They (don’t ask me who “they” are) say that to grow a blog you need to cre­ate a social envi­ron­ment around your blog.  This the­o­ret­i­cally will make peo­ple want to come back and read your blog again and again.

I’m not going to dis­credit this the­ory, but at the same time it’s not the com­plete pic­ture any­more then say­ing Myspace is one of the great­est web sites in the world because of the traf­fic it gen­er­ates.   Beyond social aspects you also need good con­tent.   Not all of us are good con­tent providers, heck most of you prob­a­bly hare my stuff.   That’s fine, no one is forc­ing to read it.   How­ever com­ment­ing is part of the equation.

Every time some­one leaves a com­ment on one of my blogs I do my best to reply within twenty four hours.   This shows that some­one is read­ing their com­ments and takes an inter­est in them.   I take an inter­est in each and every­one of my read­ers, though some of them don’t care enough about me to actu­ally leave a comment.

So have you left or replied to a com­ment today?
