3 Top Ways To Attract Comments On Your Blog | Geek Business

Potential clients and advertisers are probably visiting your blog every day. I know they visit mine. They keep contacting me about guest posts, banner ads, placing affiliate links on my blogs, and best of all, hiring me to write articles for their sites. Sometimes they pay me in excess of ?80.00 just to put a link on my site, tucked away into one of my articles.

Do you know how potential clients and advertisers judge whether they want to do business with you? It?s exactly the same way you?d judge the health of a site. You?d look at the Google PR rating, you may look at the Alexa rank, you?ll look for social media proof (how many people liked the blog on Facebook ? for example) and you will look at the amount of comments each blog post gets.

The most important element demonstrating how deeply people interact with a site (of the ones mentioned above) is how many comments others leave on a given blog. I have blogs ranging from PR4 ratings to PR1 ratings. Sometimes the PR 2s and 3s get more blog traffic than the higher rated ones. This proves that rating isn?t everything. Clients want to know that their links will be seen and clicked on. Get more comments on your blog, and you?ll most likely be contacted by more clients. How do you do this?

Ask a question in your post title or at the end of your articles

This one may seem like a simple thing, but it works. Many people visit your site daily, but only a few of them leave comments. Why is this so? Check the posts on your sites with the most comments and see what they?re like. I?m sure that they either had elements of the other points raised below, or they directly asked questions.

You may not want to be too controversial because this could lead to losing readers if it?s not handled properly. However, some of your posts should definitely ask moving questions in the titles. All of them should ask the reader for their opinions and finish with a question (about the article) they just can?t resist answering.

Make your site a resource

A sure-fire way of getting comments on your blog is to make your site a resource. People love reading and sharing resources. Even if your entire site isn?t a resource, take time to write in-depth articles that offer vital information to readers in your niche. Lists are great, but not all your posts should be list type. Do you run a blog about web traffic? A fantastic resource for your readers would be to list 50 blogs that allow you do-follow links in their comments (for example). If one blog post (out of ten) is a resource, you?ll be getting comments for years from them.

Leave comments

This one is not as obvious as it seems. Bloggers set up their blogs, write great content, and have sound SEO. There are thousands of other blogs in your niche and everyone is fighting for clients, readers and traffic. People won?t come to you, no matter how great your site is. You have to go to them first. Leave helpful comments on their blogs and ask them to pop by your site after a while. Comments take time to build up. You have to make the first move.
Do you have other ways of inviting people to make comments on your blog?
