Wow, I never thought that commenting blog posts would be that positive!.

I try to make some time to read a few blogs that I find really interesting and useful (yes, yours is one of them! ), but I rarely leave any comments, I trend to close the tab and go back to work!.

I guess I´ll start commenting more often, then!

Thanks for the info!

I always try to leave comments on posts that I thought were really well written, or that I have a particular opinion on. Typically, when the writer askes for feedback too, I feel more inclined to give it so long as I have an opinion.

What puzzles me though is that, as social media becomes more and more a regular part of self promotion, is that people hardly leave comments on your blog anymore, and to show their appreciation they share it on Twiiter, or Facebook.

I really like the idea of building a community on a blog, and fuelling discussion on post topics, but I don’t seem to know how to do that–sometimes also, I wonder if it’s the topics that I write about.

Whatever the case may be, I find it happening more and more.

Thanks a lot for this article Alex, it was all well said.

Thanks for the comment, JP – yes I agree. Personally I would advise against leaving a blatant link within the comment itself, but make use of the link you can put in as the click through link for your name/business name.

Thanks Alex, good stuff- though- don’t you think adding links to your own blog in comments has a bit too much of a stink of self promotion? It’s a tricky balance, keeping sincere and natural as well as promoting yourself. Especially for us art geeks.
