According to digital marketing agency BlueGlass, not having a slew of comments isn’t necessarily the end of the world. “It’s true that more comments can show a more engaged community, which is important for any blog,” marketing analyst Deanna DeRosa writes. “But just because a blog isn’t getting 10 or 20 or even 100 comments per post doesn’t mean it’s not reaching and influencing people. Success can be interpreted differently from blogger to blogger, and there are certain things (like lots of comments on every post) that a blog doesn’t need to be successful.” There are a lot of good thoughts in this piece — and it could be an opportunity to rethink your site’s approach a little.
