We recently heard from a blogger who left Google/Blogger because of the technical problems he was experiencing, but he was also afraid his blog was going to be deleted like so many of the other blogs we have been reporting.
This blogger brought up a great point which we have heard from others, and sometimes experience ourselves: a lack of comments from viewers.
I know there are many reasons viewers do not leave comments, however, if a blog allows for comments, the blogger wants to hear from you! If you visit a blog regularly, it is not necessary to leave a comment every time you drop in, but think of saying "HI" once in a while. We bloggers appreciate hearing from you. A blogger buddy of mine calls himself a "comment whore". He just loves comments. Actually most of us are comment whores, but he is the only one to admit it!
So, dear blog viewers, when the mood is right, give bloggers a hug every once in a while, leave a comment. It's sure to bring a big smile to all our faces.

This was some really good and really needed information, guys. I can only speak for myself, but I assumed that they only looked at the complaint. Comments, especially positive ones, are very necessary. Thank you for this post!!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, KS Bear! Woof!!
ReplyDeleteDamn good point. I know I only tend to leave comments to those who regularly comment on my blog; time to share the support a little more!
ReplyDeleteAnd, btw - you guys are doing a brilliant job! Invaluable service!
Thanks, man! I think we all tend to do the same. It really would be great to hear from viewers who never leave comments on our blogs, even if it's a simple, "HI".

Hi...
ReplyDeleteIt's only simple "Hi!", lol....
And a big HI back to you, cock hunter!
ReplyDeleteNot only comments but I deemed the blog worthy of an award...and I gave it to you...I am a faithful follower, in part because your blog is informative and also because I live in constant fear of Google giving my blog the shaft.
