A Side Note, Blogging 101 · October 13, 2010

Bloggers, Leave a Comment! It Does a Body Good


Once you become a serious blogger, your appreciation for the artform increases. Or it should. Lately, I have seen that my blogging audience has grown—and I owe a huge part of that to the community that I have subconsciously made on my social networks by befriending other bloggers and writers. I appreciate what they do and I try to show my support in every way I can, including commenting on their blogs.

Let me tell you something—comments mean a lot to bloggers. We spend a lot of our time compiling content for our blogs and writing articles we feel would benefit our readers. When we receive a real and genuine comment, it means a lot. And I do my best to respond to the comment and thank them for posting one. I understand that having a lot of comments is not a sign of a blog being more popular than a blog with hardly any comments (like mine!), but seeing visually that someone has thought enough to leave a comment on your blog does feel good and strokes the ego ever so slightly.

What I cannot stand is a blogger/writer who complains about the lack of comments on their blogs but never leaves comments on any themselves.

To get support, you have to give support. And that goes for all bloggers, no matter how long in the game they’ve been.

When I leave a comment, it is a therapeutic experience. I like reading what others have to say, and even if I don’t agree, giving my two cents is one way that I also release my creativity.

I read once on Twitter that one mildly popular blogger doesn’t read other blogs because they want to keep their blog “organic”. I understand this tactic, but I believe it is just an excuse. When you have found your voice and your style, it cannot be taken away by reading someone else’s blog. What it seems to be is that you hustle a lot when you first start a blog, but once you gain a following, you fall off.

Blogger rule #1—always grind, always hustle. The “top” keeps getting higher and higher.

So there you have it. Just my take on commenting in general. I show love to a lot of bloggers who I respect, love, admire, and give the side-eye to.

Comment and comment often. It does a body good!

    Great post! As a blogger I live and die by comments…people who don’t blog have no idea how much they mean. I’m also an avid consumer of blogs and I try my best to comment on every one at some point; I think it’s just the mannerly thing to do.

      Max, yes girl. Comments (real ones) make ya feel so warm and fuzzy! It’s a validation for all of the work that we do. I will make sure to visit your blog and comment as well. Thanks for engaging in conversation about this topic.

    Being new to blogging, I’m starting to understand how important it is to comment and network with other bloggers. My own excitement over comment notifications is unreal LOL so I can only imagine what it means to everyone else. Anywho, loved this!

      Leah, Welcome to blogging! And I most certainly must check out your blog and leave some comment love over there. Yes, I still get giddy after a year of blogging when a comment is left on one of my posts. I still cherish the interaction.

    Great post! Comments are very important in blogging. If I visit a blog, I leave comments – even if it’s something as simple as great post or you have a really nice blog. I agree 100% with you, to get support you have to give support. Who wants to keep visiting a blogger’s blog who never looks at anyone’s site but their own? Selfish much????

      Kim—Selfish much is right! And it does happen. Sucks for them, though, because the community I’ve made while reading other people’s blogs and commenting is priceless. That is how me and Jessica met!

    I am just starting to blog and I am enjoying the journey. I look forward to reading what other bloggers write. I appreciate that when you leave comments they comment back. It shows that they are interactive and acre about their followers.

    Social change blogger here. I noticed a spike in traffic after commenting. The latest comment tools makes it fun and easy to track comments to keep the conversation going. Also added the WP plugin “contact commenters” which allows you to keep in touch. Additionally, share and syndicating is a great way to support other bloggers. We have a day dedicated to syndication and sharing and often feature bloggers within our blog.

      Thanks for commenting. I need to check into those plug-ins you mentioned to keep the conversation moving. I will also check out your daily syndication feature as well on your blog!

    A lot of ppl read my blog but do not comment there. They’ll send me an email or comment on fb instead. But when someone takes the time to comment, especially if it’s someone I don’t know, it provides additional validation. Well put!

      Daree- I get a lot of comments via Twitter and I don’t discount those because they did take the time to read my blog. But having the comments on the actual blog usually spurns conversation, which is what I long for most. A dialogue of different thoughts on various subjects. Thanks for commenting!

    Good post. I myself like receiving comments, and I show love to other bloggers. I don’t get much feedback or comments, and yes I’ve wanted to stop blogging because of it, but I love blogging. I’m new to the blogging game and know what works for me & what doesn’t. So, I’m going through some trial and errors in order to get it right. There are many bloggers that refuse or don’t like to comment on others blogs. I think it’s selfish, but who am I to judge?

      Hi Ashley! First of all, I just bookmarked your site. It looks fabulous and I love beauty so you are right up my alley. For me, comments is about extending the conversation beyond the blog post. Thanks for commenting, and I will make sure to visit and comment on your blog.
