Thursday, October 22, 2009 4:19->
Popular blogs are sure to rank higher in search engine result pages. The quantity and quality of traffic is one of the factors that determine the popularity of blogs. The heavier the load of traffic to your site is the more popular are your blogs. The number of comments from the readers of your blogs is an index to the bulk of traffic to your site. So, I have shortlisted the most useful tips on how to earn comments on your blogs.
Do not forget to greet new readers of your blogs. Greeting is an etiquette that may help you earn comments. There are some plugins installing which on your site makes it easy to say hello to your visitors. It is a good option to make them familiar with your blog posts as well.
Make sure responding to the comments that you receive from your readers. Your reply convinces them that you have read their comments. You can reply to your visitors by recommending on their comments. Or else, you can send them direct response comments by using any of the plugins that many blogging platforms offer.
Let your visitors build an identity as frequent readers of your blog posts. Nowadays, people love socializing online. It will be the best bet to trap those visitors who love being online social butterflies. Adding Gravatar to your blog site will facilitate it for the readers to present themselves with their virtual identity and socialize with other commenters on your blogs.
Throwing direct questions to your readers is sure to help you elicit response from them. It is my experience that the questions that I have put at the end of my blog posts draw readers to chime in. It is wrong to assume that they will simply leave their comments. This practice makes your blogs a means of interaction between your readers and you.
Track the links from bloggers to your blog posts. If someone posts links to your blogs, it means that he or she is a reader of your posts. Read the latest posts of those bloggers and leave your opinions to return their favor. It is a great way to build a bond with successful bloggers in your field.
Reward the visitors who are active and regular readers of your blogs. Besides replying to their comments, you can reward them to appreciate their effort and labor that they spend in reading and commenting on your posts. Rewarding is the best means to appreciate the contributions of the readers who have made most of the comments that you have received till date.
Some readers prefer sharing their thoughts through private emails to leaving their comments in the public comment area. Make sure having a contact form on your blog site to make it easy for your readers to contact you directly. It will encourage them to keep up with you.
Some readers are in the want of time to leave written comments on your blogs. It does not mean that they do not read your blogs or appreciate them. Add a rating system to your posts for the use of these readers so that they can easily rate your posts.
