In the past I have written about how commenting on other blogs makes a difference. This is a nice way of being friendly to other bloggers, because they know you’re visiting and they will be most likely drop into your blog and say “Hi” back. If you get to know that blogger a bit more and here are some of the benefits of being friends with another blogger;

• They will find your posts and if they like them, they will link to them.
• Their visitors will know your an active member and visit your blog.
• You will have the chance to ask them any questions which may help you improve your blog.
• You may be able to work together to increase readers for both your blogs, maybe holding a competition against one another, or advertise each others blogs.
• You may be able to bag yourself some freebies. Helping them out will sometimes get you some free advertising for your blog. Remember, you shouldn’t give to receive but blogging does not count in that, you would like something back.

Writing a Review about their Blog
Writing a review about another blog is a great way of letting them know that you have read their blog and writing a review helps them define what can be improve or what you like about their blog. They may get in contact with you back, because after all you are providing them with a link to their blog.

Write a Guest Post on their Blog
Nothing get’s the attention of a blog owner better than writing content for their blog. They will always like to use a good quality post when they are unable to post. They will merit you for this and they’ll always remember your blog.

Comment a Lot on their Blog
As said, commenting does make a difference. If you’re letting that blog know your reading their posts, its a nice feeling for them. They will reward you with links and a mention. Don’t forget, your helping their blog grow by commenting.

Help Them Out
Ask them if they need any help with anything. They may have a lot to do and you have some free time, so why not help them with their blog.

Spread some Linklove
Every blogger loves being linked to. If you are linking to their posts in your posts then you are doing them a great favour by helping them gain traffic. As I have done weekly as well as many other bloggers, I create a post in which I gather links from posts in the week I have read. Read here why linking to other blogs is a great way to gain traffic.

Building a Good Relationship is Key
If you work for months and years with another blogger, your blogs will feed off each other and they will grow. Share your ideas and learn from one another, it’s a win-win situation.
