The reason for the longevity of blogging lies in the communicative nature of blogging, where you publish a blog post as a blogger and others respond by writing comments. The more people comment, the more energetic your blog will look, or at least prove that the blog is popular.
Study those blogs you follow regularly and analyze why they are full of anger. Why are there so few commenters? Find out what they have in common, what ways these blogs attract you, and apply it to your own blog. Here are 7 ways to attract reader comments.
7 Ways to Attract Reader Comments on Your Blog Independent Blogging Blogging Operations Sheet 1
1: Get out there and read other people's blogs.
Of course, leaving your address on other people's blogs is also a good promotion, leaving an address is not advertising, but an affirmation of the blogger's articles, a kind of communication.
2: Positive interaction, there should be back.
If you see someone commenting, be sure to respond positively, so that your readers know that their comments are valued, creating an atmosphere of communication and interaction and making them think that commenting on your blog is a very active place and valued by the blogger.
But this doesn't mean that every comment should be replied to, for example, there are too many comments on Lu Song Song's blog, and many of them are simply comments to increase outbound links and post advertisements, which need not be heeded, nor will others.
3: Don't be afraid to criticize and argue with your readers.
Successful bloggers will encourage their readers to get involved, using comments or leaving feedback. Don't be afraid of criticism and arguments from your readers, join in deleting comments because of criticism and arguments, this will disappoint the readers and they will definitely not come next time. You should use their comments to better tailor your content.
4: Be open, don't be all things to all people.
I don't want to be exhaustive when writing a blog post, but I also can't be, otherwise readers may not be able to express their opinions, because you've said all you need to say.
5: Be humble and courageous to expose your shortcomings.
I've found through my blog that some of the ones that show their flaws, or article flaws, get a lot of response, while the ones that are deliberately all-around showy get very few commenters.
6: People and Classes, Things and Groups.
People and classes gather together, things and groups of people. The same is true of blogging; readers tend to use the same tone and emphasis as you do. If you're always writing cynical, personal attacks, be prepared to comment in the same style. If your style is friendly, then most readers will adopt that tone as well.
7: Recommend great reviews.
Another thing you can do is mark the comments that you think are excellent as a recognition and reward for your readers, mention them on the front page of the blog, for example, my method is that I will include the excellent comments in the blog's wonderful quotes. This practice will make those readers more motivated and is a great way to get other readers' attention.
Written in conclusion.
It doesn't matter if you don't have many comments on your blog, you should know that in time the most popular blogs are only able to attract readers to comment in small amounts. If you can consistently apply these tips mentioned by Luzon, not only will your blog's traffic gradually increase, but you will also attract more readers.
