Some people will know exactly what I am talking about and others will need more information. What I am talking about is your comment section. The section for comments on your post is a mini forum that you have to keep up. When people leave a comment it is important for you to remember not to ignore the comment.

The comment section is an excellent place for you to build your blogging community. As I have said in other posts, your comment section is a mini forum for your readers to exchange comments and ideas on your post. Replying to some of these comments is absolutely necessary as most will come back to see what you have replied to what they have said and are encouraged to add another comment.

Comments are essential to the popularity of a blog. The more comments on your posts the more appealing your blog looks to others just finding your blog for the first time.  Relevant comments will give you more to say in response but other spam like comments should be deleted.  It is very important to recognize your readers by responding to their comments.  Building your community is extremely important to the health of your blog and responding to comments helps to build your community and encourages readers to come back more often.

In the past I have neglected to respond to comments and have had trouble building a readership for my blog.  Since I have started to respond to comments more people are encouraged to comment on my posts.  It may only take a minute or two to respond to a comment but a lot of bloggers (your main source of traffic) find it rude when you don’t respond to comments and will not come back.  In closing, remember to respect your readers and when they take the time to comment on your post, take the time to respond to their comment.
