How you can use blog comments to improve your rankings on search engines

Guest writer Jonathan Solis at ProBlogger offers these five tips:

1. Provide a call to action: Ask a question. Invite your readers to comment on your post.
2. Reply to all comments on time: Give a prompt response.
3. Know your target keywords before writing your comment: Do your research.
4. Use complete sentences in your comments: This gives you more opportunity to use your keywords again. It also keeps the search engines from seeing your responses as spam.
5. Reply to comments with another question: Keep the conversation going.
