Why wouldn't you comment on my blog?

    My site http://tinyurl.com/236gms

    Sites in my niche normally have oodles of people commenting just to share their enjoyment of the cuteness. My site has never had that. I'm not sure why. It's always been a very silent community, I only have 2 people out of the 1000-3000 UV daily who routinely leave comments.

    I'm very involved in my comment system, if I notice someone frequents the site I'll immediately remember them and make extra sure to interact with them.

    What is missing? Is it just a rut I need to bust out of: People see no one else is commenting, so they don't comment? It's been nearly 3 years now so I don't know if this is it.

    Any ideas?

    Great collections, looks pretty cool. I think the banner image looks too large, try to reduce its size.

    It is cute. I'd look for a WP theme that emphasizes the photos more .... a "cuter" template, that de-emphasizes the text and plays more to the strength of the visuals. Just my 2 cents...

    maybe its just me
    but as what i`ve seen on the first page, posts are stuffed with pictures and videos. People observe those and dont mind commenting.
    Maybe requests like " whats ur opinion on this " or something would do the trick

    1/What is there to comment on?
    2/Is it important to you that yoru readers comment-if so why?
    3/ They are voting so is that a comment, simply not a text based written comment?
