Before I talk about anything, sorry for the delay with the post. I have been learning about internet marketing and few other things these days and I will post articles on how to make money by various other ways other than blogging in the next couple of weeks.
- Emotional
- Negative
- Praising
These types of comments will get more views and also reads. Your comment will be read by many people. After all, that is our primary aim, to get our comments read. So read the post CAREFULLY first. Then choose which type of comment to post.
1. Emotional
When I say emotional, you don’t need to tell sad stories. Just tell your normal story or what you have experienced in your life. Don’t tell it just for the sake of getting your comment read. Tell it only if it has really happened to you. Emotional comments will also get you more targeted readers for your blog.

2. Negative
Don’t be afraid to disagree with the point the author makes. You have to tell your opinion in the comments. If I get a negative comment, I will be happier. The reason? Simple. When you have all your readers agreeing to your point, then you will never know that you are making a mistake at times. If I get a negative comment in my blog, I will take time to read the post in his/her (the commentator’s) point of view. If he is right, I will surely appreciate him and also make sure to visit his blog.
3. Praising
Many bloggers like praising comments. Limit the praising to certain level. You cannot tell something that really isn’t true. Just tell what the author deserves. If you think he deserves a 100% praising comment, post it without any further thinking. Praising comments will boost up the author and also will let him/her to visit your blog.
If you haven’t tried any of the above types of comments, I suggest you to use them wherever necessary and wherever possible. What type of comments do you post? Do you agree with me on this post?
Being an avid blog comment champion of the Ramkarthik school of commenting has earned me some street credit. I have not yet struck gold with comment traffic… I have made some good contacts though. I even provoked an online character attack with a negative comment.
I have found a commenting groove and never used the emotional commenting style. The best style for me is praising with adequate feedback.
Praising is something I am sick of, not on my own blog
but other blogs because I tend to look at them as spamming.
Another type of comment which I find very useful in getting attention is asking a question relevant to the blog post. Leaving something hanging in our comments will prompt for a respond by either the blogger or other commentators.
Probably quite wierd to post a comment after you blogged on that.
Still, pretty good post.
hmm, ill go negative, if only i had soemthing negative to say.
