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!
