I'm sure you would agree that the problem is really one of time management. There are lots of interesting things out there to see and do, and a Wordpress plugin for everything you can imagine (and lots more too). But we also have to sleep occasionally, play with the kids, do a bit of real work, and get in a few rounds of golf here and there. Hi Mark,

I will check it out. Actually I have Comment Kahuna and I haven't been using that so maybe I should. I like your comments - my idea would be to find other blogs in my niche that are worthwhile to read and comment on. No just blogs that - "are little more than self-congratulating navel gazing." - LOL!! Interesting tool. I will check it out.

I tried to make a distinction between commenting for the purposes of getting backlinks and commenting for the purpose of contributing to sites, getting to know others, and generally "entering into the conversation." I don't think commenting for the sake of getting backlinks is worth doing. The author of the study that I refer to in the beginning of the article clearly thinks it IS worth it, but that has not been my experience. I think commenting to get to know others and for them to get to know you is very useful. And so using a tool that helps you to find relevant blogs might also be useful. Just one more thought on the link thing... Occasionally I find a blog where the comments end up in the sidebar of the blog with a live link. That will usually put you on every page of the blog. It is only temporary, but it has much more value than a link (usually a nofollow) at the end of a post. That kind of setup is worth watching for. Hi Richard,

I have downloaded the software and I am going to try it out. I am not sure whether it is worth the added time on my part to read and comment intelligently. Perhaps it will be good if the sites I spend my time on are high pagerank. Any thoughts? I am not sure you came to a conclusion as to whether it is worth a person's time or not.
