Hello everyone
I'm looking for suggestions on getting more subscribers and more comments on the blog post.

The blog is
www.vbulletinsetup.com

I've added this lucy nofollow plugin that offers some setting for removing the nofollow attribute from links after X post as well as some more settings for older post.

I'm wondering if I should add a different comment's widget to the side, the one now is a default widget with wordpress.

Thanks for your suggestions
-Brandon

Ask people questions at the end of your posts and also leave room for them to comment. Don't try to cover everything that can possibly said about a subject so others can fill in the gaps.

The exchange Michael is suggesting works. Some people want to comment, but don't like being the first to comment. If you exchange comments with another blogger or two you'll guarantee you get at least one or two comments on every post and usually not too long after your other readers start to comment as well.

This is one of the most difficult things to do for many bloggers.

It is great to get loads of visitors to your site, but it is even better when they are commenting.

You could add a 'top commenters' section to the side of your blog.
Do a contest to increase comments.

My website gets thousands of visitors, yet I have few comments. This is something that I will be looking into in the coming weeks, hopefully have some more useful information for you then.

Darren Rowse over at ProBlogger has covered this subject in detail at his blog. I highly suggest reading the following posts:

How to Build Community on Your Blog
How Do I Grow My Blog
What Time of Day is Best to Post to Your Blog?
Using Social Media to Grow Your Blog's Readership

There are plenty more where those come from, you just have to check it out. His archives are full of information.

Some of those suggestions are great. If you REALLY want comments, you could also use the population service over at WiredFlame. I love those guys.

I wrote for my blog, ProTycoon, and the website does not get that many comments at the moment, but I am still working on the sites design and layout, so am hoping that will improve, but when I do guest posts on places such as bloggingtips.com my posts get alot more comments, so I think it is just a case of building up a small community around your blog. With content that allows people to feedback.

One of the things I noticed was when my blog was in infancy, it wasn't getting a lot of comments. I fixed that with a few things -

1. Writing often
2. Linking out
3. Inviting comments
4. Linking out
5. Asking questions
6. Linking out

Get the point? The more you link out, the more people will notice you. Granted, this isn't a silver bullet, but it certainly works well, at least in my experience.

Why do you want more comments? More comments isn't necessarily better. you could have 50 "Yes, I agree" comment types, or 5 well written, 1000 word, completely thought out comments. I'd take the latter any day.

More people will subscribe if you consistently have something useful to say. Your returning regular visitors will expect great posts.

Comments are not a measure of success but more a measure of your visitors satisfaction!

1) Post a list of 5-7 resources at the bottom of each post. There's a WP plugin that will do it automatically for you.

2) For Wordpress, install the commentluv plugin which places a link from the commenter's blog at the bottom of their comment on your blog

3) For Wordpress, install the subscribe to comments plugin. Commenter's get an email when someone else has added a comment to the same blog post, fascilitating a conversation
