I have to say like many others getting comments is really hard and not everyone returns comments, I do my best to return comments to those who have left them. But make sure you keep up on that no matter how popular your site is do your best to return comments especially to the first time visitors.
Its those first time visitors you want to lure back!
I joined under Jenny’s constant nagging Despair.nu for a comment program, your website has to get approved then you put a code which not only promotes your site, technorati and potential pagerank you also are guaranteed comments, and visitors.
The best part is some of these new visitors I’ve gotten are coming back! It is a great program. I’ve signed up for it for 2 of my websites to see how well it does and so far so good! Try it out if you need people to comment to help boost a conversation in your comments section!
Despair pisses me off.

I love my commenters, but wow. I never knew this site existed and people were this desperate to get people to comment. Wow…amazing.
I agree though that keeping up with commenters is important to the growth of a community at your site.
April 18, 2007 @ 8:59 amI do love comments on my blog, especially those that enhance the value of my postings. I might sign up and give it a try, but if the comments I start getting amount to drivel I may just opt out.
April 18, 2007 @ 10:03 amThe ones I have received so far are really great actually.
April 18, 2007 @ 10:12 amThanks for visiting The BenSpark and leaving a comment.
April 18, 2007 @ 11:06 amSometimes you get the ones that leave shit comments. But some are good. I just hate getting assigned to a site that take a million years to load.
April 18, 2007 @ 11:59 amThats because they aren’t with E-Starr or Skye-Host :P

- See? Who wants that crap?
April 18, 2007 @ 1:22 pmRelevant comments only, dude.
I just signed up, thanks. Yes, I do love comments on my blog and I try to return them as much as I can. Same thing with mybloglog screen, if I can tell you’ve visited I do as well.
BTW-found you through the technorati train going around.
April 18, 2007 @ 1:54 pmI used to be on Despair, though I am coming here because you commented on my site. :) Thanks for the comment.
Many bloggers never visit new sites, that’s for sure. Take most of the prominent bloggers; they usually comment on sites that are already attracting a huge number of comments.
It’s good that you are promoting visiting sites that comment back and forth. I am going to add this site to my bookmarks list also. Hopefully I will be able to spam *cough cough*, I mean, comment, every now and then. :)
