Getting comments on your blog can be extremely valuable and rewarding. If you blog, you know how exciting it is to see a bunch of comments on your posts, but what exactly is it that you do that makes this happen? Certain types of posts certainly are good at attracting more attention, more buzz, and, yes, more comments. The following tips should help you compose posts that are not only buzz-worthy, but also inspire your visitors to leave you with comments.
If you write something that is shocking or goes against convention, there is a good chance that your readers will take notice. If you have thin skin, this type of post may not be for you, as the deluge of comments you experience may not be all positive, if at all.
Craft a post that has a question for a title. Use the body of the post to propose some suggested solutions to the question, but make sure that you don’t definitively answer the question. Then, at the end of the post, you need to ask you readers to leave their questions in the comments.
People love to put in their two cents about stuff, and if they can put in their input and be an expert, they are more than happy to help. Write about why your bread won’t rise or how you can’t get your nail polish to stop chipping. Whatever you choose to write about, end you post by asking the readers for their advice and their solutions to the problem.
You don’t have to give an actual prize away, but this post type can get you quite a bit of attention. To do it, you should make up a category such as “Best Business Blog” and nominate some of your favorite blogs and explain why. Ask you visitors for their nominations and input, and you will most likely get it, especially if you blog in a strong, active nice.
If you usually write posts, think about posting some media like a video or an image. If you usually share media or other posts, write something up. Changing things up will get your visitor’s attention, and there is a good chance that your regular readers will ask you why you chose to change.
There is no way to guarantee that you get comments on your blog posts unless you pay for them or purposely bring on spam. These tips for writing posts that invite comments make no promises, but they are a great way to boost your odds of getting good, quality comments on your site. As you write, think of topics and approaches that your readers will have to comment on, things that are just begging for a response, and go with those to help better your chances for lots and lots of comments.
I find that talking about a problem or situation and asking for advice is a good way to get comments. I’ve been fortunate not to have had much trouble with trolls.
Its true that very important to make post controversial topics,but if if my blog have no page rank, and my blog topics has limited the theme such as traditional dancing from some cultural, is not attractive for most people. whether it can succeed? what should i do???? its very hard work!
Comments always give us the unforgettable true feelings, but a motivation to continue writing the author, and also the motivation to continue your other comment, and then push the author to write more and more, and then many more comment, etc… So, comment is the soul that makes the development of the blog world.
Personally I like the “write something controversial” angle – at least for an in your face headline / post title (heck if it works for Perez Hilton and the National Enquirer who am I to say otherwise)
It’s usually not too hard to put a spin on a relevant topic that can, at first blush comes across like it flies in the face of convention even if you are just playing devils advocate and highlighting an opposing view before completely debunking it. I find that approach can really heat up a blog and compel more readers to weigh in with their 2 cents… but then again that’s just my 2 cents
These are I00% sure shot tips to get comments, Initially I had only one target in my mind to complete as many blogs as possible, ultimately it effected my content and hardly attracted the readers, now I’m trying to produce quality blogs. Your first tip is awesome, but I think to write something controversial, One needs to have a thick skin to answer questions. Thanks a ton for this wonderful peace of content.
I love blogs and bloggers. I love the fun, exchange of ideas, debate, and friendships that form. And really, that is how I built my blog in the first place. Your tips are sure – shot to get good comments, Initially I made a lot of mistakes but gradually I’m improving my tactics, Thanks a ton for sharing your ideas..
Its really a helpful post but sometimes we get more spam, so i think you should more concentrate on content not on the comment
You are completely right, the problem is that all that you say came with the experience and keep writing and posting. In the meantime everyone of us, the people that are trying to start from scratch, have to follow the instinct and read to learn from people like you. Thank you for the post.
This is a good guide to write a blog post which encourages readers to comment. Good, thanks for the sharing.
I use to post comments on blog sites but unfortunately some of them are not been posted and I cant able to receive an email response on the said sites.
I found my political posts get far more comments than normal posts. That might be categorized as “controversial” though. It’s true. People love to speak their mind on anything they feel strongly for or against and politics is one of the biggest.
really nice site. Plenty of helpful information here. I’ll Surely follow your tips. I’m sending it to some buddies ans also
sharing in delicious. And of course, thank you to your effort.
I agree that there are really a lot of spams today and I believe that they are made by software or even people who are just playing with us…
Its necessary to make post controversial topics and to ask from someone
but if your blog is not for work than what one should do
please reply
I seem to get lots of comments at my various sites but all are spam – most appear to be created by software not a person – I will try some of your great ideas and hope that will increase my quality of comments. Thank you for the useful information.
I recommend you to enable Akismet. This should decrease the spam comments dramatically. You can also further decrease the spams with a captcha plugin, although this will make your blog a little hassle to comment on.
Good luck.
Getting comments can be hard at times for new bloggers.I am not talking about spams.Everyone should follow this guide
Your absolutely right Nippon
