No-One Ever Comments on My Blog. What Should I Do?"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"The<\/span>You say something, but no-one takes a blind bit of notice.<\/p>\n

It’s as if you’re talking to a brick wall.<\/p>\n

Is this how you feel every time you publish a blog post?<\/p>\n

No matter how often you blog, no-one ever leaves a comment. You might as well be completely invisible. While other blogs get bucketloads of comments you never get so much as a sausage.<\/p>\n

Now if this is YOU then perhaps it’s time you asked yourself this question:
\n<\/p>\n

Does it matter if no-one ever comments on my blog?<\/div>\n

Well, if your answer is NO then maybe you should stop and think about this:<\/p>\n

Comments Give Your Blog Credibility<\/h2>\n

Imagine a prospective client who’s looking for a writer. They check out several websites, each with a blog. None of them has a single comment \u2013 except one, which has loads. Which one do you think they’ll prefer?<\/p>\n

Comments add a form of social proof<\/a> to your blog that impresses prospective clients. But they’re not the only ones. When regular visitors to your blog see other people engaged in the conversation they’ll naturally want to join in too.<\/p>\n

Comments Build Relationships<\/h2>\n

We’re building relationships with other people all the time \u2013 with clients, with colleagues and through everyday social interaction. But how many of these are with genuinely like-minded people?<\/p>\n

But through blog commenting you can connect with fellow freelance writers, website copywriters and bloggers \u2013 the people you want to meet, but never get the chance.<\/p>\n

OK, unless you write sponsored posts, sell an eBook or offer some kind of training programme, these relationships aren’t going to lead to any direct business. After all, most of these people are selling much the same services as you.<\/p>\n

But these are the people who are most likely to share your posts.<\/p>\n

They are the all-important advocates for your content. And where they go, prospective clients will eventually find their way too.<\/p>\n

Comments Send Positive Signals to Search Engines<\/h2>\n

Some SEOs argue that comments are bad for your SEO. They say they dilute the keyword focus of your content and pass authority to anyone that supplies a link with their comment.<\/p>\n

Perhaps that’s true. But all this sounds a bit old school for my liking. Search engines want positive signals about the quality of your content. And, within reason, a sure sign of quality is when people engage with that content.<\/p>\n

So now you’ve established you want people to comment on your blog, what can you do about it?<\/div>\n

\"Circled  Build up a subscriber list<\/h2>\n

Wouldn’t it be great if, every time you publish a post, you have guaranteed exposure to a large number of potential readers?<\/p>\n

Well, as any successful blogger will tell you, the solution is to build up a mailing list of blog subscribers. Here’s the basic idea:<\/p>\n
