That's fraud. Do you really want to get comments that way?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I admit, I used to tear my hair out worrying about how I could get more people to comment on my posts. &lt;BR/&gt; &lt;BR/&gt;But after doing some research on the subject, I realized regardless of your traffic, only a tiny fraction of the people who read your blog posts are going to comment on them. That's just a fact.&lt;BR/&gt; &lt;BR/&gt;Realizing that's the nature of the beast, I'm no longer concerned about the number of readers who do or don't comment on my blog.&lt;BR/&gt; &lt;BR/&gt;I'm just grateful that they take time out of their day to read my blog at all.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4516335071293208209/3838061190603735701/comments/default/6100040863559764273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4516335071293208209/3838061190603735701/comments/default/6100040863559764273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.free-marketing-tips-blog.com/2009/02/calling-all-bloggers.html?showComment=1235264460000#c6100040863559764273' title=''/><author><name>David Jackson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08976782241607522577</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07372757598471137328'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.free-marketing-tips-blog.com/2009/02/calling-all-bloggers.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516335071293208209.post-3838061190603735701' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4516335071293208209/posts/default/3838061190603735701' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516335071293208209.post-496025771860959503</id><published>2009-02-21T19:21:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-21T19:21:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I started a blog to get the message out of my new ...</title><content type='html'>I started a blog to get the message out of my new online store, i have yet to get any comments on that blog.
