Comments are good. In my view, pingbacks are better - as it shows something I've said has stimulated another idea. I have to admit, I tend to stumble more than digg, but I comment more than I pingback.

Tucked away in our nike air max 2010 mens running shoes subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long nike air max 2010 trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out air max 2009 windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at nike red air max 2009 crossing, of cattle grazing on air max 95 black distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon nike air 95 row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling air max 90 hillsides, of city skylines and village halls. But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain blue air max 90 for women day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags nike air max 180 waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our black nike air max shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, bing the minutes for nike air max light shoes loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for womens nike air max station.Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one air max ltd classic place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of air max shoes store life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more nike air max white mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more women air max shoes sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come men air max shoes soon enough.

Chris,
One way I have seen Bloggers get more feedback (I agree with you that some of the best value in a post comes from comments) is to ask for it in the copy. Near or at the end of the post.

I know nothing about Twitter (I know, I gotta find out about it) but I am surprised that there is not some way if a person responds to you blog on Twitter that it does not automatically post as a response to your blog.

But as I write this I can see issues. But there has to be someone out there you can figure out a solution and allow those Twitter replies to appear.

By the way, check me out at www.gonzoblogging.com

An old school rule of thumb from broadcast states popularity is the inverse of unsolicited response. Happy viewers watch but don’t take the time to reach out and say “Thanks, love your show.” We witness this phenom when a show is canceled and the crowd of fans suddenly appear to protest. My thought is you are probably getting read by far more people than your stats suggest. Keep up the good work.

Bravos on another fine post. Count me among the guilty. You're in my reader, enjoy your posts but have never offered a comment until now.

Ha - as it happens I just posted about the same topic! http://www.diaryofareluctan...

Commenting is an integral part of joining the conversation, but the other side of the coins is that it's ok if you don't get too many comments on your own blog - you may have a more passive audience than others - but it doesn't mean they aren't there, reading your stuff!

I come from brazil and i read your blog by rss. Sometimes i want to comment but my english are too bad for to do it ;))
It´s very interesting today to read about statistics of "readers X comments", and realy I find that exists a virtual timidity ;))
in my blog the visitors do comments when the post is more about my work or my experience in fashion. Another my day brother sent me a link that I was stayed very impressed in 24 hours had more then 2000 comments in an ONLY post, is a Cuban blog that speaks about the difficulties that they should live in Cuba... well curious... http://desdecuba.com/genera...

Hi Chris,

I must be special, I made it into the 1%.

I find that I am more inclined to post comments on blogs where the blogger truly engages in conversations with their readers. I understand that some bloggers simply can't respond to everyone individually. With that said, I tend to prefer less popular blogs for that more personal attention. Compliments work both ways. Do what you can to thank your readers for participating, they will continue returning the favor.

I think Seth Godin knows he has a hit before he even hits publish (half-kidding). The effect of turning trackbacks off for Seth is that people link to his blog, email his post and otherwise share and discuss his material around the web. Before FriendFeed was Godin. Google alerts probably help him track his success too, if he's interested. His idea viruses probably get sneezed more rapidly this way--in the wild versus in his blog. Whether or not that's his intent, I don't know and can't say.

I'm not sure musicians always play for tips. Sometimes they just play for the music. Doesn't blogging work the same way? Commenting to? Sometimes a blog hits the right notes and people love to just sit back an listen as @Stephen Hopson said. Other times a blog hits other notes, or misses others, and that's when people want to play along.

Sorry for the mixed metaphors.

As for my blog, well it's only a few months young, and it's still tuning its fork. Comments would certainly help my tuning, but I know it can take 3-5 years to get that tune set down in the right key; and even then, I hope it's more like Jazz or Rock than Muzak.

Great post Chris,

My site has been up for close to nine months now and has been a great for me. I started the blog to keep people up to date with my thinking, and then *hopefully* write enough interesting stuff to have them comment back. I am really keen to build a bit more of a vocational community, and I saw the blog as a way to do that.

I agree with @stephen hopson - I find my posts have been a bit to constructed, and so don't leave enough room for people to comment back with thier own thoughts...but this in itself is great. It is helping teach me how to actually draw feedback and questions out from people regarding my thoughts and ideas.

If companies encourage employees to comment on things they are reading, the will end up creating a great deal more exposure. You'd think every organization would send out an email letting people know how and when to comment on blogger's blogs.

"I can live for two months on a good compliment." -- Mark Twain http://is.gd/T9N

Similarly, feedback gives me a reason to keep on writing and producing additional content.

I've noticed lately that it's easier for me to comment on other people's blogs than write posts myself. It's actually a great way to blog without blogging, ;).

I must agree that reader comments are very useful and rewarding. I have currently been blogging under Wolfstar, a social media and PR company I have been working for over the last couple of months. As someone fairly new to blogging it was very encouraging to see peoples comments and know that people are enjoying my work.
I plan to set up my own social media blog very soon (currently I am operating my personal blog which focuses on traveling). So I wanted to add that for people new to the blogoshpere commenting is useful not only for the blogger but also for the 'commentee' in terms of networking. I plan to comment on any blogs I find of interest to me to help establish myself and my blog - and after all the blogoshere is a place for conversation is it not?

Stefan Deak — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:15:07 -0000

I'd say blogging is pretty much about comments, not necessarily to make the blogger feel good, but to make the wheels spin even further so that an idea could be even more developed and conceptualised. After all its much about communication, no?

In such way I suppose that I side with Svetlana above (it would be great to be able to anchor link her comment in this case). Although I'd like to vouch for a good post I also would like to contribute to the idea myself. Else I could spare pixels, energy and readers time by simply reading.

I await the coming of "blogs 2.0" (with fangs) featuring enhanced possibilities to communicate and share ideas starting with a blog post; that the blog format itself would support the building of micro communities around one single topic. Perhaps that functionality is already out there and I havent seen it. If so perhaps someone could kindly point me in the right direction.

Btw I really enjoy you entries Chris.
