- chyya, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8this should be renamed to "5 ways to be an attention whore"
- Ireland, on 10/10/2007, -0/+66. Submit your column to digg.
- joep0, on 10/10/2007, -1/+67. Rewrite ALL articles into lists.
- Aaronontheweb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Some content is just more conducive to comments than others. There are some good tips in the article though.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3you mean like this?
"[PIC] Best iPhone hack with Ubuntu you will see today EVER!" - mseneschal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4You forgot to use the word "AMAZING"
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Reveal the end of Halo 3 and throw freebies out the window works pretty well too.

- spyrochaete, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The author brings up one good point - commenting on other blogs. I occasionally get traffic from the blogs of Matt Cutts, Ragnar Tornquist, Chris Pirillo, and some others. I comment because I'm genuinely interested in participating in the article, but if I'm presented the option to input my URL while doing so I won't pass that up.
This reminds me of one feature I miss about Blogger, having switched to WordPress. On Blogger you can set up a personal profile with keywords like favourite movies and books, and you can search for other profiles. I serve my own WordPress site so it's kind of an island in comparison.
I still argue that comments and even readers are simply a nice bonus. You have to write for yourself first, and anyone who sticks with you must have similar interests and will be a loyal reader. If you write for your audience you won't be writing from the heart and they'll see through it. - dreamstretch, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Just write anything about religion.
- sacherjj, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I would think that redesigning your comment system to suck would work. Seemed to work here with thousands of hate mail style comments. : )
- chyya, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2we have to get the the more important issues off the main page duh.
- BlogEx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2gah! I wish I were back in college and could just skip my classes... when 2 came out I spent about a day playing it before emerging from the basement. I'm not proud, but it's the truth.
- euphemizeme, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I beg to differ.
- ButchersBoy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Let's see it then.
- spyrochaete, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You're both right. One comes with the other.
- fak3r, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2LIFE CHANGING!
- crazybugger, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Write the first thought that comes into your head. See the response that u get.
- fak3r, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Sure, although I think the motivation of many "new" "bloggers" is to generate income by posting things and trying to get people to read/comment on them so the blogger gets to serve up more ads. To each his own, but I would look for a way to share ideas more freely online first.
- hockey, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2umm. . .have something of interest to talk about in the first place?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1So why isn't there a horde of comments here?
- Skitzzo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2um... the article is about ways to get comments, not traffic...
- yapa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If you really want lots of comments, just write "Post comments and you will find true love. If you don't, your pet will die."
Worked for Friendster and chain mails. - BlogEx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1coming from someone with the username of Ireland... oh the irony
- Ireland, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You'll never get any replies for that.
- DocHoliday22, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1His blog comments aren't that active.

- greatargonauts, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0submit anything that has the word "SEX, HOT and WOMEN" on the title.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1advice for wankers, by a wanker.
- GunsGermsSteel, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Weak article. It assumes there's a "blogging community," but what kind of community? Only sites that are like your site? What if your site is more general? Are you too outside the blogosphere (because c'mon, it's not like there are that many blo--oh wait. There are? Never mind). Then there's promoting "bait" articles and personally, I'd like to keep my integrity rather than jump into the Bill O'Reilly/Ann Coulter/I'll Say Anything For Attention School of Journalism (their stationary is problematic).
- fak3r, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16) Write an article called "5 Ways to Attract More Comments" and submit it to Digg.com.
- KevenM, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2Ok, let's make this the very last comment for this story. Irony, here we come!

- euphemizeme, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3show your *****
- Rubab, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1another way to get traffic..
- tehpwnerofn00bs, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2#1 way to get traffic, and possibly go over your bandwidth: get a front page article on Digg. Duh. We crash so many websites from traffic, its not even funny.
- Tamriel, on 10/10/2007, -10/+4So... you guys want to spam some ridiculous comments on the blog?
