Is blog commenting the ultimate goal for blog readers/visitors?

Blog commenting no doubt is one of the major yardsticks in measuring how engaged a blog is and it also plays some vital role in determining how pages are ranked and thus the comment sections of webpages are important sections of every blog.

We all know that it usually brings some sense of good feelings to bloggers whenever you open your blog dashboard and find those genuine comments pouring in. it also makes you have the true feelings that your blog is busy and that other webmasters reverend that your blog with high commenting engagements.

And these are the major reasons why most bloggers always scout for the best commenting systems for their blogs and they also endeavor to keep the section spam free by using additional spam filter plugins.

It was also one of the things that led to the popularity of the CommentLuv commenting system and why it is highly sort for by webmasters.

But despite these virtuous attributes that can be heaped on the comment sections of webpages, the big question still remains;

Is blog commenting the ultimate goal for blog readers/visitors?

I have been witnessing the huge emphases that many bloggers lay on blog commenting and also the extent to which they could go in order to make sure that they drive blog visitors that will eventually drop comments on their pages after reading their blog posts.

Some of those bloggers have constantly done so to the extent that it has started building and attracting negative influence to the minds of those blog readers that have now eventually being converted from blog readers to mainly blog commenters.

By so doing, you will easily see those converted blog commenters often sorting after blog that they will only glance through to drop their comments.

The emphasis here has shifted from in-depth reading to comprehend and make use of the values the articles are meant to offer to just taking a quick glance on the articles and commenting on them.

To add salt to the injury, when you look around these days, you will notice different bloggers organizing commenting contests on their blog.

Ok, now tell me, what do you think will be in the mind of blog visitors participating in blog contests? 

Obviously it will be difficult to convince anybody out there that those participating in blog commenting contests are interested in the juice or value that such article was meant to deliver but rather most of them will be interested in the prizes they could smile home with.

Hey, not that we are oblivious that such contests could generate high level of impression ads, but we are majoring on values here today.

Dare stop the commenting contests and watch most of the readers vanish away from your blog into the thin air.

Again, fact is this; it is not every article on a blog that all your readers are meant to show interest on or will enjoy, no matter how crafty, beautiful or prolific you tend to be in writing.

But a situation where you find some readers dropping comments on almost every article on your blog, it might just turn out to be a way of pleasing the blogger or for the sole purpose of gaining favour from the writer…so watch out!!

More questions and more things to ponder on

Those ads that you place on your blog, who are you placing them for? Is it when you have succeeded in turning your blog readers into blog commenters and that the only section of your blog that they now concentrate on is the comment section, and so what happens to those other ads on other sections of your blog? Who will visit them, who will click on them?

Do you prefer to add values and increase earnings with the number of blog visitors/readers you receive or you only prefer to see comments falling like rains in your comments sections whether relevant or irrelevant comments?

Now this is my own ultimate thought;

The ultimate aim sequentially in putting up those wonderful articles on your blog is for you to build readership communities around those articles (and not just commenting communities), that will in turn add meaningful values to the readers mind (solve some of their problems because you cannot just solve all), which could possibly create engagements (here the comments can rain like hail stone), second to the last, thus capable of building cordial and lasting relationship between readership members and the blogger (author or writer) and finally with the huge potential of driving crazy income.

Finally, it is important to note that a blog can have high traffic with genuine and loyal readers with low bounce rate and with low commenting engagement but the blogger in question is just doing fine. The things that worked for you must not necessarily work for another. All that matters is for you as a blogger to minimize or do away with any actions that can negatively impact on you and your blog and watch yourself soar like eagle in the sky with your blog.
