Do Your Comments Suck? http://is.gd/4Q9IZ

I’m so glad you appreciated the comment I left enough to use it in this post. You see, unlike many others in blogging, I’m not an extrovert.

I’m an introvert and commenting does not come easily to me. I truly endeavor to leave meaningful comments that are relevant and add to the discussion by introducing new points that haven’t been covered or by expanding on those that have been left previous to my own.

I observe that most other bloggers leave more comments than I do. I don’t know if this is because they find commenting easy or if I have set too high a standard for myself. What I do know is that I gain from reading comments, as well as, from reading posts, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to expand my knowledge by reading both.

I know many visitors give useless comments. Like nice posts, great comments. They do it without reading posts.

I would say that you have really good points! I had written an article on the same topic: http://techfreakstuff.com/2009.....ments.html

Also being humble and friendly with the author is expected. No one likes to be humiliated on their own blog. I also, think maintaining good relationships online has become an art in itself.

Also, relevancy and creativeness while posting a comment adds value to your comment which will surely not make it Suck!

Well, it is possible. But then, many humans DO leave comments like “Thanks for this post.”, “Great Post” etc.

And also, if you have a blogspot blog, it is almost impossible to leave spam for bots. With all fancy pop-ups and captchas, blogspot is not a good target for bots!

I have a long abandoned blog that never took off, and it still keeps getting comments… from bots. The thing is, you wouldn’t know it from first glance. They are very generic, simple comments, something like “Nice article, you’ve made a good point. I’ll remember your site ”

My point is that some of those trash comments you talk about, they aren’t even from real people.

Well, that’s what I do.
However, this post was more focused on reader side as they should avoid such comments if they want benefits(backlinks, traffic etc.!)

The thing is comments actually represent yourself and your blog

Exactly! Comments represent writer and his brand and if someone leave comments like “Thank You for Great Post” etc., they are hurting their own brand!

Simply delete them I do see many comments like this daily. Actually we can use some math function to ans before hitting submit. But that will impose some burden on regular commentators.
