Draw Inspiration From Your Commenters
People LOVE lists! Blog articles that are lists tend to get Stumbled and Dugg. They tend to get a lot of backlinks. Bloggers start discussions about them on their own blogs.
Another thing I’ve noticed about lists is this: Commenters will comment about what they think should be added to the list. One thing that you can do to encourage your readers to comment on your blog, is to include some of their comments in your lists. When you do this you should link them up, by that I mean that your should backlink to their blog. They were nice enough to take the time to comment, so if their comment warrants inclusion into your list article, by all means, add their comment to the list along with a backlink to their blog. You will develop a fiercely loyal readership this way and they will comment more.
Don’t forget to give your regular commenters link love occasionally.
Another thing that your should do to reward your commenters, is to draw inspiration from their comments for one of your blog posts. When you write a blog post that was inspired by one of your reader’s comments, be sure to credit them with a link to their comment and with a link to their blog!
If you implement the above you will develop a readership that will be fiercely loyal to your blog! When you engage your audience in this way, you will be well on your way to establishing yourself as an A-List blogger.
Now it’s your turn, readers! Do you draw inspiration from your commenters? Have you ever added their comments to one of your list articles? How did they feel about it? Don’t be bashful! Your comments are encouraged here at the Blogger tips and tricks for beginners.
