    Controversy, News, Politics, Gossip, something new and etc, get the more heavy comment replies. When I comes to other topics, comments are average. But be patient, the comments will come.

    1) Run contests and giveaways.
    2) Integrate your social media profiles with your blog...Twitter, My Space, and Facebook especially and actually participate in them.
    3) Build links with related blogs and websites (and write great, compelling, original, entertaining content so that people link to you naturally)
    4) Offer tool, ebooks, or some other kind of freebie
    5) Have a great , user friendly design.
    6) Write articles for related blogs or industry publications.
    7) Press Release
    8) Forum sigs (Join related forums)
    9) Bookmark your posts across different bookmarking sites, not just Digg and Stumble.
    10) Create an app, or plug in.

    I am still not good getting comments in my Blog. But I am trying and experimenting on it. I think this happens because I have less no of loyal visitors. Moreover I believe comments are based on the quality of the Blog Post. People don't like to talk with everybody. Some percentage of my blog visitors comment but it depends on the quality of the Post for sure and there is something called "Call for Action". It has to be present in your content to generate good amount of comments. Also You need a good Commenting system. Recently I have found a good one named disqus comment. I have installed it and found success. People don't want to get registered with your blog to comment. You have to have some option like facebook connect , twitter authentication or something like that to authenticate themselves to comment. Disqus have all these. It is like outsourcing your Blog's commenting system. They are still developing. I wish they do more good in future.

    Try to write some hot issues in your niche.
    Express your opinion, it will attract people to comment to your content.

    It depends.But what you can do is to keep your blog updating.And make sure the contents of it are something interesting or real or exclusive so that people who pass by your blog can say
    something.Kinds of people visit it everyday,do not worry about the comments if your blog is really attractive.More patient,please.

    Don't put chatbox on it, People will just use it to spam their links

    Ask some question at the end of a post and tell your users frequently that they can share their views or ask questions through the comment form.
