You’re here because
you’re a blogger and
blog because they want
people to view and
appreciate whatever it
is they’re writing about.
The easiest way to
gage how popular and
useful your writing is
comes in the form of
comments. The more
people comment about
how much they enjoyed
your writing or if you
can give them more
information, the better
you’re doing. Comments
also provide a sense of
community to your blog.
Below are some of the
methods you can use to
give visitors a reason to
take a minute off and
comment on your blog
post.
1. Provide longer more
insightful posts, but
keep it open ended. Not
open-ended as in
unanswered, but
provide them with the
information they want
and something extra
that will have them
asking for more.
2. Use the WordPress
CommentLuv Plugin. You
are bound to be visited
by other bloggers and
site owners. With
CommentLuv they can
enter their feed with
their comment, which
will then show their
latest blog post. You
can also use a similar
plugin which allow
visitors to add their
Twitter accounts.
3. Send them a
notification e-mail every
time someone replies to
a topic they’ve
commented on.
4. Use comment
management systems
to add that social
feeling to your
comments. I suggest
trying out
IntenseDebate or
Dysqus.
5. Show the top
commenters in your
sidebar. People will have
to register for your blog
and it will provide them
with recognition
