Think about this for a second. You know how hard it is to get someone to visit your site, right? You know how few people ever leave comments?

This is a fantastic article. Thanks for taking things beyond the standard "7 Tips to Blah blah blah" and into really useful territory.

While I'm at it, getting that much content into a single post and keeping it easy to read is a real tallent.

Ivan, Thanks for the extremely helpful, practical advice. I really appreciate when someone takes the time to explain the detailed, step-by-step 'how to' instructions about something that seems like it should be obvious, but I still have never really learned how to do it. I will follow your instructions to the letter. Thanks again.

Thanks Jackie, I always try to imagine that the other person is sitting across the table when I'm writing a blog post - it seems to help keen me focused and write in a way that evokes more interaction.

I second Niall, this is one of the most insightful pieces on blog commenting I've read -- we'll done. I agree it's really about building connections and relationships with your readers, and these are some concrete ways to do it. Great stuff. Rec'd and Tweeted.

Top class Ivan! Great blogging strategy! This is easily one of the best posts on blogging I've ever read. I think anyone that is looking to grow their readership & network would do very well to read this post and implement all the points you mentioned. I love the piece on turning comments into conversations.
