Something that also helps is to have a widget on the side that displays recent comments and links the individual's name to their website. It's hard, but really people have to not get too stressed out about comments or lack of comments. Some niches/blogs simply generate more than others. I've found that with my Self Help blog, for example - people simply prefer to e-mail me! I have no idea why this is, but it's okay by me. On the other hand, I have a dreamology blog that gets a great number of comments. Go figure! Great stuff!

Meaning - do you have regular traffic coming in? If not, I'd recommend working on your marketing/traffic growth. More eyeballs on your blog will also help increase your commenting. If so, then it could be anything. Ask a few friends if they'd be interested in commenting on your blog and you'll comment on theirs just to get the commenting started. :) Hope that helps.

But, the less work for them, the better. Also, keep the prizes relevant, as I'm sure you would. Hope that helps! Nicole Paul,

I've been blogging for quite a while but I don't know enough about blog format to follow through with some of your suggestions. I have a free blogger blog and a free wordpress blog and am part of a group blog. I am trying to figure out how to email someone who commented on one of my blog posts. The link goes to their blog and not to email. <em>Eleisia's last blog post..<a href='http://momsinablog.com/moms-at-home/recipes-tips/christmas-tree-shaped-appetizer/'>Christmas Tree-Shaped Appetizer</a></em> Nicole,
