Get More Comments On Your Blog

I've been scratching my head on this one for a few weeks.

At the time of writing this post, I've had very few comments on my blog. I am not complaining, but sometimes its worth airing your problems, to explain what not to do, as well as what you might do. 

So on the basis that someone is going to comment on this, here is one stupid observation and some ideas.

My stupid mistake was not having a visible comment box (idiot). Now I've fixed that I might stand half a chance!! 

Here are some other ideas.

1. When someone makes a comment answer when you can

2. Ask for readers opinions and ideas

3. Offer something in return reciprocity

4. Every comment is a good comment, don't put people down

5. Thank people for their comments

6. Ask people for their examples of similar experiences

7. A bit of self-deprecation - like me pointing out, I made a basic error with the lack of a comment box

8. Have a rating system for your content (I am working on that one)

9. Regular interesting posts (Yes you can comment on that)

10.Moderate comments quickly

11. Ask for help

Tell you what................... why don't you add some of your own ideas to this list? Can you help me build a bigger list??

All comments welcome!!!  

Take Care,

Regards

Mark
