Effect Works

Ever wondered why even your top quality blog posts didn’t receive the number of comments you expected? Are you one of the very few bloggers who comment on other blogs and yet find it difficult to get comments on your blog?

If you said yes to any of the above questions, this post is for you.

Blog comments are one of the ways to measure a blog’s success. The number of comments shows the relationship you have with your readers. It clearly tells you the way your readers like your blog.

I’m always asked some of the best ways to get more comments on a blog post. It hurts when you see “No Comments” in almost every single blog post. It is as if you are the only reader of your blog. But don’t worry. Here are 3 ways that will help you to get more comments in your blog.

1. Ask your readers to comment

Yes! This is the best way I’ve ever known to get more comments. If I could do one thing in every single one of my blog post, I would choose to ask my readers what I want. In this case, if I want them to comment, I’ll ask them just that.

If you have read any of blog posts in various other blogs, you would have noticed that I always end my post saying “Please share your views in the comments”. If you haven’t seen that before, scroll down and see the last line in this blog post. But don’t forget to continue reading the post from here.

2. Ask them questions so they can answer in comments

If you want them to comment, make it easy for them by asking a question. When you ask a question, you will get a quick answer in the comments. Most people who read the post don’t know what to comment about. Why not make it easy for them by asking a question to which they can respond to, in the comments.

I always do this in my blog posts. So I know it works.

3. Reply to every comment you get

Replying to every (good) comment will increase the number of comments you get. When you post a quick reply, your reader might want to respond to your reply. This will increase the comments. Not only will that, but the new readers who never used to comment in your blog, will also start commenting.

So check out the posts in which you have got comments and reply to them.

Do you get the number of comments you expect to get for every blog post? What methods do you use to get more comments on your blog?

Please share your views in the comments.
