I enjoy blog commenting a lot, at best it's a discussion that really ads value to the post and at worst it's the pat in the back kind of commenting that Larry talks on the post. I rarely leave comments that just say great post or something similar, but I do give credit when credit is due.

As for this post, it's not only great post about blog commenting in general, but also a great example of a post that asks for readers to comment, and comment well.

You nailed one of my pet peeves here…

The, "Hey nice post," comment. If you've read the post and taken the time to comment why not add some value? To tell you the truth I'd rather have no comments than those comments.

The comments thing works both ways. If a reader takes the time to add value to your site by commenting, you should be a good host and respond and I don't mean by just saying, "Thanks for the comment."

Lesson: All of social media is a party, so make sure you're party is one that people want to come to.

By the way, Great post =)

Being a newer blogger (my blog is less than a year old), I find commenting on blogs to be a great way to bring attention to my blog, build brand awareness, and to meeting other bloggers.

I do use a strategy which I find works pretty well for me:

- Post, at least, 3 comments a day

- Frequently post comments on the top blogs in your field

- Post authentic and useful comments which add to the conversation

- Be real and speak from the heart.

Great post, Larry. I look forward to reading more of them. Cheers!

I think that some of us have to push past our comfort zones. It's actually intimidating for some of us to get out there and comment on other people's blogs. In fear that we will not say something of value, or that we do not know enough to comment.

As a blogger, one of the things I strive to be very mindful of is that other bloggers, probably much like any writer or creative person, crave validation. Sure, blogging should probably be reward enough all on its own, but y'know, without some sort of feedback, how can you be sure that your words are being read. Or more importantly, how will you know if your words meant something to someone? Stats don't really give you that. Comments do.

So, I do try to comment often – provided that I can leave a meaningful comment or remark. It just seems like part of being a good netizen. And why not treat your fellow bloggers as you yourself would like to be treated?

Ive seen the effects of overly contrary with a member (well now banned member) on a forum, i can see how it could happen with blog commenting too.

Man that's funny, but sad. I read Engadget, and I absolutely hate people when they say "First!". What's the point of it?

I am reminded of Brian Clark's article, 'Is Commenting on Blogs a Smart Traffic Strategy?', and his reply to first 2 comments. The first comment was at 11:36 am, the second at 11:38 am, and Brian's reply at 11:39 am.

I was wondering if it is better to leave comments on blogs that write about the same subject as I blog about, or blogs that have a lot of traffic?

@Stefan: Ok, just one thing: I'm sorry my English isn't that good, I do not get the point of your sentence "I agree with all of the bullet points and I sometimes find myself being a bit contrary simple because I get hung up a simple phrase"?
