I agree that commenting can be ‘pointless’ at times but I’ve only been blogging for 3 months, so I’m keen on getting feedback from readers to see if they are finding my tips useful. I’d also like to get to know my readers better and to get a few discussions, otherwise blogging can be a bit lonely at times.

I’m also a very helpful person, so I’d love it if any readers asked for my help.

Another is to write something contentious, say, “the iPhone is a piece of crap”. That ought to get a few responses.

However, as a fellow blog owner, although it\’s nice to get responses to your posts (provides validation that people think what you are writing is useful/interesting, or just that they are reading what you are writing), are comments really that important?

After all, as long as your traffic is increasing, who cares about comments? Believe me, they can be a double-edged sword when you consider how much time it can take to manage and answer them.

Hopefully, the comments will start to flood in now………..
