Hello,

I have created a blog and have been successful with having a somewhat "large" amount of hits on it. Although I never get blog responses. Is there a problem with the topic I choose to write about? Blog Layout? Inconsistency in posts?

I can not understand what causes people to just skim over my site.

sometimes you have to get the ball rolling and get some friends from forums or social networking sites to leave comments. For some reasom, most people don't like to be the first one to comment.

Also, if your blog is dofollow, it will usually get more comments.

I guess that sounds like a good idea.

you have to make it obvious or they wont do it... also send out emails to those that have subscribed

i dont have any subscriptions yet... thats my goal... i have some people visiting but have yet to get a good following yet...

Same thing here - get hits but just can't get comments. I visit a lot in a similar category and always read and comment if something pops into my head but only once in a blue moon does anyone comment back.

Sometimes I think there's just too many now - it's like over kill. Who can keep up with them all? I keep trying different tactics to see if there's a trick to getting people's attention to post.

if your blog is "do follow" i guess more bloggers will comment.

You can include some current hot topics in your blog.
For example: China Olympics, interesting events etc. (do some brain storming to find that out)
Blend these topics in you blog content, Make it informative, compose the content in such a way that your are expecting opinions. Don't let anybody know that you've included these "off the subject" topics artificially. Just have it naturally blended.

Good luck

You can also post something interactive in your blog to make visitors interact with each other or comment about it. You may start a poll, make an argument or debate...etc.etc
