Some of my posts are extremely popular, I did a good job of promoting them on DZone, DotNetKicks, Reddit and similar resources. But for instance, people prefer to comment to my stories on Reddit instead of commenting in my blog.
The right way to get comment on your blog is to create quality contents.Its contents should be unique and informative.Moreover if you want their feedback you can finish off your post by saying .DO you agree with this give your feedback or any suggestions.
absolutly aggre with your’e opinion …
with give a good comment , i think it can give more link back for your’e website …and it’s very effective to increase traffic …
I will suggest write about the controversial topic, or against the tide…if everyone is writing great review of say Avatar…go ahead and abuse Avatar…people will come to your blog to abuse…but anyway you will get comments…
Look first of all u need to comment on other’s blog,it may help u .Probably they may revert back with a reply to ur blog,whether negative or positive.
The second thing is if ur blog appears in top results of search people are certainly going to comment on it.
Write a blog which deal on the topics that every reader can contribute their opinion. Something like a blog that you can give questionable thoughts of agreeing and disagreement of generalizing it. It this matter, readers can comment in your blog which turns to debate.
I believe that you be your own style when writing your article, give first to the people with some informative content, than put sometimes with some issue or what ever that is controversial and the best option is make your blog dofollow and put some notice/rule to the commentor to use real name or you will delete it, this will get many comment on your blog.
There are many points which should be taken seriously to get more comments in your blog. Many good points are already posted in this thread but to compile all in one I am taking some credits
Write real and rich content
Ask Questions
Comments in other’s blog often
Write something controversial
Write something wrong
Start a small competitions
Giveaways will do best
Make your post not too lengthy
Make lists
Be friendly
Make your post like you are doing conversation
Keep something missing in your post( intentionally) so other’s can fill it
That’s what my #3 tip above well this thing really works well for me too. The objective is to make strong and long lasting relations with other bloggers there are some commentators on my blog who just comment but don’t continue discussion which eventually loose the grip of blogging relation.
