I agree. If you’re going into a discussion, do so for the sake of the discussion. I’ve heard that posting comments helps one’s search engine rankings, though I have serious doubts about that when compared to the heart of SEO, content, titles, and quality links. Lord knows, I could be wrong..
Also, it really depends on WHERE you’re leaving the comment. If you’re chasing after more popular bloggers, your comment will fall on deaf ears. People of that status don’t have the time to respond to every comment, or visit every single blogger that comes by their site. I agree with Derek to some extent. Do find the time to better develop your content, but also realize that you could have the best content, or idea in the world, but it won’t make readers magically appear.
I’ve been on the top and the bottom, and really, you only get out what you put into it.
Could not agree more. I started out visiting as many blogs as I could but unless you have the content the readers of those blogs are looking for it’s a complete waste of time. Better off with a select bunch who promote the idea of ‘sharing is caring’. That way you will always get traffic. And be sure to check your analytics. You would be surprised to see just where your visors are coming from. Well I was anyway
Blogging is a fickle existence which is why so many quit in their first year. It takes patience and a multi-pronged approach. And from what I have noticed, when you get the visitors you better be prepared to keep them coming or risk starting all over again.

To be honest, I really haven’t cracked this nut. Just doing the best I can to get my blog posts about web design and web development done every week!
But I think the idea of “caring” is accurate. Ultimately, this might come down to giving extremely helpful advice or something along those lines.
In any event, this is worth thinking about and testing.

This is a hugely important issue, and I think ‘cracking’ the case is going to be mostly a case-by-case one. I totally agree with what you say about ‘caring’ – though I also know that it’s crucial to show that you care in a way that encourages interaction. That’s where creative marketing comes in. It would be nice if there were some useful models custom-suited to different blog/business types to encourage interaction, drawing on the ‘show that you care’ philosophy.

Keep plugging away at it.
