This happens with most of us, I mean we bloggers. We all visit blogs but a thing which most of us resist doing is commenting. I think its uncommon for anyone to comment on each and every blog or say, posts. Networking or maintaining good relationship with fellow bloggers is one of the most vital part of successful blogging. And once you maintain the same then you have to get along with things like visits, comments, clicks etc... I guess we all desire for the same.

To comment or not, again depends upon one's mindset. To let you know more about myself, I’ve been visiting so many blogs but do I need to leave comments on all those blogs or say, posts. Absolutely not. It only depends upon my mood...in the end and also on the fact, how well I understood each and everything. I cannot if it does not entice me...to be honest.

No doubts, comments are an integral component of the blog building process as they lend “social proof” but it is also known that all comments are not equal. At times, it turns out to be a big blunder. Anyways, to ensure the legitimacy of my remarks on any particular post, I make sure that I have these 3 simple yet most vital elements in my comments :

My comment has to be relevant

I read it, understand it and then leave my remarks making sure that I have contributed effectively to the discussions of any posted content. I know I am not a spammer and if I post anything which is irrelevant then I am surely lacking respect for the site owner and the fellow visitors. I cannot appear to be an intruder by writing anything and everything. It has to make sense in the end to enable community feeling among other visitors.

I have to be helpful

I am commenting but more importantly, I am being helpful to my fellow bloggers by leaving insights, opinions and personal experiences if any. The more thoughts I am putting into my comments, the more helpful I am to them.

I have to be courteous and cordial

At times, I feel like criticizing but there is absolutely no reason for me to be disrespectful or discourteous to anyone. One must remember - Blogging sites are 'social' communities and disruptive tones, behavior or language is not considered very social. If I break this rule then no doubt, I am damaging the harmony of the blogging community and this is what I am not supposed to do.

In short, I have to be everything but finally good. These three key elements has to be in your comments to add more value as a reader. I am following it seriously but Are You ??
