The idea here is to leave a good comment that you are genuinely proud of. Avoid leaving comments that can be programmed to leave like “good post!” or “interesting stuff”. Instead write something that people will think that you are a human, even get interested to read your comment or at times pay you to leave more comments. When you leave things as such you promote your brand better.With all the changes in search engine algorithms for dodging web spam it has become more important to get more genuine human and less mechanical content.

This being said all SEO companies preach CRO to their clients but many do not use it themselves. It is always a good time to brush up the old site and bring some zing to it.
