Commenting plays an important role and can make or break a site. What I have noticed from my blog is that the number of comments is increasing. A post can average anything from 20-45 comments.

If it’s easy to leave comments and the user has something to say, then they will submit their comment. Some sites never reply to comments and thats not cool as I need a reply sometimes and never get one. One must do their best to reply to comments as other users also note that the webmaster is active.

George I am agree with you that many websites don’t reply but I think due to heavy pressure of work or moderation problem.
Anyways,I promise you to respond to commenter.Sorry for the inconvenience if it happens here.

I have to agree with them all apart from holding a contest. I have had blog posts with good prizes in the past and although they have gathered 100s of comments the amount of people who have actually stuck around and become readers and contributed after the prize has gone is very small. You need some way of making people come back again and agian and that is usually the content :)

Comment is the lifeblood of a blog and it’s always nice to see some positive feedback from readers. I think asking readers to comment (it might be an Call To Action) and comment on other blogs work.

Comment, no doubt play a vital role. If blog is a nation then comment definitely a voting system which help other to cast their vote on candidate(article). But before asking for comment it’s good habit to do comment on other blog. If you don’t do comment then you don’t have the right to ask comment. I think you write this article in hurry because I think you miss 1-2 vital point. I hope you brain storm about those. But this is really a good article on getting comment.
