article on their blogs, I guess you would simply say their blogs are
popular. Well, whatever your answer to that might be, there are simple
rules they obey that turns in traffic and also compels readers to leave
reasonable comments on their blogs which you might have not known about.

leaving a comment on your blog and the basic things you need to do in order to gain huge exposure and
more comments to your blog post. These are quite easy lay down rules that if obeyed, you’ll be shocked at what result you will gain.
6 Reasons You Are Not Getting Comments On Your Articles
1. Low Traffic
For any blogger to succeed in the blogosphere today, the first thing
you need to work on is your blog’s traffic. How do you expect to gain
comments on your blog post when you have been writing and no one has
been reading, traffic is the starting point for any successful blogging
experience. First things first, you need to build traffic and exposure
to your blog, below are some links you can make use of in order to
increase traffic to your blog.
2. Low Quality Blog Post Content
Content is King! That’s one phrase you should always bear in mind
about blogging. If someone visits your blog and find low quality or even
scrapped content, he/she would immediately click on the red X icon just
to close your Tab. but if you can put in more efforts in the quality of
your blog posts, even if this would affect your posting frequency, it
is better to have quality post than a quantity of low content post on
your blog. Here are some blog posts that might help you in making
quality articles on your blog.
3. You Never Asked For It
You probably would not get what you never asked for, and that’s for
sure. Let’s have it done or started this way. Put in your time and
effort into writing a quality blog post, and at the end, try to ask your
readers to make their inputs and contributions to the article. You
might get amazed at what result you can gain from this strategy. Give
this a try also.
4. Your Commenting System is too Complicated
One thing readers really hate is adding complications too your blog.
This can scare them away and never to return to your blog. Some bloggers
go as far as adding captchas, calculations, check boxes and more in one
comment form all in the name of fighting spam. Let me leak you one
secret, the simpler your comment box, the more likely you are to get
more comments to your articles. Try to simplify your comment form and
watch it’s effect on your blog.
5. You Don’t Reward Commentators
Everyone loves been rewarded and this is also applicable to your
readers. If there is a reward attached to people leaving comments on
your blog, then it would really encourage people to
commenting on your blog posts. Some of the rewards you can offer your readers can be
CommentLuv enabled comment forms,
Top Commentators Widget.
The CommetentLuv plugins adds a backlink to your commentators blog from
each comment they leave, you can set the links to nofollow or dofollow
if you wish. While the Top commentators widget places a link to the top
commentators blog of say a week in your sidebar or footer, depending on
where you place the widget. It can also be set to dofollow or nofollow.
Now, these rewards are really what everyone out there would want, and
this would compel them into commenting on your blog.
6. You Do Not Reply Comments
Conversations build up relationships. If someone leaves a comment on
your blog, and you do not reply, it is likely that the commentator would
no longer comment on your blog. Replying to comments is a nice way of
saying thank you to the commentator and also building relationships.
Thanks to some plugins such as
Send email only on Reply to My Comment, it send email notification to your commentators once you reply their comment, and this tends to build them as returning visitors to your blog.
