How To Get More Comments On Your Blog

I always mention that commenting is the most important task for a blogger, and the bloggers duty should never end up after posting he should spend at least 1-2 hours a day in social media and commenting on other blogs which not only helps you in driving the traffic but also helps you to maintain good relationship’s with the fellow bloggers. Recently I have shared my little success of blogging like how commenting helped me in gaining traffic and 1000 comments landmark about my blog.After my earlier posts most of my readers asked me how I manage to get 1000 comments in 2 months of blogging and here my personal observations and the ways I follow to make my blog popular in masses.

Question the Reader

Great articles with unique content is always king but posting an article won’t help you in getting comments it is recommended to ask a question to the readers and encourage them to share your about your article, This may rise an interest in your readers and makes them either comment or give you some share love. I am sure that you will notice questions like “share your opinion”, “what do feel about this?” at the end of my posts. The important one to note here is that you appeal should encourage the readers to comment remember that you should never plead for comments or share the article it makes the reader to create a negative opinion on your blog.

Be active at Shout Box

Always be prompt and quick to answer your reader queries. Be polite to the commentator’s and thank them if they encourage or leave an appreciation in their comments. Never give false statements like you know everything and don’t claim yourself as a geek. Recently we have announced blogging services and many readers raised me question about the types of services we offer, I answered them promptly and also said that we look into some particular issues and assured them that I will come up with a solution. Remember that no one is perfect.

Run Contests

Run contests which are as simple as possible even a “Top Commentator” contest will make the readers (at least bloggers) to leave more comments on you blog. Always be first to Give away freebies like New Orkut design invitations or Google Wave Invitations which will help others and also make them happy.

Comment Box

Avoid captcha at comment box; keep that as simple as possible. As many readers(Even I am one among them) hate captcha  and may also avoid such blogs as they will be time consuming. In case if you need to use captcha use simple mathematical calculations or simple text (even though I do not prefer to use captcha). Instead use spam filter plugins like Aksimet.

Be a Responsible Commentator

Don’t be harsh while commentating on other blogs. Try to convey your opinion and object the idea if you really don’t like it. Never end up posting “Nice Post” or “Thanks”. Be brief and try to be informative in your comments. According to a survey which I read at a blog (sorry I forgot the name of the blog) informative comments will make the reader anxious about your blog and helps you in gaining a traffic lead to your blog.
