Blog comments

Hi fellow bloggers,



Blogging is an interactive medium. All blogs are fed by comments... It is hard to write to the blank wall. Do you feel frustrated sometimes when it is obvious people DO visiting and reading your blog - but most of them don't bother to leave a comment ever? You spend a great amount of time to write interesting posts, you even attach links, pictures etc... but most of the people don't leave comments... am I that boring?:) Or I just haven't reached my audience, yet?:) But certainly I am VERY thankful to all those who leave comments!:))

Re: Blog comments

I admit I get a little saddened sometimes when I feel I put a lot of effort and energy into a blog and it doesn't get any comments! I try to not get to down though and will distract myself by commenting all over my favorite blogs :)

Re: Blog comments

I have gotten over 500 visitors today and only 4 or 5 comments? A comment lets you know who is visiting too, which is ALWAYS nice. : ) But at least I know people are visiting.

Re: Blog comments

I think it's just something to be expected. a lot of people can appreciate a good post and still not feel drawn to leave a comment about it. i love comments! but I also just love knowing people are reading :)

Re: Blog comments

I admit, sometimes I feel that I'm talking into the wind, but really comments are just a nice extra.
When you read a good magazine you don't comment, same with a great book. You might write to a newspaper editor but only if it was something that really riled you up.
So that said, I love interaction and chatting but it doesn't effect me if I write and post something great and don't get any/many comments.

Re: Blog comments

I don't take it to heart. Many people are pressed for time and might not have time to comment.

Re: Blog comments

Because of this team I follow over 400 blogs. My feed in the morning looks like "War and Peace." I read a LOT, comment when I can but don't always have the time to comment on every blog I follow. I did comment on yours though! I wouldn't worry about it.

Re: Blog comments

I don't comment on everything I read, either. Although, sometimes I'm surprised that certain posts on my blog get more comments than others. When that happens, it's like getting a little present!

Re: Blog comments

It's embarrassing how much I love comments on my blog.

Forgive my ignorance, but how to you see how many readers you've had per day? Is that a google analytics thing, or is it available through the blog host?

Re: Blog comments

If you're on blogger and at your dashboard, there's a link toward the top that says "stats."

Re: Blog comments

Thank you all to taking time to share your point of view about blogging. There is no wrong/right approach to it - it just shows how different we all are. And this is a good thing - it makes the world interesting!:)
To me blogs are different from magazines. It is much more personal, human, interactive. I can - and I do - buy beautiful design, photo or whatever my interest is - magazines. But when I visit a blog my expectation is totally different. I like to go a little behind the surface, I like the "smaller scale" in any means, the blogger's personal touch, etc... I just like the extra what a blog can give over the store bought magazines. When somebody comments on my post I do take time to visit her/his blog whenever I can and leave a comment. When I don't have time I don't read blogs. :) Of course nobody expect you to comment on everything every time - nobody does:) But without comments you just feel a little neglected. I stop follow blogs which are like a magazine; when the blog host never returns any favor to visit her followers' blog - because blogging to me is not just getting information: it is connection (even on a limited level) with people. That small personal touch is all about blogging (to me). Happy blogging everyone!:) judit

Re: Blog comments

I think the more you visit and comment the more people willcome back and comment. I also think the more "personal" the post the more people comment. I get more comments when I talk about one of our guinea pigs then when it's a straight out jewelry post!LOL
