Using 2 main languages like my blog is such a bad idea. People only comments in my native language post. Problem is i need my adsense work in english (no ads for my country language).

Making it easy to comment with a box at the bottom is great because it just makes it that much simpler for someone to drop their opinion.

@ Matt
I think I saw your blog. Well, if you think your blog post might be seen by your readers as unfriendly, try to interact with those who commented, especially by commenting on their blog so that they come back to comment.

When these returning commentators return to leave their comments, it will pursue more readers to comment because the 0 is not showing under every post of yours anymore.

I hope this helps.

@ Rob
Why don’t you try to make them talk by asking questions, giving sarcastic statements to them (do this at your own risk) or beg for them (this works!)?

Sometimes, you should try to seed your comment section to present a established discussion place to your readers so that they are more prompted to leave a comment.

I am having a hard time getting comments on my blog as well. I have the readers but they just don’t wanna talk : p/

I have several blogs running, and for some reason the one that gets the most traffic has comparatively the least comments.

It might be because I have a somewhat facetious, tongue-in cheek writing style and perhaps people think I might insult them or something.

As you mentioned, replying is a good tactic. I have been doing this and it does help a little.

I think the number of comments is important. Once people see quite a few comments on a blog already, they are more likely to join in. It’s getting to that point that’s the hard part …

@ unTECHy
I personally dislike using anti-spam plugin that requires readers to fill in one more blank in the comment form that requires them to squeeze their eyeballs to identify numbers with crazy form.

This equals to a registration before commenting as well.

@ Kissmi
Stalking is just a humor word to plead for comments by bloggers I guess. Anyway, comments is just a blog performance measurement metric and this is why bloggers want it.

its funny, if you don’t comment some people would feel that you are stalking their blog!

If they require me to subscribe or register, I wont comment. However, it wont stop me from reading their content if it’s still worth reading.

If there is a subject I want to comment on, and it requires me to register, it just angers me. If you’re that worried about spam, install an anti-spam plugin.
