Thanks for the tips, I do get comments but not as much as I would like to. I guess I still have some learning to do. thanks for the tips.
Other tips that are not-so-obvious: 1) Must be No-Follow Free in your blog script (no follow tags removed from comments), and 2) Use the Top Commenter widget for maximum exposure for your blog on Do Follow Diver.
Top commentator is the best way for comments and dofollow too (unless we have good anti spam plugin) There are so many appreciations for Top Commentator widget nowadays.

I hardly get comments… Will follow your tips .. 😀
Those are some pretty good tips, especially #4 in regard to being a commentator of comments. I think that helps with spurring conversation and overall community building. It allows those commenting to feel comfortable knowing that if a point wasn’t clear in the intial post, they can feel confident in knowing the blog writer will clarify it by responding to them. Also, I think the top commentator plugin does help in attracting comments.
Agreed,. Also we should reply instantly and asap. This can make readers to have trust in us
share and ask more the next time.

Its not necessary to reply all the comments.. When there is a need or when there is a query we have to reply to that immediately.. And also bloggers should moderate the comments of their blog frequently

Very good list for bloggers. Iv been slowing starting to do some of these on my blogs.
You are right. Nice points… Need to comment more on other blogs
good idea is to put dofollow in comments, then people feel they get something for commenting 😉
I have tried “Ask a question to the end of your post”. I got more comments but one one answered the questions I asked. They mostly wrote their views about the content of the post.
Rest of the tips you provided have worked quite well for me.
Yes most of the people follow this. I ask “Did I miss something” to know what I have missed. Our readers are always smarter than us.

This is a good post.
Most people don’t add comments because they visit your blog/website to get something out of it. Very seldom they’re willing to give…
We do have a lot of … questions! We have a tax advice forum, and the participation has been impressive!
Comments section, if of course, the best place toe express ourselves and I don’t remember when I left a blog without leaving comments. I always ask something to ask for, or suggest or appreciate for.
