Hi, I am wondering how to increase and encourage others to comment on blogs. I have already a short introductory post about how to get people commenting. I have now the ideas of: 1.Asking a question at the end. 2.Writing answers when people have commented 3.Commenting on other peoples blogs What other tactics do you people use?
Write about controversial topics. I wrote about Jon and kate plus eight back a few months ago and because of the media and controversy going on, my blog just exploded with visits and comments, everyone giving their point of view, it died down eventually but hot topics will definitely encourage readers to comment.
I would do blogs related to yours leave a link back to your sight and also forums great way to get more traffic and post on topics that are hot like john and kate mabey something on the presidents dinner or sarah palain cant spell lol also mabey on opera sense she is leaving her show or in nascar how the 48 team won four times in a row majior history and talkin there.

This might answer your question: http://www.amblogger.com/blogging-tips/how-to-get-a-lot-of-comments-on-your-post/
1. Ask a question at the end. 2. Ask the reader what they think. 3. If you blog is a personal blog you could put in a few really wild viewpoints on certian issues. 4. Write content people can use so they feel the need to comment and thank you for it. That's all I can think of now.
Make people think or at least guess something!!! Comment in others blogs often so that they will return as a favor to you.
hem, so make a riddle? to make people gues is one unique way to make people comment, never thought about it good suggestion teendudes
one important note: the posts that have more than (N) comments wiil encourage the visitors to give thier comments in turn,, posts with many number of comments took a feel for the visitor that the post is important even if it's not, so the visitor feel that he must to write something . try some plugins such a virtual comments
1. Write about user interested topic. If your post is just a report or news, there is only less chance to get comments. So better you must make it more descriptive and Long. 2. Making your blog active by replying to the commenter is the best way for making more comments. 3. Ending your post with a question is also a great trick to work out. 4. Make your comment box looks as good, as if someone sees it, they must make a comment over it.
Maybe you already know this ... Comments are not the only measure of the success of your blog. There are other metrics. If the lack of comments is discouraging you, you might want to use some other metrics from time to time to see how you're doing on those fronts. If you're using google analytics you can check out your unique visitors, page views, visits, hits, etc. You could also offer some freebie to people who subscribe to receive updates. You might already know this stuff. But I think it's relevant because I know I visit several blogs, really enjoy what I read, but don't leave a comment. I've counted on many of the other metrics except the commenting one.
Once, I gave away money for every comment that people did on one posting. Each additional comment would increase the prize money to a maximum of $50. Somebody managed to win $50 and I got lots of comments.
