Get Your Blog Lurkers to Comment

Comments are something I enjoy having and will always want more of them, it encourages me to post more frequently and makes my blog more active. In the past I have done a lot of things to increase the number of comments I get here and I am going to share one of them now. If you are one of those bloggers who gets less comments, try this out…

Back in May 2006, I used to get lesser comments when compared to today and so I had put up a post just to encourage lurkers to comment.

Tell me a bit about yourself- who you are, where you’re from, what you do, what you like the most and what you would like to see on this site. This can encourage me to also post more frequently

This will also help you to get to know some of the other lurkers and will even give you a few hits to your site if you have one

To my surprise, the trick worked – I succeeded in getting some of the lurkers to comment!

For those of you who do not know what a lurker is, let me help by saying that a lurker is a person who reads discussions on a blog or other interactive system like chat room or forum , but rarely participates by contributing their comments.

So if you are one of those bloggers who get less comments and believe that most of your readers are lurkers, try this idea out and see if it works for you. After you put up such a post on your blog, link it here via comments so that I and other readers here can see how well it worked for you. All the best!

By the way, if you are one of those lurkers, comment now!
