		<description>I suppose the best way to ultimately encourage such engagement is to first cultivate ‘selfless’ character..
what i realize about some bloggers online is that they are afraid &quot;example&quot; content thieves, negative comments, backlink thieves and as such, they tend to just ‘close up’ everything from the comment box to having registered participant only etc. Just so they could ultimately stop all of it.</description>

		<description>I have recently started using a call to action to get more comments, it really does work too. I don&#039;t just say &quot;leave a comment&quot; I always try to encourage people to share their thoughts, ask them questions or at the very least ask them if they agree or disagree.

People naturally want to answer questions, so this is a great way to encourage feedback.

I have found that doing something a bit different helps to get your readers involved. Rather than writing blog posts about a topic, it helps to run polls, or experiments, something that will peak the interest of your readers and encourage them to come back.</description>

		<description>Some very good tips. I always check out the sites of people who comment on my blogs and will more often than not comment on their blogs.

I am always trying to think of new ways to encourage comments, including making my blogs do-follow.</description>

		<description>I wouldn&#039;t say &quot;for you&quot; much &quot;in addition to&quot;.

The blogger should still reply to every comment that warrants one. 

IF one commenter does answer another &quot;fully&#039;, then yes, you may perhaps leave that one alone.</description>
