    I have been trying to focus more on blogging in general but had never thought about the importance of commenting on others blogs until now. It’s seriously a great idea! Thanks!

    Thanks so much, I had read that commenting was important, but you had a very clear explanation as to why. I just recently started commenting on blogs that I read.

    I have a quick question – when someone comments on my blog, should I send them an email, or reply on my blog?

    Thanks again!

    Hey Katrina, thanks for the tips – enjoyed your video!
    What I also find helpful is to combine with google analytics and find out which site bring the most referring traffic, then make it a habbit.

      Yiye – That’s a really great tip too! My philosophy is “do more of what’s working” and analytic give a great clear picture!

      Thanks so much!

    Thank you for your time and energy on helping us all learn the ways of social media. Building relationships with our clients and peers is so powerful and we all have our own ways of communicating, but I find that your reminders are good ones and sometimes easy to forget in the fast paced lifestyle that many of us live.

    I appreciate your thoughts!

    Take care,
    Whitney

    Hello Katrina! A great video with vital info in less then three minutes – it’s awesome. I did want to ask ( as I am starting out myself ) regarding back links – is it okay for me to constructively comment and provide my blogs actual web address to the comment? Does it happen automatically anyway? Or should I ask and wait for permission?

    Thanks so much!

      Hey Giselle – At the end of every post, use a call to action that invites people to comment below.

    Nice that you gave specific to do items that can be tried. I don’t always like having to watch a video myself. It took me a moment to realize the conversation was only via the video. Here I go anyway!

    How do you get your picture to show up so you don’t have the snowman icon? I’m a newbie.
