Among the many desires of a blogger is that of seeing his posts commented on by readers . If a blog does not receive comments, the first thought is that those posts are not interesting, even if in reality there could be many reasons. Even if many people on the web have closed the comments area in their blogs , we mere mortals - we more intelligent people - like comments, they are convenient, they are a clear sign of readers' appreciation. And of their existence, too. Among the various tips you read on how to gain an audience of readers is writing guest posts , which introduces the blogger to other blogs and therefore to other people, and also the dissemination of posts on various social channels . It is certainly true, but it is equally true that these two methods bring visits , which do not necessarily mean readers who comment.
So today I want to analyze other methods, which in my opinion are valid, to be able to obtain more comments. Does it all start from design? I think yes. I really can't read, and therefore comment on, a blog with terrible graphics, in which there isn't the slightest sign of good taste in the combination of colors and images of the Special Data graphic theme. Then there are blogs where it is almost impossible to read, precisely because of the lack of text/background contrast . Or because the colors used clash with each other and cause discomfort to the eye. A blog with a clear design is a readable blog. And therefore more easily commentable. Quality of content It can not miss. If we write articles of no value, who will ever comment? Jacob Nielsen claims that you should write articles and not blog posts.
It almost seems counterintuitive, but in reality he meant that our blog posts must demonstrate our skills and that we must create content with added value. We can also have a blog that has no business purposes, but the fact remains that we must create quality content . Ease of commenting Have you ever found the process of leaving a comment cumbersome ? To me several times. In fact, in a blog, I remember, I really couldn't comment: it was on Blogspot and among the various options there were "AIM", "Openid" and I don't know what else, I only know that I didn't fit into any of them. And what about incomprehensible captchas ? Or the system that is fashionable now, having to recognize a photo? Or, worse, those blogs that force me to register. Or those who only use Facebook comments: I'm not registered and can't comment. All these methods kill communication , dialogue. Blogging.
