Greetings, tweeps :-)
If you're an active blogger, you're probably familiar with the popular "U Comment, I Follow" blogging movement. It's commonplace now to see "U Comment, I Follow" badges on active blogs, sending a message of mutual support, encouraging readers who blog to leave meaningful comments. It's a great system, and it can work to build any blog from the ground up.
Twitter is also a great venue for blog development. With many tweeters automating the posting of blog entries and even creating separate Twitter accounts for their blogs, it's apparent that these bloggers are looking for more traffic.
Who isn't?
That's why merging the two methods together makes so much sense. Bloggers trust Twitter to help them build their blogs, and if all of the "U Comment I Follow" bloggers on Twitter were able to find each other, everyone's blog would grow!
Cool, huh?
Thus, #UCIF was born. Simply insert #UCIF into any tweet that would be of interest to "U Comment I Follow" bloggers, and like-minded tweeps will be able to find your posts and increase your traffic and readership. Using either Twitter Search or Hashtags.org, you can instantly find a list of new blog readers who want to network with you.
It's that simple.
The only catch is that it only works as well as the size of the #UCIF community. If there are 5 members, then your blog can grow by 5 readers. If there are 5,000 members...well, you do the math. It's also easier to find more blogs that are closely related to yours when there is a large group to choose from. Essentially, the success of #UCIF depends on tweeple who invite their tweeps to join.
Well, how do we do that?
Simply post the following tweet to your own feed as often as you feel is appropriate:
Using Twitter to build your blog? Let me help - visit http://hashtag-ucif.blogspot.com to meet "U Comment, I Follow" bloggers like us #UCIF
It's as simple as that :-)
More is coming soon, including a #UCIF blog directory for easy searching, #UCIF awards, and more. But we can get the ball rolling by leaving comments on this post that include your blog title, url, and description so that we can get to know each other (and get some quick and easy backlinks, too).
To your continued success,

Thanks for your support Larry and Chethan :-)
Just insert the #UCIF tag into tweets that you want bloggers to respond to, and watch the magic work!
And don't forget to post your blogs here in the comments section (use < a > tags to activate your links)
I'll start:
The Real Black Issues - a blog addressing pertinent issues facing African Americans.
EagleVue Daily - a conservative news media blog.
I'll see you in the blogosphere!

Hi Jen :-)
Based on the time stamp on your post, you may have already seen my response on Blog Catalog.
However, you really just add #UCIF to your tweets and search for #UCIF using hashtags.org or Twitter Search so you can find other bloggers who reciprocate comments the way you do.
Have fun :-)
I hope I undersud this. I Twitted #UCIF and added my blog url for start. Now, I have to coment on someones blog and he/she will tweet me?

Hi, work from home :-)
Thanks for stopping by. What the tag does is allows bloggers who do comment exchanges to find you so that everyone can grow their readership and search engine rankings.
I think I've visited your blog already, but I'm about to double check :-)
Thank you very much for sharing this site and the info.
This is great!
Thanks for sharing this info with me.We all need traffic and this is a simple idea to get traffic to your blog.
Thanks for the idea! I'll definitely be using this.
Okay so if I understand I copy the link you provided as is....no changes?
Then.....when I see that same link on someone else's tweet I know they are also a part of this link exchange program, and I visit their blog and comment on it, or link to it?
That sounds simple enough if I have it right and definately a good idea for building traffic. Thank you for starting this.
Oh BTW my blog http://colethabrowning.blogspot.com
Hi Coletha :-)
It's the tag that you want to include in your tweets.
tag = #ucif
I'll be visiting your blog and others very soon,

Great template, I thought I was on twitter when I arrived on your blog.

Congratulations and thank you for explaining the effect of do follow on the traffic of every blogs. :)
Good luck.
This is really informative. Thanks for sharing this.
Hi, its nice to see one more in the movement of do follow, I can't understand why many of them still stick to no follow when there is no reason to do so except to stop spam which can be done by many other means. Do follow not only encourages the commentators to comment on the blog but also spreads the link juice.
really very great thinking, bcz every blogger wants traffic, comments and linkbacks.
This is a great idea, it allows webmasters to get relevant keywords from their users.
Great site you have! Plus, you're quite a looker if you don't mind me saying so. ;)
Hi! My first time here. I just want to thank you for making your blog do follow and letting us to comment here. It will surely help us to increase traffic.
I've been waiting for this forever! The day has finally arrived.

Awesome post. thank you so much for sharing
This is a fantastic idea. I think the shear volume of comments on this post just shows how ready the online community are for things to start moving in this direction.
Having a blog with dofollow is the generous thing to do, but the argument that having nofollow breaks the internet is false. The links still exists for readers to click on it's just the false page rank spamming that's being affected.
Awesome post. thank you so much for sharing
I really believe in this mutual effort. Thanks for adding your site to this movement.
O how I need more traffic.This will be a great source. Thanks
Thanks, I'll try it!
thanks so much! :)
“U comment I follow” presents a significantly potential beneficial tool for the blogging and business community. Yes it’s a pity that we have to let go some of our precious time to moderate these comments but we can’t also risk a legitimate comment go unattended.
Thanks a lot/
Web master of Thanks a LOT!!!!!

I can understand people not wanting spammers to take over their site and I'm perfectly fine with that. But why do some blogs put the 'u comment i follow' sign up if they are, in fact, no follow? Makes no sense to me.
Could you please explain again how this works? I'm confused.
What about all the spam?

Well at the time of me posting I can see 120 comments which is HUGE so something is working!! Well done.
This is really helpful to new websites. #UCIF should keep up with the "dofollow" so many people will benefit form it. Cheers!!
Thank you for the data on proxies. I have been researching proxies for a while now and cannot figure out which proxy is greatest for me to use. I included a hyperlink in my reference which supplies an IP deal with to be entered in to browse. I can't figure out if that is what I need to unblock websites.
