    When i started ma blog http://bloggingtruths.com/ 3 days ago i had disable comments and only registered users could comment but was giving $500 bonus stuff for registration.

    But i did not receive a single comment even tough the blog gets 50+ unique visits 100 pageviews/day (300 uniques in 1st day b'coz of stumbling) and even tough comments r dofollow.

    Now i'm forced to open comments to all (done so)...no registration required...what u say is registration important or comment without reg....

    i wanted people to registered to stay in touch with readers...is deir any alternative to this registration like mybloglog

    I always leave the comments open and there's no moderation (spam's caught by plugins). I think that's the best way (worked best for me..).

    yeah..also i'm looking to disable moderation..but fear of the dofollow comments would attract spamming...

    pls share what u do in context of this in your blog

    Enable Akismet plugin. Generate a list of flagged words and put them into your Comment Moderation / Comment Blacklist fileds in the Admin panel. Keep an eye on your site and adjust as necessary.

    I have no follow default, BUT I have do follow for top 10 commenters, this encourages comments I think. :)


    + your blog looks nice. It looks packed with information. None of those "posting for the sake of it" kinda articles. This will get users "sticking and revisiting".

    I wish you good luck with it! I may even leave a comment or two! ;)

    ++ ! ooh, if you need the link for the top commenters plugin you can find it here: http://www.pfadvice.com/wordpress-plugins/show-top-commentators/

    thanx for compliments...i also use that top commentators plugin which rewards top commentators....that's good reward for commentators....you can use another plugin link love which turns all comments of a user to dofollow after he makes 10+ (can be configured to any no.) comments.
