    Another great tactic, now I’m seeing how you make your stuff go so viral or get your name out so much. I thought I had a good plan, but you got some stuff that I can add!

    I am definitely going to give this method a try. I guess finding popular posts that are also related to your niche is the tricky part. Thanks!

      You are absolutely right… that is the hardest part but this is something to be aware of when you do see a related topic getting popular… you may see it ina link from someone else or an email. Make sure to take advantage of these!

    I’ve seen doing the comment thing on Digg or Delisious but not for both. I didn’t think using both like that to get traffic.

    great idea I will use to my benefit

    Delicious tips Cow, I dig it!

    I feel a bit dumb right now though cause I don’t know the clue. lol

    Luckily, I did understand the commenting advice, so at least I came away with something.

    Cheers!

    Hey John,

    I appreciate the video showing some blog marketing stategies, especially about following the links there and commenting on those as well, great stuff!! And also making sure that if Delicious has it, then make sure Digg has it as well.

    Thanks for the info,

    James
