And, you know how it feels when your content languishes for weeks without comments. It’s like being broke.

You spend a lot of hours on your post and you finally publish it. The search engine and social network campaigns drive traffic. Then, you wait for people to read and leave valuable comments. At the end of the day or week, you feel disappointed, because it seems as if no one really cares.

It’s painful. I’ve been there. But, it can change. That’s why I have written this in-depth article to guide you.

Comments may not be a good metric by which to measure the success of your blog but, as Jeff Goins agrees, they are at least one form of search engine currency for bloggers and other content marketers. You want your post to be a social bookmark for others to come back to.
