Every viral post in your category is an audience of buyers who've already raised their hand. The creator gathered them. You can reach them with a comment that adds genuine value — and earn profile clicks, follows, and inbound traffic as a byproduct.
Done at volume — 10–15 comments per day across platforms — this compounds into a meaningful traffic channel within 60–90 days. The catch is consistency. Clawdbot makes consistency possible.
Why Comments Work as Traffic
Audience aggregation
The creator does the hard work of building the audience. Comments let you access it without building your own.
Credibility transfer
A well-liked comment under a trusted creator transfers some of their credibility to your profile
Algorithm amplification
On LinkedIn, liked comments get shown to the commenter's followers — not just the post's audience
Profile traffic
Every thoughtful comment drives profile clicks — 2–5% of readers click the commenter's profile
Platform Breakdown
| Platform | Comment visibility | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| High — liked comments distributed to commenter's network | Target 10K–100K follower accounts in your category; comment within 30 min of post | |
| YouTube | Medium — sorted by Top Comments (most liked) | Add value to educational content; link to your resource in reply if relevant |
| Twitter/X | Medium — algorithmic with For You boost | Replies to accounts with large followings; conversational tone |
| Newsletter comments | High — small but highly engaged audience | Substack and Ghost newsletters; niche audience with buyer intent |
| Podcast show notes | Low — niche but persistent | Comments on podcast websites index in Google; long-tail traffic |
Post Selection Criteria
Not every post is worth commenting on. Prioritize posts that meet these criteria:
Published in the last 2 hours — early comments get the most visibility
Topic directly adjacent to your product category — your comment will feel natural
Author has 10K+ followers — larger secondary distribution when your comment gets liked
Post engagement trending upward — indicates algorithmic boost in progress
Comment section is active but not saturated — aim for posts with 20–80 existing comments
What to Avoid
Generic comments ('Great post!', 'This!', 'So true') — filtered as spam by algorithms and humans alike
Promotional language — immediately signals inauthenticity; profile gets ignored
Copy-paste comments across multiple posts — detectable and reputation-damaging
Commenting on competitor posts negatively — association with negativity
Commenting on off-topic content — dilutes your category authority signal

Anatomy of a High-Value Comment
Comments that earn likes and profile clicks share this structure:
Acknowledge the post's point with a specific reference — not 'Great post'
Add one piece of information, data point, or nuance the post didn't cover
Briefly share your experience or context — 1–2 sentences
End with a question directed at the author or audience — drives replies
Never mention your product in the comment. Your profile does that work. The comment's job is to earn the profile click.
