Great list on leaving a comment. I wish that more people would use this information. I end up with so much spam of people who don’t even try to post interesting or related comments.

I’m not talking here about leaving comments but its just about this finding purpose in life and has a free purpose test too, the content of your article goes lively and you deliver it well.

Doug,I think often times the biggest challenge is to “push” the conversation along. It’s so much easier to say “Nice post” etc. than it is to commit to an idea or thought.
However, I do believe there are those that are truly appreciative of your content, but feel inadequate to leave a comment.

David, got to your post via http://www.bryper.com and actually anticipated “rrdy’s” question about how to respond to comments–I’ll repost what I put in my comment to Bryan’s post:
1. Read your comments, don’t abandon your posts, even old ones that get new comments.
2. Don’t just say “Thanks” and “Great point,” but push the conversation along. I’m sure I have violated that one, but no more, I promise.
3. Visit the commenter’s’ blogs and return the favor. Link love and traffic is are currency, conversation is the payoff.
4. Think twice before responding to trolls and haters. Think twice before banning them or deleting their posts also. Be the grown-up.
anyone– Feel free to disagree, add, expand

mdy:
Responding to blog comments is something I grapple with, too. And my approach is to *not* to respond to every single comment. Sometimes, as you hint at, one isn’t necessary.
But when I do answer comments, I often start by thanking the commenters for their messages, and then addressing and building on what they wrote. I find that the best way to keep the comment thread lively!
Excellent post, David.

Hi David!
Thanks for sharing these tips and thanks for ‘living out’ these tips when you recently left a comment on my blog. I hope you’ll do a follow-up post on how to RESPOND to comments because that’s one thing I haven’t quite figured out yet, especially in times when I have nothing to say beyond “Thanks for commenting” — which unfortunately feels too much like “Nice post”
I DO make a point of visiting the site or blog of the person who left the comment, and if they happen to use Twitter, I typically add them (as I did in your case).
Anyway, just wanted to say ‘Hi’ and thanks again for the comment you left on my blog. Cheers!
