So it’s interesting that I look at my stats and see 20+, sometimes 100+, people visit my blog on any given day, but I rarely get comments.
Anyone have any idea why that is?
The reason I like the internet for writing and reading is because of the opportunity for communication and dialogue (stuff you can’t get when reading a book or magazine). So why don’t we comment more? I think about writing papers in school and hating when I got a paper back with nothing but a grade (I didn’t like it too much when there was red grammar and spelling corrections all over it either). But I LOVED when I got real geniune feedback from a teacher: suggestions on how to make my writing better, positive affirmation when they liked a part, questions that got me thinking deeper about what I was writing and more.
So, I was thinking of starting a blog where people HAVE to comment on it to read it, but I don’t know how to make that work.
I average about 80-90 unique visitors a day yet I don’t get comments either.
Take a look at your Length of stay stats. 85% of the people that come to my page only stay for under 10 seconds. That may be the reason.
Ariah,
Nice layout as well…I tend to have the same problem with readers vs. comments. Maybe we need to broaden our subscribers. Or write really shocking blogs to get attention. Sorry about your bike. Thanks for the comment. I am just now catching up on everything.
