Blogging Tips – How to Double Your Comments In 5 Steps

It’s no secret that your blog thrives on its readers, so it’s important to understand how to increase your blog comments as one of the simplest blogging tips! These methods below will help you to not only increase readership to your blog, but double your blog comments in five simple steps:

Ask for comments

This seems incredibly logical, but many readers may feel apt to skim your page but not leave a comment that is worthwhile. If you ask for comments about a specific topic, you can definitely stir the waters and get a conversation started. Many readers may not take the initiative to leave a comment, but if you are asking, they will be more than likely to give their opinion

Ask specific questions

This goes hand-in-hand with the first tip, but if you ask questions on your blog, people will be likely to answer. Any questions that you ask, whether it is an opinion on a product, an opinion on a person, or advice, will be more likely to generate answers. Be as creative as possible! If you have a blog about pet care, ask people questions about their best remedies for keeping their pets active, and you will be likely to have a number of answers in personal opinions. It is always best to ask questions that are close to a person’s heart, making it more likely for a reader to comment.

Interact with any comments that your readers have left

If your readers have already left comments, it is to your advantage to answer back and stimulate the conversation. Readers don’t want to feel like they are talking to themselves, so you need to be just as active in commenting back on your blog to encourage comments.

Be a humble blogger

This is something that will make a genuine impression on your readers, but if you present yourself as a real person with weaknesses, people will be attracted to that. This will let your keep readers get to know you so that they will comment back as often as possible and maintain a loyal following. If people feel that they can really connect with you, they will be much more likely to leave comments about a subject matter and keep coming back to your blog.

Use the Keyword Luv plug-in

This is a surefire tactic that will work to guarantee tons and tons of blog comments, most of which will be spam. This is a WordPress plug-in that you can use to give a Do Follow link back to a website with a keyword as anchor text. Anyone hoping to gain backlinks to their website will be attracted to your blog to leave comments, but as a rule of thumb, it is important to only reward genuine comments that contribute to the conversation. As a word of warning, you will have to weed through a serious amount of spam with this plug-in, but it will provide a serious increase in comments to your blog
