It has been nearly months I am not really active blogging. I try to find so many excuses and reason to stay away from blogging. Frankly, I am just telling lies to myself. After not being active for so long, lack of confidence starts to fill in the space. It gives more pressure to stop blogging. The only positive side that really helps me to write back is comments. When I read those not replied comments, I immediately start replying it. This gives me ideas to write new blog post with totally unique title. Instead of seeking what to write ideas on blog, the comments from readers just gives some great ideas for us to write new blog posts.
Keeping close communication with our readers bring back our visitors and turning them into loyal visitors. I used to reply all the comment on my blog without even realizing it. Now, I can see clearer picture of why we all should reply comments in our blog. Related questions from commentators give us motivation to research further in order to provide the answer to our commentators. Learning process is boring but if we can help others while learning, it is motivating. Plus, I do not want to lose contact with all my loyal readers and commentators.
If you are tired of blogging and your mind is empty of topics to write, don’t seek answers from search engine on topics to write on your blog. Instead, take the first step to reply all the comments in your blog. This is a great start to write more user related posts. I’m sure some of your commentators might ask some questions or share their experience that may bring some new ideas. I guess that is the fire that helps me writing at least one blog post a day for months. I am sure it will help us all to keep blogging for long period of time which will increase popularity of our name and blog.

Really it is so sad but please try to reply on all comments otherwise people will not come on your blog.
People will still come even if we don’t reply to comments. But, replying comments will help us get more friends and loyal readers.
be open-minded, comments will help you to work for something new
Yes, comment is the main reason we blog. Without comment, there are no motivation too.
Yup, comment form is great source for post idea. I often use it whenever i face writer block.
Great! I guess replying comments is what makes me keep blogging all this while.
Replying visitors comments can increase the relationship and credibility in the eye of visitors so they can be loyal ones
Exactly! It helps to increase trust in our blog and get loyal readers.
Good advice — sadly, there are times when those comments on my blog stack up and go unanswered. That’s just pure laziness on my part…
Me too. I’m just replying comments back in December 2009 now.
As a blogger too, sometime i may also lack of idea on what to write in the next post. Yet i do not have much comment to be replied. So, i feel quite disappointed when such circumstance occur in me.
I’m sure you will find some ideas by replying comments. Because, some questions that our commentators asked can’t be written in few words. It may need 200-300 words and it can be used as new post.
Shame on you not blogging as much as you used to, only joking! It can get just a little too much sometimes specially if a blog has countless amount of comments and you are trying to answer each and every one of them..
I feel bad too. I hope to have the same level of motivation and drive the whole year.
It is tiring to answer each comment but trust me, it is worth every second we spend.
We can get a lot of friends and we can get to know better on our readers. Also, it gives special power to our spam net eyes.
I sometimes forget to reply to comments but I try to when I remember it.
Great! Try replying comments and I’m sure you will see returning visitors and increased in traffic.
