I'm satisfied that our commenters have given you some new elements to think about, and it's excellent to listen to you're getting more feedback now! I have a suggestion particularly for your site. Position a headshot of the writer of each publish at the top of the publish. Individuals want to have images in their thoughts of who composed the terms they're examining, and I think they're far more likely to reply if they do. milford plaza hotels

Nice tips, and seeing the amount of comments you generated, nice case study!!

Twitter is definitely an awesome way to keep people updated on new blog posts, but I would include Facebook (both personal wall as well as dedicated Page), LinkedIn, Buzz and other channels as well.

That’s a good point you bring up about bloggers writing responses to other bloggers’ posts, Paul.

Actually, that’s a great way to get some attention from bloggers you respect. Take an issue they wrote about and address it with a post of your own with a link back to them.

If you write a solid post, you will most certainly gain not only their attention, but also their respect.

I agree that responding and engaging every commenter is very important. I also found in my experience as well that if I go out to other relevant blogs and leave comments, often the owner of that blog would come and check out my site and if I get lucky leave a comment. Another thing to factor is that sometimes other small bloggers are always looking for content, so not only do they have a reason to visit your site somewhat regularly if it’s relevant to their own, but you never know how they may post about some article you write about and link to your site!

thanks for the writeup daniel

Hey Daniel,

I wouldn’t say that that when bloggers sign up for our service (when it’s ready) that the comments are “artificial”, what it comes down to is that most readers don’t leave comments unless there are already a lot comments on a post – we make that happen.

Saying that we “make it look like a blog is more popular than it really is” is true, but we don’t do this to be malicious – we do this to encourage other readers to become engaged commenters.

Think of it as a jumpstart for your blog.

Cheers!
Ian

Good point “There’s some form of list, usually in advice-form, where I have something to contribute” – I’ve noticed that lists tend to get a lot of comments, it’s making sense now!

Cheers!

Headshots and bylines are in the works. Betty’s category has been changed. Thanks!

As for the URL trouble, Gini looked into it several months ago and didn’t see any problems on your end and my IT department looked into it from this end and they couldn’t find anything either. Comments go to spam when I type out the address in the comment box, too. Weird.

Oh, and I will look into your problem with including your URL when you comment, but if you look above, every single commenter on this post has left a URL. I haven’t heard this complaint from anyone else. I wonder why it would be different only for you.
