To get people to comment on your blog is a challenge. It is not as easy as it sounds but then again, it is not impossible as well. You might have many traffics coming in but not everyone is willing to take some time to post comment on your blog. There are a few ways to keep the comments rolling in on daily basis but you will have to constantly coming up with new ideas to attract more people to comment on you blog.

You have to realise that there are reasons why people comment on your blog. First of all, they either agree or disagree with what you are saying. Secondly, they get something useful intrinsically and thirdly, they get something useful externally.

The first one is really referring to those “linkbait” posts. Writing these is a great way to get people to comment on your blog. These are basically content pieces that stir something up in people that compels them to argue, agree, or just share their thoughts. These are often controversial postings that are written either because you feel strongly about something or you are hoping to generate some great discussion amongst the members in your niche. Either way, these post can be gold when used in the right way. They attract people to your blog like a magnet.

The second reason refers to the fact that they feel good about posting a comment. It can be either because they need to get something out of their mind or to thank you for writing the post. If you have excellent content, you will have a large audience focusing on you.

The third reason is usually intrigue by those who want to get something from your blog. It can be either a prize or reward. For example, you might be offering a prize for whoever that can answer a question you posted. Otherwise, you can ask your readers to contribute something through the comments, and you can reward the best contribution. Regardless of how you do it, you can always be sure that people will get attracted to your blog.

Free gifts and rewards are always so good that people can go crazy about. While this is not something bad, you should have special events every month or so to keep them coming back for more. I am sure there will be a time when people just can?t wait for your next post.

If you understand why people post comments on your blog, you have found your way to attract more people to comment on your blog. It is that easy.
