Why is it important to leave blog comment

April 13, 2008 - 9:39 am No Comments

Before, when i just started blogging i don’t bother leaving any comments. I am so busy looking at my site. I have read a lot of blog but i did not bother leaving a comment i couldn’t be bothered “Why bother anyway?”. There are times where i type a comment but i change my mind and leave the site without posting it, this happens many time.

I have posted about “your post don’t get comments, should we blame droppers?” last week and the response are incredible. I have read a lot of reasons why our fellow blogger not leave a comment, i supposedly will post all the great comment but i have a little problem at the moment with my comment system and i cannot locate the rest of the comments; I am hopeful that it will be fixed soon, i am glad i have one comment from Rachel of bakedblog.com which i would like to share — this is what she say:

Your Post Don’t get Comment, Should we blame dropper?

April 7, 2008 - 9:50 am No Comments

Do you drop and run? oh! your a bad, bad wolf; but wait, is that where really — the problem is, if you don’t get comments on your blog? This is what i asked to myself awhile ago, i desperately like some comment…i envy those bloggers that have even at least 5 comment i even wonder it their common friends and they commenting each other — Should i join blog catalog, mybloglog or other social networking?

Why, I don’t get comments? maybe, because my post did not interest my visitors? so what should i do? I don’t want to play blame game “blame game is not fun” therefore instead of looking of where to blame, i start making a content that will interest my general visitors (We can’t please everyone, it’s hard to please everyone) but at least 5 comments out of 300 visitors you get is a good start.

What’s wrong with sub-domain?

April 7, 2008 - 9:34 am No Comments

How many times you read this? “If your serious about blogging then you should get your own domain and self host your blog” i also read some response from other bloggers where they cannot understand why other bloggers are pushing you to buy your own domain and self host your site instead of sticking to Dot blogspot or Dot wordpress; There’s one commenter wondering and ask why, What’s wrong with the sub domain?…some really did not understand at all.

I have asked myself this kind of questions too! honestly what’s wrong with using the sub-domain? Does it change the way i blog? Does it make me a better blogger? Does it attract more readers and subscriber?

Now that no follow has been removed, Sip that link juice

February 28, 2008 - 8:22 am No Comments

Have you noticed, that most blog site have “U Comment, I follow” in their sidebar? i guess so, that means this blogger’s have removed their “no follow” attribute that’s been placed by default in their blog, this is to prevent the spam comment; but this is no longer effective or shall i say not really effective.

What this means to you?
If you leave comment in the bloggers post you get link back to your site or shall we call it link juice, as we all know link is the major key to get visibility and more visibility is higher page rank. I have blogged about this a few months ago “way to be discovered by search engine” link is counted as vote to your page.
