How To Get Comments on Your Blog

Have you been blogging for sometime but find that you have little or no comments on your site?

To get comments on your blog is actually really simple. Just make sure that you are engaging your readers in a virtual conversation.

While some postings might be more for information or entertainment purposes, it might not harm to ask people what their thoughts are about certain issues. Writing about controversial issues also tend to get a lot more response than if you were to just write about simple day to day topics that might not interest people.

Here are three ways to get comments on your blog:

1. Ask for Comments. Yes you heard me right. Just ask for people to leave a note or drop a comment. This simple strategy lets readers know that you are interested in hearing their opinion.

2. Ask provoking questions. Get readers to think and ask provoking questions that might get them to react.

3. Put some controversial topics in your posting. Anything controversial is where readers will most likely not be agreeable on certain positions or opinons. This will set a stage for healthy debate and will draw in more and more comments.

What do you think are the best ways to get comments on your blog? Care to share a top secret?

By the way, I think that Google ranks a blog better if it gets more comments. Comments thus play a certain factor in the ranking of your posts and blog.
