I too am currently undertaking the blog comments challenge during August that was the brainchild of Steve King and Jacinta Dean of John Thornhill Masterclass fame! Having said that, I’ve jumped on it very late ’cause of holidays etc etc!
The purpose is to publish one post in the month of August and generate comments accordingly…….well 100 actually!
Oh yeah, but don’t forget to socially bookmark the post after leaving your comment, that would be great 
Actually, anything that can get really genuine comments to your blog is a great idea. There are plenty of not so genuine people out there and I happen to know that the community that will respond to this post are special because they have a great pedigree: John, Dave and Alex you know who you are!
So, that said, welcome
Ok, so this is going to be a very short post!
For a bit of fun, I’ve just joined a free site that uses the “Power of Six”…to drive traffic. If you want to know more, then click traffic.com/5qi" target="_blank">HERE!
Of course, what we all really want are loyal subscribers and as we have to create a relationship first, in the real world, that takes hard work and dedication on our part-this is not a replacement for that process!
Just a bit of fun.
Will it work? I have no idea, but hey…….:)
It’s a mystery!

Hiya Mike,
How you doing?
I am all signed up to the challenge, it’s fun but soooooooooooooo time consuming!
If Jacinta does another challenge and I am not doing it ha ha.
See you on your blog hopping journey, I am sure our paths will cross many times!!!

Hi Mike
Where’d you dig that up? Nice. Chain mail that works for you. Like the 100 blog thing. I like it. It could be a great way to get a new site going.
Thanks for the link.

Hi Mike,
How many visitors on your site did you get already from this chain-visitors system? It is interesting to know if it works. Though based on this 100 comments challenge, I doubt it. It is very time-consuming to do this blog hopping business.

Hi Deb
As regards the “Power of 6″ (if that’s what you mean), I have no idea to be honest.
Didn’t track it
Yup blog hopping is time consuming, but I’ll do anything once

Hi Mike nice to meet you through the challenge, I agree it is time consuming, and I still have 30 or so to do, but it has been brilliant I cannot believe the things that I have learned.
Cheers

Hi Mike,
Lovely to meet you through the 100 blog comment challenge.
I’ve still got quite a few to go but I’ve learned so much and met so many great people it’s been fantastic.
I totally agree that it’s time consuming but I’ve loved every minute of it and am determined to have it completed on time.
Loving the challenge

Your right about the importance of building a relationship with our subscribers. This is not an easy task as we are trying to communicate via written text in emails.
Thanks for for the link about the 1 Million Free Visitors.

Hi Rick
Yup, I have to say I have always found texting/emailing very two dimentional.
But… there you go, no way round it!
As far as the link is concerned, let me know if it works

Hi Mike – this 100 comment challenge turned out to be more challenging than I thought! I’m not sure I’ll ever get to the end of the list. I am learning lots of new tips along the way though – and meeting new bloggers.
Right I’m off to read the Power of 6.

Phew! Thank you Mike as I do need short ones like yours to ensure I complete my task today. I have enjoyed the process and as promised, I am barreling ahead to cover everyone on the list.
Yes, this has been quite the challenge and I’ve learned a lot about marketing online. Stopped by on my 11th hour visit for the 100 comment challenge.
Best,

Hi Mike
I am still blog hopping, only 30 left to do and yes it’s too time consuming – It would be more realistic to visit 1 per day, every day.
