Once your Authority Niche Site is built and you are in the habit of adding content regularly, it's time to turn on the traffic tap and start visitors flowing to your site.

Now, before you get all giddy about a flood a traffic in the next 2 days, let me explain this technique does have long term benefits, but it's a slow start. It requires consistent effort on your part. However, done right, this can literally open up a flood of traffic -- over time.

Each blog comment you leave counts as an inbound link, and as you probably already know, Google counts those inbound links as a *vote* for your site, based on the anchor text, the relevancy of the site that contains the link to your site, and a few other factors. In other words, select the sites you comment on with care.

This video will show you how to find blogs worth commenting on, and a couple of techniques you can use to be one of the first to comment on a new post... this is the *sweet spot* when you comment since your comment is seen right after the blog post.

We discuss Comment Sniper, Google RSS Reader, and Feedly as methods to find the content to comment on. And since time management is a necessary ingredient to your online success, we discuss one simple tool that will help you stay on task, on target.

Before you blow off this technique, let me explain about a case study I did. In 30 days, I placed comments on related niche blogs. When I started, my Alexa rank was 2+ million. When I ended the case study, my Alexa rank was 400K. It's all about consistent action to drive traffic.

Each link will be judged on anchor text, link age, domain age, page age, relevancy, and all the other factors that every other inbound link is judged by. Do they pass PageRank? Do they affect PageRank? A resounding yes to both.

When it comes to link building, you need to think long term.
