This is a Guest Post by Jim Gray. I have not yet seen the full series of “Commenting Ninja” but I’m willing to take a chance on almost anything. Jim definitely knows a thing or two about commenting strategy.
I really have a hard time believing that it’s been 25 years since the TMNT started.
In light of their 25th anniversary I am introducing my new Guest Post Series: “Secrets of the Commenting Ninja.”
“…simply comment like a fiend.”
Commenting Ninja Secret #1: Sign of the Monster
“In war, then, let your great object be victory…not lengthy campaigns.” – “Art of War” by SunTzu
My goal is to be a well-known commenter, not just for my own sake but because it’ll improve my effective presence on the web.
In order to work toward this directive I had to strategically comment every day. I scheduled 2 times per day to comment on IntenseDebate-powered blogs. In doing so I have to become greater than the fiend, I have become a monster.
Do you have what it takes to become a monster? Is this part of your social media strategy?
Much discipline is required to achieve the “Sign of the Monster.” It benefits the blogging community by someone taking leadership in the commenting section.
Stayed tuned for more “Secrets of the Commenting Ninja”…

Justin Wise says
Do we comment only when we have something important to add to the discussion or do we comment just for the sake of commenting?
human3rror says
that's a good point. either or?
Chris Sullivan says
Would think words of encouragement (just a good job or keep it up) would be acceptable in addition to anything value add
human3rror says
yeah. you'd be surprised how little that happens…
Chris Sullivan says
Well in that case, keep up the good work.
Jim says
justin always challenges me to THINK DIFFERENTLY
Phillip Gibb says
It is my strategy and I have learnt from the best, thank you my master 🙂
That and I comment according to the law of reciprocity as well – comment because I want your comment as well.
Looking forward to more gems(shirikan) from the Ninja commentator because commenting is where it's happening.
