As part of my marketing strategy to get traffic to this blog I made an effort to comment more on other blogs within my niche. In true affiliate marketing fashion I split test my experiment between two popular blogs: www.JohnChow.com and www.uberaffiliate.com.
My initial thoughts was that John Chow would send a lot more traffic due to his huge reader base but boy was I wrong. After 5 comments on his blog (including one where I was first) not one person made it over to my blog. On the other hand I was pleasantly surprised with the traffic from uberaffiliate.com. After 5 comments on his blog I have seen 85 visitors. To top things off the traffic that came from uberaffiliate was also of decent quality (chances are some of you are from his blog… so thanks for readingJ).

Now the question is would blog traffic convert? Lets say I comment on popular blogs in the finance niche and I send users to a my own blog about financial help where I would promote various debt consulting companies in my blog posts. Would I be able to convert on this free traffic source or would I be able to at least get some e-mails for a mailing list? This would be an interesting approached to experiment with and I will be sure to blog about it if I do try it out
