“Folks sometimes prefer to reciprocate comments, like say if you left a sincere comment on a reciprocative blogger, they might probably return the favor”: I agree with what Deimos Tel`Arin wrote (the first comment of this post); the first thing on leaving a comment is: if u leave one, then u probably receive back another I feel fine when I see that someone has left me a comment on my blog: I become very curious and anxious to see what’s written in it.
Interacting with the community in fact is important.
I often leave a question to the comment I write, and sometimes I create a sort of friendly relationship with the blog owner.
However, I think that losing comments will not kill me

I do get a decent amount of comments asking for more information on the tips I post on my blog.Some say”Thank You” and so on…

I really get a great feeling when I see a comment on my blog….I simply feel excited and gifted!!
And I can’t agree more with you….that A-list blogs’ point is true.Most of the comments posted there wait for exposure and nothing else!!.

And yes,Deimos was right…you need to give a chance for your readers to add a comment…by avoiding too much description!.

Love this post.

My geekified post gets lesser comments than controversial posts.

Bad thing is that my blog’s title is Build that Geek.

Good posting.

I have a website rather than a blog and it doesn’t have the facility to leave comments.

When I submitted the site for reviews this was regularly slated yet I find amazing the number of blogs I might visit and see a comment page with no responses from the blog owner.

Almost like receiving comments is a form of ego massage and responding demonstrates weakness.

Alternatively you see comments from people who are clearly skim reading their numerous blog rolls and are making a tokenistic comment to ensure they are still in the clique.

I find more liberating the people who have the comments switched off. Here are my views, take them or leave them.

Besides which one could always email the author if you genuinely wanted to contact them.

Yea, I made a mistake. What I meant was a team of “commentators” commenting on each other

I always thought that “You comment, I follow” meant that the “nofollow” tag is removed from the comment section.

But I do agree that reciprocal comments can really do wonders.

I thought your point about elaborating too much was a very good one. Reading over my own blog I have quite a few posts that are disturbingly wordy and long It completely makes sense what you say. Bloggers should leave some room for question and mystery. It’s a great way to receive comments.
