Sometimes I think it can be the nature of the article that doesn't encourage comments. Even articles that may not be that great but ask questions of the readers will draw more feedback I think we’ve all had posts that we thought we really good and ultimately drew very few comments, if any.

The best critizism you get out of your blog is what your readers say. I find it very affective to read every comment and take a second to think about it. Agreed!

Yeah comments can be a real good indicator of what's hot and what's not. I think reacting to comments is just as important as well, as commentators need to know that they're being listened to and that they count in the blog's community. In reaction to Leonid - ever tried <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/06/13/should-i-add-fake-comments-to-my-blog/" rel="nofollow">faking comments</a>? :) Great post Genesis.

In reaction to Leonid – ever tried faking comments? :)

Comments are important, another tip is, if you are just starting out, edit your template to completely get rid of comments (on the front page only). Then once your blog gets bigger, put them back in. No-one wants to see a commentless blog, its a sad thing. :-P. Very good post.

After much practice, I am slowly learning the topics that really hit and miss as far as comments go. It seems that some posts are simply informative, and don't quite elicit as much comments as others that ask questions or give controversial statements. All in all, learning to write blog posts to provoke comments is becoming an art form! Agreed! After much practice, I am slowly learning the topics that really hit and miss as far as comments go.

Of course they work best when combined with other types of statuses, like post views or how much time people spend on your site after publishing a certain post.

I think it would perhaps be a good idea to write out a spreadsheet and really pay attention to which topics have the most comments. I also pay attention to search terms. I might be getting a few searches on a topic I haven't talked about in a little while so I will make another post on that.
