GUEST POST:WHY YOU DON'T GET COMMENTS ON YOUR BLOG
All
bloggers would agree with me that it gets really frustrating when you
stay up for hours writing on an article which you believe would get the
attention of people but end up getting no comments,you feel really
frustrated and feel like you've wasted your time.worse still is when you
get a huge page-view from that particular post,but NO comment!
When i logged into someone's account who I was helping to customize
his mobile template,I noticed he had been blogging for close to a year
without a single comment...strange right?? Anyway, i decided to analyze
the possible reasons for that and i got them and solved them instantly
and now he gets comments daily..
In this post,Ill be giving you possible reasons for low or no comments on your blog so read on...
THE REASONS WHY YOU DON'T GET COMMENTS
1)ENABLEMENT OF WORD VERIFICATION:
Word verification is the feature on most websites that makes commenters
verify words before posting to avoid all sorts of malwares,spywares and
spam comments...The most popular plug-in is Re-capcha which bring out
boxes and images to verify and blogger uses word verification method.
Word verification sometimes become very annoying when trying to verify comments especially when using some specific browsers.
HOW TO DISABLE WORD VERIFICATION ON BLOGGER
1. Click on 'settings' on the left hand bar of the specific blog,when clicked,you see a drop down menu
2.click on 'posts and comments' scroll down and set word verification to 'NO'
3.Save your settings.
2)COMMENT MODERATION:Comment Moderation is the feature that lets comments be published ONLY if approved by the blog administrators(Admins or authors)therefore reducing spam comments.
The real catch here is that if you forget or do not approve the comments,you would Never have published comments on your Blog..
The main Benefit is that word moderation allows all comments to be posted including anonymous
and the likes without the worries of Re-capcha boxes.since Google made
it known that word verifications may still apply even after setting it
to 'NO' as explained above.
4)POST CONTENT:
People who read your posts and enjoy it,maybe finding it
interesting,funny explanatory and all would be compelled to post a
comment on their free will easily..So ask yourself these questions
a.Are my post contents rich in quality?
b.Are my post comments rich in quantity and Authenticity?
5)COMMENT BOX:
Most bloggers have complained to me about the disappearance of the
comment box in some browsers especially in mobile view,or the inability
of the comment box showing up after clicking the 'Post a comment'
button.
To fix this forever,there is an automatic comment box customization which shows the comment box even if you have no previous comment. Below is a screenshot of mine
