Do you want more comments to your blog? Do what I do and implement what I call "The 10-Comment Rule" ... I post a blog entry, but I don't post another one until the original post gets 10 comments.
I have the ten-comment rule because I'm just like you and have been to loser forums with tons of posts and zero replies to all of them.
On a blog, there is less focus on the replies and more on the original post, but that "empty restaurant" effect is still there.
Participation-wise... if someone fills out a comment to a post of mine, they're no longer just surfing. They are now in interactive mode and are more likely to buy from me if I mention a product.
The ten comment rule gets you massive search engine food. Search engines love lots and lots of content, and with comments, your pages can become much longer than the original post... that means more keyword matches for you and more search engine listings.
Finally, there is the intrigue factor. If you see lots of comments on posts you are more likely to read them, which means you spend more time on my site, which means you're more likely to see something you like.
Remember, your blogs are there to make you money. Update it and tell people about yourself, tell them what stuff you are working on and what products you have just put out. Try to work a call-to-action at the end of every blog post. Either you want to send them to a sales letter of yours, sign up to a mailing list or subscribe to an RSS feed.
If you are talking about someone else's blog or site, mention that in the BEGINNING of the post. Don't make that your final call to action (unless it's an affiliate link).
WordPress allows you to write PHP scripts in such a way that it "hooks" into the WordPress blogging software to make anything you thought possible: http://www.wordpressoncrack.com |
