Getting good comments on your blog is one of the hardest things in blogging.
You put in the time and effort to create great content, and then the comment section is silent. Isn’t that frustrating?
For bloggers, engagement is more than just a nice to have – it’s proof that your content is resonating and starting conversations.
You’re not alone if you’ve wondered why readers aren’t commenting on your post despite publishing very good articles. The truth is that it’s not always about the content itself.
Sometimes, it’s about how you encourage interaction and make readers feel part of the conversation.
Here’s how to get more comments on your blog and build a more loyal audience.
Whether you’re a new blogger or looking to revive a quiet comment section, you’ll find practical solutions to tackle this challenge head-on.
Ready to spark meaningful discussions on your blog? Let’s dive in.
What is Blog Comments?
Blog commenting is the practice of leaving thoughts, feedback, questions, or insights in the comments section of a blog post. It serves as a platform for readers to engage with the content and the author while fostering interaction among readers with similar interests.
Blog commenting is not limited to agreeing with the content; it can include constructive criticism, sharing personal experiences, or asking questions to spark further discussion.
Benefits of Blog Commenting
Blog commenting is more than just engaging with a post—it’s a strategic tool for growth, networking, and building a loyal audience.
It can bridge the gap between having a high-quality comments section with a small audience and building a massive loyal community of blog readers.
Here are the key benefits of blog commenting.
1. Encourages Reader Engagement
Blog commenting transforms a static article into an interactive dialogue. It allows readers to express their opinions, ask questions, or share their experiences on a particular subject.
This interaction fosters meaningful engagement and builds loyal readers, making them feel heard and appreciated. As engagement grows, your blog becomes a go-to platform for discussing your niche topics.
2. Improves Content Visibility
When readers leave comments, it signals search engines that your content is engaging and relevant.
Comments generate user-generated content, including additional keywords, phrases, and perspectives.
This enhances your SEO efforts and can improve your blog’s search rankings in SERP. An active comment section can also encourage other readers to join the conversation.
3. Drives Traffic
Thoughtful comments on other blogs, particularly those in your niche, can attract curious readers to your site. You can pique interest and encourage readers to visit your blog by providing valuable insights or solutions in your comments.
Be sure to engage authentically and add value—self-promotional comments can have the opposite effect.
Refrain from leaving one-liner spammy comments such as “awesome post,” “good post,” “helpful tips,” etc. Such a comment will only be in the spam folder, especially if the author has implemented comment moderation automation.
Leaving keyword-rich comments on a post is an industry tactic that increases search traffic, but be careful how you do this. Don’t spam other blogs with keywords in the comment form name or website text field; your comment will automatically be labeled spam.
4. Fosters Networking
Engaging in blog comments helps you connect with relevant bloggers, influencers, and professionals in your industry.
Thoughtful contributions to conversations can lead to collaborations, guest posting opportunities, or partnerships.
These connections expand your professional network and enhance your visibility within your niche.
5. Builds Authority
You establish yourself as knowledgeable and credible when you leave insightful, well-thought-out comments on reputable blogs.
Over time, readers and other bloggers begin to recognize your expertise. This can lead to invitations to guest post, speak at events, or collaborate on projects, further cementing your authority in the field.
6. Enhances Reader Loyalty
Actively responding to comments on your blog shows readers that you value their input. This personal interaction builds trust and encourages readers to return for more discussions.
A loyal audience is likelier to engage with future posts, share your content, and even recommend your blog to others. This has the potential to drive more blog traffic and increase conversion.
7. Generates Fresh Ideas
Comments often contain valuable feedback, questions, or unique perspectives you might not have considered.
These insights can spark ideas for future blog posts, allowing you to create content that directly addresses your audience’s concerns. This ensures that your blog remains relevant and continues to meet reader expectations.
8. Boosts Social Sharing
Blogs with active comment sections appear more dynamic and engaging, which can encourage readers to share your content on social media platforms.
The perception of value created by active discussions makes your blog more appealing, leading to increased reach and potential new readers discovering your content.
Blog commenting is a powerful tool that extends beyond engagement, offering benefits that can grow your blog’s reach, authority, and impact within your niche.
When readers leave comments, they open a dialogue, making them feel valued and heard. This interaction encourages them to return to your blog and participate further, creating a loyal audience that actively engages with your content.
Now, let’s walk through the 10 tips to get more comments on your post.
1. Provide Quality.
There is no shortcut to having readers write insightful comments on your articles if the post is not helpful and lacks valuable and practical insights. Quality in this term is not just to any content.
Certain types of content easily attract comments.
First, interesting posts that address real-life activities, day-to-day issues, and what marketers are passing through easily attract more awesome comments than the rest.
Published a quality, interesting post that talks about the challenges that other webmasters face. Something they can resonate with within their industry or real-life events.
The how-to articles, too, are suitable content types that easily attract thoughtful comments, especially if what you discuss in your how-to articles is what you’ve experienced, tested, and found to be working.
For example, how to get thousands of Facebook likes in less than 30 minutes.
Or how you get AdSense approval without a single post on your blog. You know this is a big issue among so many bloggers.
This informative article attracts targeted blog traffic and encourages readers to leave good comments that draw attention.
2. Your Headline.
Your headline is the first thing readers see and should grab their attention immediately.
A compelling headline can distinguish between a reader clicking on your post or scrolling past it. Use powerful words and phrases that evoke curiosity and interest.
The purpose of a clickable headline for a post can never be over-emphasized.
The image below shows an instance where an article headline increased blog traffic and compelled readers to leave comments on the post.
If the content headline does not trigger or arouse readers’ curiosity, the post’s body cannot exist. And if the body does not exist, having comments becomes a delusion.
Create attractive headlines for your post. This will increase the traffic rate to your quality content.
And remember, only about 1 to 3% of those who read your post will likely post a comment.
The rest, 97%, would just read and pass away without leaving a comment.
So, if only a few people, 1 to 3%, of those who read a post comment on it, then it is obvious why you’ll need to increase…
3. Traffic Volume.
Yes, and that’s just it!
Just as your offer’s quality and traffic volume are proportional to your sales and conversion, so are comments on your posts.
Do a little mathematics here; if 100 people read your post and you have 2% leave comments on the post… that gives us just two comments.
But if 1000 people read the same post and 2% leave comments on it, we will have 20 comments.
This is just one of the many reasons marketing is more essential to the overall success of your blog than publishing content. Many people, including me, believe in the 80/20 rule.
Promote your quality content, and promote it everywhere until no more marketing channels are available within your reach.
4. Optimizing Your Blog for Comments
Optimizing your blog for comments fosters engagement and builds a vibrant community. A key step is to use a user-friendly commenting system that readers can easily navigate.
Popular options like Disqus or native WordPress comments are straightforward and intuitive, encouraging more readers to participate in discussions.
It’s also important to ensure the visibility and accessibility of your comment section.
Readers who struggle to find it are less likely to leave comments. Ensure the comment section is prominently displayed and easily accessible on your blog posts.
Another effective strategy is enabling comment subscriptions. By allowing readers to subscribe to comment threads, they can receive notifications when someone responds to their comments, fostering ongoing conversations and deeper engagement.
To maintain the quality of your comment section, implement a spam filter to block unwanted or irrelevant comments, such as “thanks for sharing”, “good article”, “great tips”, “good post”, “awesome post”, etc.
These one-liner comments are off-topic, spammy comments and discourage other readers from leaving comments.
Tools like Akismet effectively keep your comment section clean and focused on genuine interactions.
Additionally, consider introducing a spam comment moderation system to ensure that discussions remain relevant and respectful. This helps cultivate a positive and constructive environment for readers to share their thoughts.
5. Blog Syndication Feeds.
Content syndication sites are a powerful tool for increasing visibility and driving engagement on your blog.
They work by distributing your blog content to a wider audience across multiple platforms, increasing the chances of your posts being discovered by readers who are genuinely interested in your niche. This heightened visibility can play a significant role in boosting blog commenting.
First, syndication feeds ensure that your blog posts reach audiences beyond your direct website visitors. When your content appears on aggregator platforms or syndicated blogs, it attracts new readers who might not have found your site otherwise.
These fresh eyes on your content can translate to new comments as readers share their perspectives, ask questions, or engage in discussions.
Second, syndication feeds can help establish you as a thought leader within your niche. Regularly appearing on high-quality platforms increases your credibility and encourages readers to engage with your content.
When readers see your blog as a reliable source of information, they are more likely to leave meaningful comments to seek insights or share their views.
Syndication feeds often provide backlinks to your original blog post.
These backlinks drive traffic directly to your site, where readers can explore your content in-depth and participate in discussions. This continuous flow of new visitors ensures a steady engagement stream in your comment section.
Lastly, syndication feeds enable cross-platform discussions. Readers may initially encounter your content on a syndicated platform but choose to visit your site for further interaction.
This interplay between platforms creates opportunities for comments on your blog as readers engage more deeply with your content.
6. Be A Good Commenter
Blog commenting is an integral part of blog marketing. And when it comes to blog marketing, you get what you pay for.
The result of any marketing activities is proportional to the time, energy, and resources you put into making them work.
So, if you want good quality constructive comments on your post, go all out and leave such comments on someone else’s blog posts, too.
Harleen of Aha-Now is a good example of a marketer who leaves long comments that are insightful and consistent. She has built a name for herself as one of the thought leaders in the lifestyle industry by regularly leaving great comments on other marketers’ blogs.
7. Reply to Every comment.
Does this sound strange?
No, I don’t think so.
Make it a habit to reply to every comment on your post, even if you have a different opinion from the reader. Notably, readers who read and understand your point have taken the pain to leave great comments on the post.
By doing this, you demonstrate that you care about them and, most importantly, build a sense of community around your blog.
However, when comments increase, replying to every comment may become difficult or unnecessary.
But if you’re still struggling to get good engagement on your blog, try responding to the messages left by readers.
This also helps to increase the comment count.
Your reply to each comment adds to the numbers, which helps show first-time visitors that you care about your blog and its readers.
8. Make it Convenient to Leave Comments.
A complicated commenting system can discourage genuine readers from engaging. Avoid unnecessary barriers like hard-to-read CAPTCHAs or account registrations. If your CAPTCHA causes issues, consider removing it.
Instead, manage spam by placing all comments in a moderation queue. This approach allows you to filter out spam while ensuring quality discussions. Though time-consuming, moderation is more effective than relying solely on CAPTCHAs, which spammers often bypass.
To further enhance engagement, encourage conversations among commenters. If you’re using WordPress, install a comment notification plugin that allows readers to follow discussions.
This feature lets commenters receive updates about replies to their comments or the entire thread, keeping them involved.
You’ll foster a vibrant community and meaningful discussions on your blog by creating a hassle-free, interactive blog commenting experience.
9. Building a Blog Community
Building a reader’s community fosters engagement and encourages readers to leave comments. Start by creating valuable, relatable, and discussion-worthy content that resonates with your audience.
Write in a conversational tone and include questions at the end of posts to invite opinions.
Leverage social media to interact with your readers. Share blog posts, respond to comments, and participate in relevant groups to establish a connection. Hosting live Q&A sessions or webinars can also deepen relationships.
Encourage loyalty by offering incentives like exclusive content or shoutouts for frequent commenters. Show appreciation by responding to comments promptly and thoughtfully, making readers feel valued.
10. Comment Notification Reply.
This is one very powerful way to get the conversation going.
It helps a lot to bring other commenters on the same post together.
If you’re on WordPress, install the comment notification plugin and give commenters the option to either follow or reply to their comment alone or that of others on the same post.
Measuring the Success of Your Commenting Strategy
Measuring the success of your commenting strategy is essential to understanding what’s working and what’s not.
You should adopt an approach that lets you track, analyze, and discover what works to double down on it.
Here are some metrics to track:
FAQ About Blog Comment
Should I Allow Comments on My Blog?

Does Blog Comment Help for SEO?

If you follow the blog comment techniques mentioned in this post, you will experience dramatic changes in your blog engagements.
Hello; some very good points in there. I agree with you about comment love and the value of laving good comments. I’m disappointed to hear I didn’t make the list of top commenters. grin I’ll have to work on that. My comments are often memorable either because of their quality or because I happen to be one of the few blind bloggers active in the community. I’m modest too. Thanks to the members of the bloggers helping bloggers group on linked in I am routinely receiving 20 or more comments on my posts. and my current one has gotten 25. a big deal as you say when compared to 1 5 or 10 a post. thanks again for sharing and take care, Max
Thanks Max,
My comments are often memorable either because of their quality or because I happen to be one of the few “blind bloggers” active in the community
No, Max, this is not true about you; not because you happen to be a partially blind person….but your comments are just full of quality, I mean something that adds more value to the original post itself. Sometimes I got to learn a few things in your reply that I hadn’t taught about when writing the post.
Yes, you’re right about Bloggers Helping Blogger group on LinkedIn, they’re really an awesome people to associate with. I would say they amount to about 40% of comments on my blog. Thanks for coming, Max, and soon will get in touch with you.
Lots of tasks at hand at the moment.
Hi Shamsudeen,
This is another powerful post. Its in-depth and guides bloggers on how to provide a piece that would be worth commenting on.
Quality trumps all other factors and it is important to provide this consistently.
By quality I mean a post that provides value and makes the reader willing to action.
I have left the above comment in kingged.com where this post was shared and kingged for Internet marketers.
Sunday – kingged.com contributor
Thanks Sunday,
You’re right about quality being ahead of any other factors known to increase engagements on blogs.
There is no short cut to success when it comes to internet marketing; you just have to provide quality in anything you do here, otherwise, you might just be wasting your time or thinking internet marketing is just a scam.
I decide to write about this topic after seeing how I have moved from “no comment” on any of my blog post to what it used to be these days; and couldn’t have achieved that without the support of good avenue like kingged and my good friends on the internet – Joseph, Sam Adeyinka, Babanature, Andrew, Susan Copper, Max, Ryan, Nate, Arun, Nosa, etc, and a host of others time and space couldn’t permit me to mention here.
It feels so good when you hit the published button and within few minutes, someone just says “hello, are you there”, this gives the authors some sense of confidence that you’re doing something at least “good”.
Thanks for coming Sunday, and once again, I do appreciate the amazing energy you put into making this place a better place to be.
*Note* I have also left you the same comment on kingged, the blog syndication feed where you have found this post.
Great points. I have only commented on a comment in my blog if they needed an answer. What a great idea to start a conversation. Thank you.
Thanks Michelle,
That’s way cool too, but we can always take it to the next level if we want more of it. Thanks for coming, Michelle.
These tips are wonderful! Definitely some very helpful information! Thanks so much for sharing this, I will be using some of this tips very soon!
this is very good information. I agree with everything that you said here. I actually was thinking the same thing about how hard it is to leave comments on some peoples site which is a complete turn off.
Hi Shamsudeen. Interesting look at comments. I agree that dialogue is the real goal and feel it is important to add constructive comments rather than just mark the fact that one has visited. Also I believe every comment should be answered even if it just a simple thanks for the interest but preferably a response to what was said or a clarification of the original post intent. Several times reader comments have provided clues that the post was not as clear as I might have wished and I have done small edits as a result.
Thanks Paul,
I would like to first comment on your last point;
Several times reader comments have provided clues that the post was not as clear as I might have wished and I have done small edits as a result.
Yes, many times I have come across a situation where a reader misunderstood my point or arguments in the post; this happen in one of my recent post titled “5 Blogging Myths you’ll need to debunk”, I had to use the comment section to make things clearer than I did in the post.
Though I do understand that when comment became many, it may be somehow difficult to respond to all, but as you said, the dialogue is important and not just for the sake of replying to comment, but to add more in-depth or values to it.
Thank you, Paul, and do have a wonderful day ahead.
All of these are really great points. I do most if not all of them right now. That wasn’t so in the beginning of my blogging career. I had to learn as everyone does how it works and why. I am forwarding this to a few newbies who are trying the figure this all out. 🙂 I know they will learn much from this. Thank you.
Thanks Susan, and words can’t described how grateful I am. Thanks for sharing this post with your community, am very grateful.
Like you, almost every single point on this list I don’t do also when getting started with blogging, but as times went by and knowledge about blogging increases, then I started doing some stuff that put my blog on the right course.
Maybe a reason I wrote this post, to share my experiences with the reader’s community.
Thanks again, and many thanks for keeping BHB a better place to be for every content marketer.
Shamsudeen, excellent post! Being a helpful commentor does wonders for getting more comments. The thoughts I share on Kingged and on other authority blogs like yours generate real interest, and help me score comments on my Cash With a True Conscience ?
So important to live by the Golden Rule: give, receive.
Tweeted and Stumbled!
Hi Ryan,
You’re such a person I looked up to in this regard – blog commenting is great for blog marketing, but it takes also greater efforts on the part of the blogger to really get the best out of it; and exactly what you’re doing. Sometimes when I get on kingged and see your stats for the day, I freeze at what I saw.
I think there is plenty of energy inside you, and great wisdom to always leave those remarkable comments anywhere you comment. Thanks for coming and sharing your experience with my community.
And before I forget, many thanks for the tweet and stumble. Thanks again Ryan, am very grateful.
There is no better way to attract quality comments than publishing only quality articles on your blog. People will be naturally drawn to leaving worthy comments either in appreciation of the a nice article they just read or make contributions.
Thanks Desmond,
But I still think we need to do more than publishing quality content if we really want those super bowl engagements on our blog – publishing quality content to attract engagement is just half the battle; the other half remain in getting involved yourself – lots of marketing strategies.
For a long period, I rely mostly on trying to published quality information on my blog and thinking people will be attracted to it just like that, but this never happens.
Not until I learn to work on my blog less, and promote it outside of it massively…everything about my little blog was crawling like snail.
Is like putting up an email subscription form on your blog, and thinking people will just opt-in like that; though few people will, I bet you a good number of prospect will only opt-in if there are some stuff to gain immediately they join.
Thanks Desmond, you’ve been such a nice person and thank you for adding to this another perspective.
Great tips everyone wants people to read and provide feedback. Capturing the audience line you have here is key. Thanks for sharing these useful tips.
Thanks Carolyn, and welcome to my blog. Hope you do enjoy your stay.
You have some valid points and I agree with one of them the most. I never understood why some people make it so hard to leave a comment. There have been a few times where I got fed up because of all the security checks and clicks of this and that to the point where i eventually just gave up and left without commenting.
Thanks Jay,
And that’s just so funny; well, some claim all these security checks are for spammers. But like they said in my native language; “If you close your eyes just because you don’t want to see the bad guy, you won’t know when the good guy will pass you by”.
So, if we really want engagements on our blog, then keep it open and convenient for people to leave a comment on your blog.
Thanks for coming, Jay, good to see you here again.
Thanks for your advise. A few of these things I already do, and after reading this, I’ve just installed comment reply on my blog, and I am going to look into Commentluv.
Thanks Grace,
I feel so happy that you’ve installed a comment reply notification just after reading this post; and thanks again for reading through. Commentluv is your sure bet, you’ll be happy to have it installed on your blog.
Thanks for coming, and do have a nice time reading my blog.
Hey Shamsudeen Adeshokan ,
Comments are very important for bloggers, Commenting will improve our blog audience. Replying each and every comments is good for understanding our audience or other bloggers what they thinking..
After Reading this article even I also installed comment reply notification plugin on my blog. Thanks for sharing this lovely article with us… 🙂 🙂 .
Hi Parthiban,
Thanks for reading through and am so glad to read after you go through this post, you have installed the comment reply notification plugin.
Thanks for reading and I hope to see you here some other time.
The first thing to do is to be active in your own blog. Make sure your content has a voice that encourages readers to leave their opinion in your comment box. Throw questions that are interesting and intriguing. Well, take a stand, don’t be boring, for the reason that boring content will always get zero comments. Moreover, yes, quality is important. No hesitation to that.
I found this post shared on Kingged.com, the Internet marketing social site, and I “kingged” it and left this comment.
Thanks, Metz,
In fact, without been active on your blog, there is just no way every other factor I had mention will come alive. And like you said, having your voice is highly important, let people know who you’re and the tone at which you communicate.
I have also found out that asking a question at the end of your post works well, but I decide not to include it in this list. Thanks, Metz for coming and do have a day.
Great points to grow blog comments. I concur with your approach to blog comments with a view to building and growing your audience.
It seems though, that there is a lot of confusion around blog comments as a strategy to build and grow an audience, as opposed to a tactic that a lot of people seem to engage in.
Hi Vinay,
Most of my points listed above are meant to improve or get more engagements on blogs, but like you rightly suggested, most bloggers have misunderstood the real benefits and purpose of blog commenting.
In fact, I wrote a guest article on bizsuccessguide.com why I don’t believe regular blog commenting will ever build a successful blogging career. I don’t know if you have been opportune to read that post?
Thanks for coming, Vinay, good to see you here and do have a lovely time.
Hello
I have learned a lot from this post as I recently started writing and it will be great help if you can also tell how to install comment luv plugin and first time I heard about kingged , I will try to sign up on that…
I also struggle for selection of topic ( heading) I hope some day I will come across some blog to give some tips about the topic…
Sometimes I try to comment on some post and I get error notifications many times… I really feel sad
Thank you for a nice post.
Hi Andleeb,
First, I want to welcome you to my blog; and like you said in your comment,
Sometimes I try to comment on some post and I get error notifications many times… I really feel sad
And you’ve already done that here too, three times you’ve left comments on this very post, two of it were just identical and the other one was a bit different. I had to approve only this one.
I visited your blog and would say, keep it up. But there is plenty ahead of you, and if you play around here well enough, you’ll surely find good resource materials that teach how to write articles headline that readers can’t ignore.
Keep working at it, and I hope you discover your voice in a quick time. Thanks for coming and do have a nice day.
Hello Again
Yes I have mentioned before …. twice I tried from my mobile I tried once it gave me error then I went back and tried again and it was again unsuccessful …..
Then I tried from my laptop … so the third comment was different
Thank you for replying.
You’re welcome Andleeb. But I think the error comes from your mobile phone, cause no one has report such an incident. Do have a nice day.
This is a great guide on how to get more comments on your blog posts! I love how you’ve provided specific and actionable steps for bloggers to follow. It’s interesting to hear about Copy Blogger shutting down their comments section, but I agree with you that it’s not something that most bloggers should do. I especially like your emphasis on providing quality content, creating catchy headlines, and engaging with other bloggers through commenting. I will definitely be implementing some of these strategies on my own blog. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Sophia,
Thanks for your thoughtful comments, glad you liked the content.
Fantastic tips! Engaging with your readers is crucial, and these strategies are like a roadmap to foster meaningful discussions on blog posts. Thanks for sharing these insights on boosting comments
Hi, John,
Glad you like the tips.
I’ve also found that being an active commenter on other blogs has not only expanded my network but has increased engagement on my own blog. It’s a win-win strategy, and the relationships you build with fellow bloggers are invaluable.
Hi, Daisy,
Yes, that works, too. When you help others, you received in returns. Thanks for sharing your voice.
Hi Adeshokan Shamsudeen . Observe the remarks with interest. I concur that having a conversation is the true objective and think it’s vital to contribute insightful remarks as opposed to only logging in. Additionally, I think every comment deserves an answer, even if it’s simply to say thanks for your attention. Ideally, though, responses to comments should be given, as well as an explanation of the original post’s purpose. I have made minor modifications as a result of reader comments on multiple occasions pointing out that the post was not as clear as I would have liked.
Hi, Samay,
Thanks for your insightful contribution to make this post more valuable. I appreciate your time here, and looking forward to seeing you more often.
Blog comments are a great way of gaining audience attraction and contribution which also helps in gaining audience engagement and sometimes act as a positive signal to google.
Hi, Abhilash,
Thanks for your contribution, Glad you find the content helpful.
Thanks for the article! Will apply these tips for more comments on my blogs.
Hi Shamsudeen,
I found your perspective on comments quite insightful. I agree that fostering dialogue should be the main objective, and it’s crucial to leave constructive comments rather than just signaling your presence. I also believe that every comment deserves a response, even if it’s just a simple thank you for showing interest. Ideally, though, the reply should address the content of the comment or clarify the original post’s intent. On several occasions, readers’ comments have pointed out areas where my post might not have been as clear as I intended, leading me to make small edits in response.
Hi, Aminul,
