How to get people to comment on your blog

[dlandry]

I clicked on every link on the sidebar and can't find a blog. You need to catch the visitors attention the second they get to the sight because they don't want to look around trying to find something. They'll just exit and move on to the next one.

Try to make the blog a bit easier to find and easier to navigate around the site. Is there a way to get a menu bar so you can have them labeled. Maybe have one BLOG and another WORK AT HOME JOBS, etc...

if this comes out it's a screen shot from WOT which is a place that visitors can rate the sites trustworthiness. I have it on FireFox and when I go to your sight I get a red warning saying it's not reputable. When I clicked on information one person rated it, gave it a poor rating and said it was a scam site. Usually when I get the warning I exit without continuing to the site but since I know yours isn't a scam or at least I hope it's not I continued on.

I took a lot of your advice and deleted the banners and have my Welcome page about me so people can read my story and how my website came about. Wow I did not know my website was rated a scam and it is not one as you can see I wouldn't be on here trying to learn what I am doing wrong. But thank you so much for all your help! I notice the changes I made yesterday made my traffic jump and people staying on my website longer which is a plus so I am happy about that!

Hi how are you today?

I took a look at your blog & it's really nice, clean, simple & not cluttered which is good.
Getting more comments on your blog is not hard at all but you in order for you to get more comments you need to go to comluv.com register on the site & start submitting your content (blog posts, articles) on their site.

If you do this consistently then you won't have any problems with getting comments just make sure you leave comments on other people's posts as well, I'm sure they would also enjoy the support.

Let me know is this helps pls?

The reason you get comments on HubPages, but not on your own blog is that HubPages has a lot of traffic which your blog may not have. Not everybody leaves comments. Only a very low percentage of readers leave a comment. So you need to have a lot of traffic to get comments too.

Make your site seem personal---and you might start with a different domain name. Like others said, the name you have right now does come across as spammy. Earning free money doesn't really make sense--we generally don't "earn" something "free".

After that, I'd suggest creating a personality--be someone who others can connect with. Have opinions. Voice them. Don't try to make everyone happy. People love someone who stands up for something.

Those two tips ought to take you somewhere.

Oh...one more though. Reply personally to each comment people do make. Folks love that. Makes them feel like they have a personal connection with you.
