More comments really increase your credibility with readers. To get more comments, first, you must invite your readers to leave feedback. Do this at the end of EACH post. Second, reply to each commenter. It encourages not only more comments, but lets people know that you are actually reading what they have to say! It makes your readers feel warm and special (Note: this strategy is not recommended for people who have too many comments to handle all ready. But if that was your problem you probably wouldn't be reading this post.) In addition, every time YOU reply with your own comment, this counts as a comment (which adds to your "social proofness" and popularity factor.) Third, make sure each post you do is updated on your Twitter account.
Great advice for the beginners. Encouraging your readers/visitors really does help stir up conversation. Keep up the great advice!
Another tip is installing a do follow comments plugin.. But you will then have the problem of spammy comments, so you need to approve them manually
I preach this all the time on forums. lol I always here bloggers say, I don't get very many comments. Then you go look at their blog, & what comments they already have, they don't answer the readers comments! It's very easy to double your comment count, by simply answering your readers comments, & while posting legit comments, don't forget to include keywords specific to the blogs subject/Title. That way each time Google crawls the page, they see fresh content/keywords!
Wonderful advice for the newbies.... Most bloggers forget the seconf point, that is replying to comments. Its a must...
Do follow is the best option in this case, but the problem is spam spam. I gets 95% spam comments but Aksimat can do all the work.
forth is to organize a Top commentator Contest on your blog. That helps to get more frequently comments on your blog
Add Top Commentators plugin to your blog will be make ur blog more attractive and attract more commentators where they're compete each other to be in top on ur blog
