This is fantastic, excellent overview about getting comments.

To be honest I think the key thing to really getting people to comment is delivering high quality content, that not only is just informative, but fun to read. Too many bloggers write like a dictionary (no offense to anybody); I mean if I’m reading something for the sake of reading it, I want value, information, entertainment and a story!

Story telling in your blog posts is such a great way to engage more emotions from your readers. You can reference a lot of things back to you personally, which many of your readers in your niche will probably relate to; for example – “Lots of newbies don’t get traffic to their blogs; I was exactly the same. I would sit day after day at my desk looking for ways to increase traffic, and nothing! But then all of a sudden…….” and etc. This creates a story element to your posts which as I said, is a great way to engage with readers.

Love the blog and good work, keep it up!

I actually have found that writing substantial comments to posts about topics that I know a lot about on other people’s blogs will make some of their visitors become interested in me and come to visit my own blogs. Just a tip.

Thanks for the ideas. I’m going into my third month with a popular culture and history blog. Figuring out things like the comments aspect is challenging, to say the least. After reading this entry and the comments, though, I just added a recent comment widget, so I’ll see how that works. Thanks!

I have found that the more I respond, the more comments I get. I’m not thrilled with all of them, but I try to remember that there is such a thing as constructive criticism, so I don’t just trash them.

best,

I try to do this with everyone that comments on my blog. Thanks for the reminder. I love it when others do it to me too…so it really works to build “likeability” and in turn more / better response. Tracy

In reply to Pat. I'm with you Pat. I'm thinking of drumming up some controversy.

Well, I’m not certain about everyone else, but I find myself to be a serial consumer of comments, and THAT is what takes up a lot of my time; especially if there’s 50 + comments, I tend to read to the bottom and then feel as though any opinions I may have had at the end of the article have been well discussed already!
Then I leave.

Nice post Stanford. Keep it up.

I also think the industry you are in definetly matters. You need to see a ton of activity in your industry to get alot of great comments.
