Step 1
Encourage Comments - It's actually proven visitors are more likely to comment if you simply ask them to leave a comment.
-
Step 2
Ask Questions - Ask the question in the title of the post. You can also ask questions in the middle of your blog. Either way, people like to answer questions.
-
Step 3
Be Open-Ended - Don't hog all of the "good points". Don't cover every angle of your post. People will state the obvious, let them.
-
Step 4
Respond to Comments - Interact with others who leave comments. You're allowed; it's acceptable to leave comments on your own blog. Show your readers their comments are valued by creating a sense of an active community.
-
Step 5
Don't be a Know-It-All - Allow your gaps of knowledge to be an open door to comments.
-
Step 6
Ignite Controversy - Use caution, you don't want your visitors at each others throats - or do you?
-
Step 7
With all of that being said, what do you think? Are commentsthe tell-tale sign of a blogs success?
