    Hello there, I have a blog http://human-01.blogspot.com may be I am smart in SEO and getting traffic but even with all of that traffic I don't get a lot of comments from readers, is it I am a bad writer or there is nothing interesting ?

    I used to solve my problems on my own but I give up this time ...

    Ask questions, even go as far as asking your readers to comment. There's really nothing worse than a blog with zero comments on each post, so until you get some major traffic you might even think about disabling comments.

    I see that you posted in August after a fair interval, with the last post before that coming in May.

    Comment in other people's blog. They might reciprocate the favour.

    Get a couple of fakes to comment. When a person sees 0 on the comments section, he doesn't feel too inclined to comment either.....

    start some debated issue at the end of the post.

    That's the evil way to gt comments. Like if i have posted review of new Linux distro, then i would end this post with "Is Vista is less smarter than Linux ?"

    you can also take help of some suggestions listed at How To Increase Your Blog Comments

    give some incentives for people to comment..always ask user's opinions...and ask them if they have any problems...a kind of interaction....b'coz u'r blog is for the readers only....

    Post open ended questions that can make readers answer, and openly ask their opinion. Post something thrilling and leave the end unanswered, that'll compel them to ask.

    agree with gr8liverpoolfan. Put comments on other blog and submit it to social bookmarking site to have comments.

    I already started a contest and the winner didn't contact me, I offered a domain name as a prize he was like "I will figure out a domain and tell you" lol .
    it was a seo contest, the second one no one cared about it .
