant idea, Caroline!
HTML code does take a bit of getting used to and eventually it might be more efficient to just learn a few lines of code. Works great for a start though!
Glad you enjoyed this little exercise.
Ana
Hi Ana
Although I have only recently been visiting your blog I am enjoying your style of writing….very easy to understand tips for this newbie to understand and also all the encouragement you give for us to succeed with our blogs.

Some useful tips in this post that I have not implemeted yet so will bookmark and try them out. Thanks

Hey Ana,
These are some great commenting tips you are sharing here.
You are right, commenting on blogs is one of the great ways to drive traffic back to your blog. You can also use this strategy to promote yourself as an expert and authority on a given topic, if you leave intelligent comments, that is
Thanks for sharing.

I can definitely attest that those are *great* tips that really work, Ana. I would probably also add that it is best to not just focus on the “A-list” blogs. You can really get your brand out there and get traffic back to your blog, by choosing a group of smaller blogs in your niche to consistently comment on. The key is to add value and make sure your comments are good ones, just like you do with your blog posts.
Very good point, Roy.
I stopped commenting on A-list blogs a while back for that reason. It’s become a competition to get the first comment in and I am not up for that.
Plus, I feel as you probably do that we can get so much more out of building strong relationships with other great bloggers with smaller blogs, but who have some great content to share. Sort of like what you are doing with me.
Always love your feedback, by the way; you are a great example of leaving perfect comments.
Ana
