Well Donna I can’t tweet this as I don’t use Twitter but I wanted to let you know I appreciate your post all the same. Blog comments have been the topic of conversation betwixt another friend and myself the past few days (real conversation, not comment conversation) since I have just changed my commenting system and I was thinking of writing a post something like this to encourage my “new” commenters (my old comments did not export very well) to do a little better than before. If I get around to do that in the next few days, I will likely link back to this post since you already did such a great job putting into words what I think!

Great tips Donna.

I actually use your first tip all the time. In some case, the bloggers name simply isn’t there, because they use “admin” or a nickname. But you can be sure that you can find it if you dig dipper. The about page is one place you may find it.

Using someone’s name ads a personal touch to your comment and just like in the real world, it makes the other person more interested in you and what you have to say.

Reading the post is a number one priority in my book.

If a commenter on one of my blogs leaves a comment that doesn’t relate to the actual post, then more often than not, it gets deleted.

I actually don’t have a comment filter because all of the filters reject legit comments too.

I actually wrote a post entitled: “The DoFollow Blog Commenting Primer” to try and help commenters.

I think it did help many of my visitors.

Thanks for the equivalent, Donna…:)

you are right. Many people do engage in building backlinks on blogs these days, thus leaving invalid comments. and i think this apply’s to me also. will try to post useful comments here onwards.

Exactly, and it sounds spammy too. I think we don’t have to impress nobody, but show a genuine, natural interest in the post or opinion. And come up with our 2-cents, perhaps, a different view, and expand the discussion.

I like the point about not over flattering. It is obvious that the point is just to get the link.
