Hello, My name is Shannon and I have been making money online for the last several years. I am dedicated to showing everyone I can how to replicate my blogging success. I work very hard and I have been featured on some of the biggest blogs on the net, you can 
Hey Guys,
When it comes to blogging there are few things more important then comments, these are the little sentances that your readers write back to you about your posts.
Believe it or not some advertisers will actually look at comment counts per post before advertising on your site. Although not a perfect metric it does show how important your blog is to people and advertisers like to see active commenters!
Today we are going to reveal 6 methods to encourage your readers to start commenting. Try them out and be sure to comment below and let us know what you think and how they work for you!
1. Engage your readers – When your writing your blog posts try to engage your audience, tell them and ask them questions in the post, don’t be afraid to bluntly say “comment below”, you do not have because you do not ask as the old saying goes!
2. Pick there brains – Its time to pick your readers minds, make a post asking them what would make them comment more, once you find out DELIVER!
3. Install Top Commenters plugin – This plugin will really encourage people to post comments on your blog, everyone is more willing to contribute to your blog if they get something out of it!
4. Comment trades – One good way to get conversation going is to make trades with other bloggers, simply ask them to comment on your blog and you will do the same on there’s! But comment on there site first that way they know you mean business and aren’t just begging for comments!
5. Comment around – This one goes hand in hand with the above, read the other mid sized blogs in your niche, on all the new posts they make simply comment about it. Try being the first or second commenter to, it really helps a lot!
6. Get lucky – This one is kind of silly but you may just get lucky and get comments because your content is great, if your lucky then tell me by commenting below!

he has to want to do it before he does anything. your nagging him, even for his own good, won’t make him eat right and exercise. try treating him like any other addict. leave pamphlets or print out papers about the dangers of being overweight where he can see them. it’s good that you’re trying to do it as a family. good luck.

August 19th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
I hesitantly posted one to encouraging comments earlier, so I just wondered…does anyone else feel like this?
August 19th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
I’ve always found that asking honest questions about specific topics (sort of like a poll) generates a fair amount of comments. To a point it depends on your niche, but you can generate a flurry of comments that way.
August 19th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
Add the top commentators plug in and make comment links do follow.
Now get indexed in the commenthunt.com do follow blog search and you are golden!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
“engage your readers” is IMO the best way to have commentators making a positive contribution on the blog. Of course the article must be enough interesting to induce the post, but a community attitude is the first for a successful blog.

My dad was the same. he never listened to us.
it wasnt till we sent him to the doctors that he realised, he lost 2 stone, then put it all back on again and back to his old ways.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:47 am
see if he will watch the Biggest Loser on Tuesdays. Maybe it will motivate him to want to stick around for his family and grandkids.
that’s why alot of them are motivated to lose weight.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:51 am
god, she sounds like my grandma. i’m so sorry you have to live with someone negative like this. she’s trying to make herself seem more important and successful than u. really, she’s just using you to make herself feel good, b/c like u said, losing weight is hard for her.

“the very special critter” its about how a new child at a school in a wheel chair becomes accepted.
sing songs, or come up with finger plays as a way of incorporating the idea of being different…..

Louis Vuitton Outlet are located in all major cities
such as Shanghai, New York, etc, you may travel to these cities and get one for yourself.
I never buy from louis vuitton outlet, the price is
expensive and I always bought online.

The two things that come to mind are modeling and catching them doing something good. They are more likely to notice and appreciate each other’s abilities if they see/hear their important adults doing so.
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:41 pm
there is a wonderful book by mercer mayer that unfortunately no longer in publication but they do have some copies online, i have looked for them called “the very special critter” its about how a new child at a school in a wheel chair becomes accepted.

Read them books on differences and feelings to help them understand that not everyone is the same and some can do things that others cant and talk to them about it.
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Watch closely and point out incidents. If tommy takes susies block away, stop play time and point it out to all students. say something like “tommy just took susies block away b/c he wanted it, what do you guys think about that?”

The negative imput from his peers will help reinforce invidiual needs. Always make it a classroom case. If kids are asked, most will agree that invading anothers space is wrong IF it happnened to them.

Everyone i talk to is saying that computer field is always changing or I am going to get laid off… IS nt there any positive’s????? Please comment and possible give me lots of possitives about getting a degree in comp field???
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Actually, that is a very good course to choose. You get to know a lot about computers and networking, how they are connected, and everything, the topologies, hardware and software part.
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:46 pm
You should be prepared about the topics, do a lot of research. Because it is true that topics about computer changes frequently, that is why it is so challenging to learn things about it.
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Don’t listen to those negatives comments, but you got to ask yourself is this the field you really want to go in. If you can’ t find job here, but I think u can always find job in another country since a lot of our jobs are sending abroad.
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:47 pm
So I think studying foreign language would definitely help you alone especially a lot of company these days have clients all over the world, knowledge in another another language would definitely open more doors.
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:47 pm
It’s true the computer field is always changing, but that’s a positive if like to learn new things. Also a perfect career choice if you like solving problems.
September 22nd, 2009 at 4:47 pm
