If You Do Not Comment On This Post You Fail At Life
Posted by: Luke in blogging, tags: bam, blog, blogosphere, dozens, half a day, insightful comments, pagerank, popularity, realising, traffic, tuk, wasting your timeThe title for this post was “borrowed” from a recent TUK posting — where you’d better post a quick comment or you’ll fail at life. 
Anyway, he makes some great points:
I will tell you one thing right now - if you read posts and don’t comment, you are wasting your time. I used to be like that too - I used to bounce from post to post in the blogosphere, just skimming, rarely commenting… before realising that ultimately, I wasn’t doing anything of use to improve my own blog. By commenting, you are.
The next time you aimlessly wander for hours through your favourite list of blogs, leave interesting, insightful comments on each of them, and bam - rather than wasting half a day doing jack all, you’re building links and traffic.
If you’re gonna be reading dozens of blog posts per day — and what blogger doesn’t? — you’d better be commenting on all those blogs! Isn’t that true? Why wouldn’t you? There’s a ton of free pagerank and popularity to be earned!
If you can’t leave an insightful (or funny) comment on a blog post, chances are either the post didn’t hit home with you. Perhaps you just wasted your time reading that post. So pick another blog! Find one with content that says something to you — and write something about it!
There’s no excuse not to leave comments! Leave lots of them. Then go back and leave some more. Don’t restrict yourself to A-List blogs. Try the smaller ones that will be A-Listers in a few months. These will give you more attention and be a more powerful contact.
Commenting is way more powerful than entrecard dropping or what have you. People will follow those links. Especially of there’s a few hundred of them out there. Give commenting a chance!

Thanks for the comment Agent001, hope you get better at video making
It actually was pretty cool considering it was all generated vocals and such.
