Getting the first comment on your blog post is what’s required to get a conversion started and it will get you more traffic.

But it can be hard

If you don’t get that first comment in a reasonable time you will probably never get any comments at all. When a visitor reads an old post with no comments he is to be reluctant to be the first one to comment. It’s a bit like a shop that has no visitors. It’s hard work to get the first customer in the door but when you have people in the store that in itself will cause more people to come.

But that’s still not the real reason you want comments.

Comments counts as content for the search engines. The search engines sees a comment added to a page as if the page has been updated with more content ie it has higher value.

Constantly updated pages are going to get more frequent visits by the search engine spiders and are probably going to rank higher in the results. Even if a search engine actually can’t tell it sees new comments it does make sense. A page that is constantly getting more and more added information is relevant and probably up to date.

Btw, did you know that Google does have a human department helping with ranking web pages, its not all just done by computers?

Your signature on the comment

Adding relevant comments on relevant blogs is a source of traffic for you as well when you are allowed to leave your url. People are going to check out your comment and depending on how the blog is setup your link might even count as a backlink.

Yesterday I finished an update to the Site-Hype software that adds blog commenting. We are still giving away free site-hype accounts at our home page so give it a try if you haven’t signed up already. To use the blog commenting enter a user name on the socials page. The user name should be the one you are going to use when you are doing blog commenting for other users. Then when you submit the next time in the program make sure to check the “blog commenting box”
