Hi, you may have noticed that I deleted your comments, this is because you did not adhere to my comment policy about using a name and not a keyword. I’ve even stipulated it in the comment form itself.

Unfortunately I’ve delinked your comment for the same reason. You can use a keyword because I use the keyword plugin but you still need to use your name as stipulated. As an example Name@Tent Rental would do fine.

I only post on blogs who comment back. I like the interaction. Of course a small part of my motivation is SEO, but isn’t everyone like that? However, I do not go to a blog that is not fun to read, and one that does not comment back.

I actually believe that the lack of commenting may hurt your success. The guys who have made it big have done so partly because there wasn’t much competition. It’s different today and so I believe we have to tackle the situation differently.

Commenting wouldn’t jeopardize blogging success really. It all depends on the extent you’re willing to interact given the circumstances (fame, time, goals).

I think you may have missed the point which was replying to readers comments could harm your success because you would spend less time on important things like making money.

Anyone who has something to say about pretty much anything is going to write an article on their blog here or there. Commenting is a way to explain how much you either like or dislike what another person had to say about a topic.

I don’t honestly see how commenting can hurt anyone. In fact, it truly helps in my opinion.

It helps you write, gain idea, interact with people, and more. Comments are good if you ask me.

Interesting article I must say. :)

Hey Dwippy, there’s a lot more chance of getting repeat visitors if you do reply to them.

I think what they’re saying in regards to harm related to commenting is that by initiating feedback you are denying yourself the time necessary to create more money producing content.

I think people who reply to to their commenters start to form more of a community assuming they have some repeat visitors.

I don’t think not replying will hurt your blogs reader numbers but I don’t feel that the readers will feel like they will be missed if they quit reading your blog if you do not respond occasionally.

I actually can Robert, considering the amount of posts that exist on the net it’s not unusual to miss one occasionally.

Using your own analogy where you are speaking to a bunch of people who were dying to interact with you, not giving them that interaction would be like turning your back and walking out of the room.
