One of the easiest ways to find out how well your blog is reaching people is to look at the level of comments. Are people interacting on your site? Are they actively participating with you and your content or are they just consuming (reading) and moving on? The comment level on this blog seems to mimic a wave but overall, I’m pretty happy with it. However, if you’re not satisfied with the current number of comments on your blog, here are 5 ways to Attract More Comments.

Seems like common sense. That’s why all bloggers should know these five rules well. Nice work. Good development of each point as well.

There’s no denying it, a lot of blogging in my experience is basically common sense. I often find myself forgetting to do things I know I should be doing though, and always benefit from a refresher.P.S. Thanks for the submit derek, it’s nice to know someone else thought it was Sphinn worthy ;)

Sphunn for #1, ask. The same holds true in many different situations. Those who ask are more likely to receive.

Planet, I couldn’t agree more. It’s amazing how many people try and find the secret to this or that when really the best method is just to ask. Guest blogging, getting other bloggers to post about your blog or product, shoot, even links depending on how you go about it. I mean what’s the worst that could happen? They say no? And then you’re no worse off than you were before.

This is worth a sphinn in my opinion.Some of the points make a lot of sense, but I do like the Top Commentators plugin, a very good idea!!I wish him well with the blogging experiment, judging by the number of comments in all his posts he’s certainly improving his kudos.

Sometimes the most basic advice is the most share-worthy. Things we either forget to do but should, or forget that our new people need to do but don’t tell them.
