Hi Jamie,

Thank you for a great article.

I do my best to reply to all comments. I have also started to delete short comments left on my site like ‘Thanks’, ‘great post’, etc. Those users just don’t get the fact that an author wants real comments, like you said they must be meaningful.

There will always be spam that gets through the cracks, that’s why you need to be on top of your game and really read through all comments made and see which ones you’ll keep or delete.

I hate it when you have to register to comment, that just puts me off and I close the window on that site. NO MATTER WHAT.

Thanks for your pointers, I learned a few things that need to be tightened on my site.

Hi – what keeps me on a blog ?

It’s when I make what I think is a genius comment. Then later I get a response from the blog that says “Hello Mike, so-and-so made this comment about your comment. Maybe you want to add something ?”.

Even if the response is automated, it always brings me back.

Keep up the good work, and btw how do you suggest creating this mechanism in a blog ?

Cheers,

Enjoyed reading this post. I've been using tip 3 - asking a question at the end - for some time now and found that it's great at getting comments and a discussion started. Will have to try out the other tips! Adam’s last blog post..Good Things About Living In Belgrade
