Blog Commenting Tips for Blog Success

     BLOG TIPS - The best blogger developes his/her comment moderation policy through blogging experience. How you handle comments to your blog will greatly influence how your visitors interact and converse with you.  If you have a too strict policy, you could drive away your readers, while a too loose policy can get you spammed and subject to public bashing.  Somewhere in the middle ground, you'll strike a balance between the two, giving the visitors a positive experience while commenting on your blog and helping you towards your goal of being a pro blogger.  Some blog tips / suggestions: 

1. Answer each and every comment you receive !
2. Resolve readers' questions accurately and promptly.
3. Take criticism in a positive way, and don't respond with anger.
4. Give a personal touch, engage the commentor in a discussion (you'd like them to reply).
5. Show top commentators in blog's sidebar.
6. Reward top commentators (small prizes, profile blog post, etc).
7. Try 'do follow' comments.
8. Comment on the commentator's blog with positive comments. (a great way to improve networking)
9. E-Mail your regular contributors/commentors and thank them personally.

These should help you to not only successful commenting, but will improve the overall reputation of you and your blog along with increasing readership ! See this related article.   Keep your comments open and Blog To Great !  Of course, I welcome your comments below ----
