Blogs tend to have a lot of people that read them… on average, I hit at least 500 uniques a day usually with more than 1,000 coming in on the good days. The thing is, and this is the case with most blogs – the visitor to comment ratio just doesn’t do very well. With my posts tending to get around 15 comments each time (it’s actually around 16-18, but to make this easier let’s go with a rounded number 
) the conversion ratio is 0.03 or just 3% (estimating 500 views a day). Whereas that number would be fairly decent if you were talking about sales made, this is just comments – something that takes all of thirty seconds to do and more important is free to all those that view the blog, and they don’t even require so much work to leave… so why don’t more people comment on your posts?
I will tell you one thing right now – if you read posts and don’t comment, you are wasting your time. I used to be like that too – I used to bounce from post to post in the blogosphere, just skimming, rarely commenting… before realising that ultimately, I wasn’t doing anything of use to improve my own blog. By commenting, you are.
The next time you aimlessly wander for hours through your favourite list of blogs, leave interesting, insightful comments on each of them, and bam – rather than wasting half a day doing jack all, you’re building links and traffic. By leaving links on blogs with dofollow, you are building PRed links back to your own website – they help, in the long run as you’ll gain higher Pagerank and then be able to use that to increase your bank balance (*cough*sknil lles*cough*) 
.
Seriously… you’ve taken the time to read the post, right till the bottom… why not comment? By commenting, you’re not only helping yourself (see the high PR links above, and you will also have some clicks sent your way if your comments are interesting/controversial) but also contributing to the blogger by helping him build discussion – s/he sees you comment enough, I guarantee you that they’ll take a look at your website (I visit the websites of all those that comment on TUK, even if they are irrelevant/unrelated… I’ve found some very interesting setups 
), and maybe even become regular visitors/commenters – I cannot count how many people that have visited TUK, told me that they were pleasantly surprised by what they saw and that they had subscribed to the RSS feed – all in exchange for a couple of lines I left on their blogs.
Do I comment on every post I read?
No, of course not. Although I don’t spend my day reading blogs anymore, I do check a few (hundred) of the blogs I like – quite a few of them when I’m just relaxing and don’t have the energy to think of something intelligent (my view is that if you cannot leave something intelligent, do not leave something at all, unless you’re joking around of course)… I also re-visit quite a few blogs not to check up on their new posts, but on their old ones that I found interesting – just to check for updates. I have however left a few comments during the past week, some of which that were left on blogs that I’d never seen before… and the stats definitely have increased (not just unique visitors, but time spent on websites).
Do you want to know the key to commenting?
Don’t hit the A-Lister blogs. The problem is, there are thousands of people looking to spam the A-Lister blogs just for backlinks, so your posts will go unnoticed – sometimes even by the person that runs the blog themselves.
Hit bloggers that are similarly established, or slightly worse/better off – it is they that you can best network with.
I will give you a real-life example – Christine Senter. A couple of weeks ago, I had no idea who she was, and I’m pretty sure she knew jack all about TUK – a few comment exchanges later, and I’ve added her to my list of blogs to check up every so often and I’d hope she’s done the same. Another example – Blogger Noob. Actually, I’d known about his blog a long time ago, but never really taken an active interest in it – these days, I comment on a few of his posts when I have time and he reciprocates in kind.
The future of blogging are the little guys. Not the A-listers. It is the people that are plugging away today, not with the thousands of readers – they are the ones that will be big in a few months, a year even… and if you get in early, you can make sure you make the best out of your relationship with them before it is too late.
By the way, TUK uses dofollow, and you’ll gain nice PR3 backlinks by commenting. Also, with the title of the blog post, how can you not comment?

I do agree though that the future of blogging will be in forming small social groups around some niche, not gigantic sites. People tend to feel part of a small communities and participate more. When they become just one person in thousands visiting a blog, they may not participate as much, or post comments that carry much original thought and insight.

Wow fantastic post! That is Exactly what I do, I read plenty of posts all the way through, and yet don’t comment all that much. No idea why, I guess I just felt that unless I had something important to add, there was no point in commenting.
But really, I know on my own blog I love any comments really, and I’m sure other bloggers feel the same way. I’ll definitely make it a rule now that whenever read a post in it’s entirety, I will comment.
Keep up the good work Jason, thanks for the great lesson

Hey Jason,
That is so cool. Thank you for the mention. I feel so special.
As for commenting, I usually try to leave a comment on posts I find interesting, fun, or informative. That being said, there have been a lot of times that I didn’t leave a comment simply because I didn’t feel I had the knowledge or the talent to join in the conversation.
However, there is more to leaving a comment than just looking for PR, backlinks, trackbacks, and all that. You just might make a friend.
Thanks again, hon

*I don’t know enough about the niche topic to make a reply that sounds intelligible.
*There are already 232323232323232302930239203 replies saying exactly, give or take a few words, what I already would.

In all honesty, while I see your point, I have sometimes read through an article and thought nothing more than a simple “I agree!” So, instead of posting that and not really contributing anything, I simply move along. Two-word comments generally don’t move the discussions along, and actually can cause animosity between bloggers in some cases.
To your credit, you did mention to make your comment insightful/interesting, but if it doesn’t happen for you fast, move along instead of forcing it! You’ll get more done that way.

I don’t comment on every blog that I read. I read several hundred most days and over 100 of these are through my feedreader. Which means that a post needs to inspire something within me in order to get me to click through and make a comment.
I think that commenting because you feel you “have to” or in order to build back-links can backfire, especially if you can’t come up with something reasonable to say.
Yes, leaving comments is a good way to build relationships and get known but I would rather have a few genuine comments on my blog than a whole list who are leaving comments simply for their own benefit.

While some of the points made in this post are valid, unfortunately it still fails. You are taking the assumption that all your readers have a blog and another one assuming they want to build that traffic or any number of the things you mentioned. Most people, may or may not just read blogs for information or entertainment, and therefore could care less about commenting or for that matter having a linkback. That alone is more than enough reason not to respond.

You are right! There aren’t many sights (unless boring) that I don’t comment.
And it is a problem that people don’t comment. My blog gets very few comments (not that I have many viewers), and as you said they will help improve your site. A lot of great sites I fell upon were because they left a comment. The only thing I did not know was that a little blogger (such as I am) will be fairly popular after a while. But I do know that developing relationships with a blog is very useful (as tech-buzz.net has been to me). And thanks for the great post!

As a rule I try to comment as much as possible. It all depends on where I am reading from. Sometimes I have access to a feed reader but not websites due to company restrictions.
I also scan a number of blogs to just keep on top of industry news and developments. There are a core number of blogs I do regularly comment on though. No point just saying “good post” though.

I don’t think too many bloggers or fellow commenters would flame you because they didn’t find your comment useful…

Woo, replies!
Will try and reply to most/all of them, not as in depth as some of the above though
@ Agent, agreed… commenting helps network, which is always important.
@ Monty, no point unless you get in real quick (like the top ten comments as mentioned somewhere above, and even then they’re mostly by people that say “yay, first comment!” etc)
@ Tim, perhaps… the key to keeping the feel of the small community when your blog gets bigger is posting more times (per day) and trying to reply to comments when you have time – that is what I will be doing
ifwhen TUK reaches millions of viewers per year@ Tim#2 (looks like you guys posted together
) my main point is… when you bounce from blog to blog, taking the time to read posts – why not comment? It takes thirty seconds extra and depending how it goes will send you some traffic (at the very least you get a link).
@ George, there was a tool that lets you check – I think some of them are PR2, some PR1 – maybe a couple PR3. Not sure, you have to check for yourself
@ Christine – you don’t think you have the knowledge/talent? That is a copout and you know it
If you cannot contribute to the discussion, perhaps not commenting would be in order – however, that’s why I mentioned hitting up the smaller – medium blogs, ones which are just starting out, with few comments on posts. Ones that bloggers will extremely appreciate you leaving a comment (like I do, for example) and will check out your blog… maybe even replying in kind.
@ Will Haynes, woo! You get the TUK stamp of approval
@ Andrea, I will be releasing a class called Title-bait 101 soon
@ Phil, take no note of the title, as I wasn’t serious (something I’d hope people will have realised
Glad you follow the blog
@ Elf Fu, sure, sometimes you just don’t have to comment – however, usually you can add something to the discussion. There were blogs, that I used to read regularly but never once left a comment on them – just leaving the first comment (I like your stuff, keep plugging away as I’m a repeat visitor but this is my first time commenting etc) can be the start of a friendship online
@ Carl, no urgency… I do things slow
@ Genkisan, the negatives of feed readers, heh. To be honest, if you use Firefox it’s not that hard – stop being lazy
@ Tee, you generally will have some opinion on the topic you read, especially if it’s in the same niche. No blogger is perfect all the time, so you should have something to say, if not – sure, move on
@ Jim, glad you liked the read
@ LB, for me – if people are reading the whole post, they are taking an interest in you. So why not take thirty seconds extra to leave a comment and sure, building links/traffic is important… but networking even more so, and one comment can start all of that off
As for having nothing to say, a friend of mine used to say “If you have nothing to say, say nothing” – that phrase is pretty apt, I think. However, these cases should be rare
@ Dwayne, it is early and I’m going out… thirty seconds ago (I’m late!
) but I will certainly reciprocate your comment in kind soon enough 
@ Steven, I’d say more than 50% of my readers have a blog. And even if they don’t, they can use commenting to network with the blogger – it doesn’t hurt, and a friend you make today may be a millionaire tomorrow
@ Nathaniel, glad you like the post. Hope you’ve printed it out and stuck it to your bedroom wall, heh
@ Tom, what you do sounds fine to me. I will admit – I read a few of the “big name” blogs but rarely comment, as it is not helping me – and they have enough help already
@ EGK, I do try, although I’ve been a bit busy in the past few days. As for the flaming, it depends… if you go to thousands of blogs saying “Good post, I like”, and people notice, you’re going to get flamed… if you leave comments that are the opposite, don’t see why you would
@ Colin, no you don’t!
[Reply]
March 31st, 2008 at 5:23 am
Reading and not commenting is not a waste of time. I read blog posts (and books and magazines) to learn from the articles. For example, I read TUK to seek inspiration from someone who is obviously doing somewhat well at a young age and who is not spitting out regurgitated content. I do not necessarily read to contribute or to network. If my goal of reading blogs was only to be social, it would be tons faster to go hang out at my local movie theater or a club.

We have more time to leave comments to each other and, in the risk of sound like dating advice, the feeling is more mutual.

This is so true, when you read posts and leave a comment it is so much easier to build your traffic. It’s free, it’s something you would probably do anyway, and it helps you think about the topic some more. Having a focus is important to learning from what you read anyway. If you plan to leave a comment, your subconscious pays more attention to the important points of the article — it wouldn’t do to sound clueless in your comment, would it?
Also, ignoring the A-listers is something I relate to. You can post on them, and sometimes get traffic. But every small blog you hit is going to give you one guaranteed hit — the blog owner. You also build community faster since it’s a personal connection.

@ Matt, you’re one of a kind – there’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing, but I’d say that most people wouldn’t mind one more contact, or one more link back (more important if their own site is relevant, of course).
As for being social, I do that in my spare time – however, the friends I have offline have no idea what Internet business is. By networking, I meant with similar minded people with regards to online biz. Thanks for adding some constructive debate to the discussion
@ Mike, from what I can see this post is hardly a madhouse. If everyone comments intelligently/without their main purpose solely to spam links, then you build a valuable community that can interact with each other, and you guys can network amongst each other – there’s nothing stopping you from visiting the guy who commented below/above you’s website and checking it out
@ Meethere/ChiQ, glad you liked the post
@ Sammy, LOL. Did I mention that you had to take my acclaimed life appreciation course, which costs $15,000/month to further increase your chances of not failing?
@ Chenzen, enjoy the insurance. Pretty cheap this time, as insurance is normally damned expensive
@ Sven, I’ve replied to all commenters as best as I could. My point is that if you have already read the full post (at least a couple minutes), why not take thirty seconds more and build backlink/traffic + network.
As for the beer, fly over to Dubai and I’ll buy you ten.

Oh yes, that is true. not commenting to blogs that you usually read is nonsense. The Internet was developed so that the world becomes a smaller place–and that includes cheap and easy intercontinental conversation.
If no one would comment, then the Internet would just be like some gigantic bulletin board or newspaper or anything like that.

Good headline – irresistible even in Problogger’s list of top headlines it really stuck out a mile! Guilty as charged, but will make an effort from now on!

I agree dude. I plan on starting to comment a lot more on other blogs, I feel the same way about commenting on other blogs creating buzz for your own blog.

Just taking thirty seconds to have a successful life. As others pointed out, I love comments too, but I hardly ever leave them. That gives me a sort of new perspective, and I think I’ll start commenting a lot more. Thanks for this inspiration.

I’m a first timer at your website, and thanks for this article.
I started blogging with the mere intention of just polishing my writing, and publishing it on the web. I wanted to just get type my thoughts out and fling it into cyberspace. But for a time there, I got blinded by all the make-money-online schemes that I forgot why I started blogging in the first place.
And you’re right. Sometimes the blogging communities are a great place for so many “friends”, but very rarely do they actually leave well-thought out comments on what you actually wrote. I’d rather have little traffic but good and insightful comments by people who actually read my blog.

I have been doing exactly this on many other blogs. Looking for blogs in my niche that are just a bit ahead of me and commenting them. For example if you get around 1,000 visitors per day then I will definately comment you to get some traffic. I have only about 50 visitors per day at the moment, but I am trying my hardest to improve
