Get a GRIP With Article Commenting Best Practices

  • Gracious - Keep your comments positive to make a good first impression. If you disagree with the author of the article, then summarize their point and explain, in a respectful manner, why you disagree. Treat others like you're meeting them face-to-face. Doing so will allow you to bridge the online gap between you and your peers.
     
  • Relevant - Sharing irrelevant or promotional comments and links will undermine your efforts and your authenticity as an expert. Your comments and links should relate to the article content to ensure a positive user experience, increase your transparency, and show you're a credible expert.
     
  • Informative - Wow your readers with your expertise in your niche by providing your own relevant original tips or personal insights. Go beyond writing a generic "Great Job!" and inserting your link; create value by offering points that haven't been brought up or ask questions to promote participation and interaction with the author.
     
  • Persuasive - Entice readers to click through to your website and continue the conversation by balancing content with promotion. Resist the temptation to leave an advertisement for yourself or your business because doing so appears spammy.
