I see and read my fill of online content and I do include remarks on some blogs and it is sometimes nothing more than a “that a boy”. I agree it is not an engaging lead in to a real conversation but it is feedback and is a readers quickest way to say “Thanks for your effort.” Isn’t better than to just be a nameless hit on an analytics program? Doesn’t a blogger enjoy a little feedback? If every blog post attracted 40 engaging comments, would this be a blessing or a headache for the blogger if the readers are expecting answers, feedback and engaging commentary? It is without a doubt the problem a blogger wants to have.

I think your point is not about too many great comments, but rather to not spread comment spam and smear your brand. Did I mention that I agree. You’re brilliant But, if I like a blog, I see nothing brand smearing about a short comment saying, Thanks.

And glad to see you online Watty! Hope Sacramento is treating you well.

And I went back and added a sentence. Upon rereading it, that “news” line could have come across the wrong way. I hope I cleared that up.

It is simply amazing how much traffic I get on Twitter about lists of how to drive more traffic.

And so few of them are right-minded the way that you are.

Meaningful relationships.
Meaningful content.

How can that go wrong?
