10 gemakkelijke Manieren om het Becommentariėren te verhogen Blog
Dank u voor het bezoeken!
Wij zouden houden van achter u opnieuw te zien. U kunt intekenen door RSS voer, of krijg updates per e-mail.
Iedereen wil meer blogcommentaren - genoeg schijnt nooit te zijn genoeg. Als blogger, kunt u gewijd worden aan hoeveel u produceert terugkoppelt. Zorgvuldig ben dat u niet enkel controversieel om post te zijn, in plaats van zich het concentreren op de waarde van uw post zelf.

Gezegd hebben dat, met een paar uitzondering, post dat commentaren van uw publiek inspireert kan kan worden deel van wat uw blog populairder maakt, en het houden dat manier als de commentaren houden komend. Het recht of verkeerd, wordt blog commentaren gezien als aanwijzing van hoe succesvol uw blog is.
1- Maak het zo gemakkelijk mogelijk te becommentariėren.
Geen het het programma openen alvorens te becommentariėren, dwingt hen niet om hun e-mailadres te bevestigen, matigt geen commentaren, geen captchas, en liet mensen commentaren kennen niet wordt gematigd.
Later, kunt u om het even welk hiervan re-toelaten om te stammen de stroom van of echte commentaren, spam of allebei.
2- Kom wat te weten de mensen op uw onderwerp willen kennen en over dat constant schrijven.
Als uw plaatsen over huisdierenminnaars is, en de mensen allen over organisch hond en kattenvoedsel willen kennen, over het schrijven. Het zou niet uw favoriet onderwerp kunnen zijn, maar als het u het in dienst nemen verkeer brengt, maakt tot het een regelmatig gesprekspunt. Uw plaats moet daar uw bevolking dienen.
3- Verblijf op onderwerp.
Zelfs als u hebt themed a dag die wat buitenkant is uw onderwerpgebied (als onze Vrijdagen van Time van het Hulpmiddel met Morgan Lighter) ervoor zorgt al die posten nog terug naar uw centraal onderwerp kunnen met elkaar in verband brengen.
Bijvoorbeeld, schreef de andere dag, Morgan over een hulpmiddel dat video's YouTube in een formaat kan veranderen compatibel met iTunes. Aangezet dat samen met sommige van mijn uiteinden hoe te om verkeer met Webvideo te krijgen en u hebt een geheel nieuw gebruik voor opnamen u aan YouTube en andere plaatsen uploadde.
4- Post regelmatig om een deel van de dagelijkse gewoonten van uw lezer te worden.
People are habitual creatures. They’ll most likely find your site and include it in their new habits through doing one of their old habits.
Today, someone got up, brushed their teeth, got ready for work, went to their office, read their email, then the news or their RSS feeds (or both.) If they found your site through some other blog’s feed they read, and decided to add you, whenever you have a new entry, they’ll at least read the headline.
That opportunity only comes up each time you publish. After that first six weeks, it’s not as important that you’re doing so daily. But you should be putting up comments in a predictable fashion IF you want regular commenters. Whether it’s approximately every 24 hours, or every Tuesday and Thursday at 2:21 pm isn’t as important as making it a regular occurrence.
5- Leave an open-ended question or query at the end of each post.
If you look at Chris Pirillo’s blogs over at Lockergnome, instead of “Leave a Reply” above the comment form, it often says something like “What do you think?” Sometimes I change mine to “What Are Your Thoughts?”
In addition, when you create a post, the last sentence of your post can be a question to your audience that allows them to continue the conversation. If all other barriers are removed from commenting, sometimes the issue is that you’ve done such a good job writing the article that there’s nothing else to add.
Remember the last date you had? Chances are you asked the other person questions that would have to go beyond yes or no, in order to get them to open up to you. Most of us do it subconsciously. The people who are Really good with people already have questions in mind. We ask things like where they live, what they do, if they enjoy their jobs, etc., and the conversation continues.
Leaving your post open to input stimulates conversation online in the same way.
6- Give incentives for responding.
When people leave me comments, one of the first things I do is visit their site. If it’s an okay site and not spam, I make a point of telling at least one other person about it, usually someone on the staff or a friend, or I’ll comment on the site to let them know I’ve been there. They visited my site and left a comment, and I’d at least like to reciprocate.
If it’s good, I’ll find a recent blog post to add to del.icio.us, post the link on Facebook, or otherwise share via Social Media. If it’s great, I’ll write a blog post about them and send them a trackback, or submit it to more than one Social Media site, usually one with more traffic like Stumble Upon or Digg. I’m also a DoFollow blogger.
If you make a habit of reciprocating, you’ll be cementing the relationship. Not all of them will flourish and bloom into long-term partnerships or even friendships. But the ones that do are worth hundreds of the ones that don’t.
7- Interact with people in conversational communities.
I mentioned Facebook earlier. It can be a major source of traffic for you in dozens of different ways, and it’s not the only site that will send you daily traffic. This is one of the bigger secrets to interactive communities.
You want to find sites where conversations are already taking place. That’s it. Whether it’s Google Groups, Facebook, other forum sites, your own forums, sites like StumbleUpon, or Q and A communities, you want to go where people are already talking about the topic you specialize in, or a topic you want to know about that is related to your market.
It is much easier to jump into hundreds of discussions taking place and help advance one, than to attempt to start hundreds of conversations on your own.
Bonus hit: start the conversations with a pre-planned group of fellow bloggers, family or friends the first few weeks. Even if you’re writing for the same blog, when people see that comments are being made, they’ll follow with more comments. After a week or so, you won’t need to plan at all.
8- Engage the blogosphere.
Obviously other blogs have the conversational communities you want to join. Don’t just comment once and leave, comment weekly, even daily. Engage. Track the comments you leave to see who is responsive and start relationships with those people. Link to another blog from a blog post. Send a trackback. Share the posts you find.
Every month or so, make a point to discover new blogs.
9 - Respond to all your comments. Make an effort to do so as quickly and predictably as possible.
Realistically, we can’t be at our computers twenty four hours a day just waiting for someone to post so we can answer right away. It’s just not happening. Some times I write my posts days in advance so following my comment feed doesn’t help me– I might not remember what post you’re talking about?
So instead, I check in every day and answer comments, approximately every 24 hours, all at once. Of course, I’m also not actively attempting to generate more blog comments. Now they just happen as a result of the momentum we started years ago. To help kick start your own momentum, answer each and every comment.
You should even acknowledge the generic comments (as long as they aren’t spam). One of the reasons is that people often look at the number of comments on a post to decide which one to read. The logic (erred as it may be) is that the post where all the action is has to be the best post on the site.
10 - Install plugins that highlight comments and those who make them, on your blog.
Especially if you have WordPress, there are plugins you can use to feature conversations in your sidebars, and even link to the people who are making the most comments. If your site isn’t busy, don’t worry, most of them can be easily configured to accommodate different activity levels.
Being a blogger, professional or otherwise, is no walk in the park. There’s work involved, and someone has to do it. If that someone is you, avoid being overwhelmed by arming yourself with knowledge, forming a plan, and then working it to reach your goals. And remember, blog comments aren’t necessarily a measure of how well your blog is doing. But a responsive community can help indicate whether you’re on the right track.

As always - great tips. I’ve already reset the settings on my blog for comment moderation. Now I just need to figure out how to best apply some of tips.
Thanks
January 14th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Thanks for your tips. This is quite valuable information. I have enabled comments on my blog. one question I’m trying to find an answer to is: how many visitors do you need a week/month to enable them to write comments. I just started out my blog, but that information will become relevant later for me (I hope).
January 14th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
Amazing. You always hit the nail on the head and explain everything so clearly that ‘even a caveman’ can do it - of course I’m referring to me.
Thanks!

That’s a very Thoughtful Post Tinu,
I’m sure it will be helpful for many including my own Blogs. Can You really be so clear in the Post until there is nothing else to share about the subject? You know I never thought about that angle. You are really
causing me think about that avenue. What I’ve been doing is what
I call flying under the radar, because really that is what is most ideal
in the principle of keep it simple. Tinu really, sometime I just can’t help but to wonder, I’m I trying to hard to be strait to the point?
To me it seems so glaringly easy to understand or is this just a gift
built in to who I am as a person. I’m finding my self constantly trying
to stay low and gentle when handling the written word. Having such
a great appreciation for design of words and arrangements used in communications is so awesome and amazing to me. Well I’m going to
make myself stop now because this is a comment and not an article.
Be Blessed always…Peace!

Patty,
Thanks, and let me know if you have questions.
Andras,
It’s not always a function of the number of visitors, or even percentages of who reads what. You could be getting 1000 visitors a day and none of them will comment — it’s all about how good the content is, as well as how much you inspire people to interact. And that’s if they are interactive types — there’s lots of great bloggers who just don’t have the type of audience that responds to what they read.
Jim,
It’s quite possible, not that you’re trying too hard, but that when you write, you end on a closed point. That’s how we’re taught in school, tell them what you’re going to say, say it, then tell them what you said. Doesn’t leave room for discussion.
So it’s not so much that there is nothing else to share, but perhaps that there’s not much to say on the topic in the first place, and once you’ve made the post, all that’s left to say is thanks.
I used to write like this a lot. An example would be news coverage. Someone write a post saying, here’s a link to a story you might like, here’s why you might like it. And what happens? The person clicks the link. They don’t stay to comment and then leave, they revert to the natural default online behavior, which is to surf.
Which is why you have to do things to spark an interruption in that loop. You be blessed too!
Thanks, and hope to see you all again soon.

Hi Tinu,
Interestingly I’ve already been using LinkedIn questions and answers and find my traffic blips when I answer a question well!
Jim

More of a traffic tip than a commenting tip, but yes, I’ve had similar results. I have a whole series on LinkedIn for later this year.

Great tips. You advise staying on topic and posting what your readers want. My blog is more random and trendy, is there any hope for a blog that talks about anything and everything?
January 22nd, 2008 at 6:35 am
Thanks for the kudos.
If your site is about being random and trendy, then the theme is still there, just more hidden. That theme would be things you’re interested in. The target market would be people like you. I haven’t been to your site yet, so I don’t know if it’s a personal or professional blog or what. I also don’t know if you’re trying to be more visible, make more money from ads, from sales — I’d need to know what type of success you’re attempting to reach before I can give even general suggestions of how to get there.
In the mean time, I think there’s hope for a blog that rambles, so long as it’s either a personal blog, or if it is rambling around some loosely centralized theme like your life or your interests or your friends. If Seinfeld can make it being about nothing, why want you?
February 5th, 2008 at 12:04 am
These are the good tips. Thanks!

As always, great tips Tinu.
I know for myself in commenting if there is any extra work involved, I will click away and not bother to leave a comment at all. When I first started Home with Heather I had the comments locked up so tight, that you had to be a brain surgeon to figure out how to leave one. Then wondered why I never got any
February 9th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Kelly,
I appreciate your kind words.
Heather!
Great to see you around here. To what do we owe the honor? And girl, I think we all figured that one out the hard way. I only learned this when I was attempting to slow traffic at the site when I knew I’d be away, and I said “well, when there are more comments, it seems to start a chain reaction. why don’t I lock them down?” LOL…. duh! The reverse is also true.
April 12th, 2008 at 2:39 am
I have found that if you mention specific people in your blogs (especially other bloggers) that there is a good chance that they will leave a comment - it’s a great way to get the conversation started on your own blog.
