In order to receive more comments, you obviously need a good amount of visitors. If you have at least 100 visits a day and no one is commenting on your blog, you know that there is something wrong. Try these great plugins and I hope it might you in increasing comments:
1. Show Top Commentators: This Plugin encourages discussion from your readers by displaying their name (linked to their site without a nofollow tag if desired) and the number of comments on the sidebar. The plugin also gives you the option to reset the list every hour, day, week, month, or year.
2. Brian’s Threaded Comments: This plugin adds a ‘Reply to this comment’ link to every comment. When you use the reply link, your comment is placed directly under the comment you replied to. This plugin helps increase comments, makes it easy for people to reply to comments, and prevents readers from scrolling down to look for answers to their questions.
3. Subscribe to Comments: This plugin allows commenters on your blog to check a box before commenting and get an e-mail notification of further comments. This encourages readers to come back and take part in the conversation.
4. Better Comments Manager – this plugin allows you to respond to comments on your blog as you moderate them in the comments area of WP’s back end you’ll be.
5. Comment relish: This plugin sends a thank-you email to your blog’s first-time commentators.
6. Link Love: This plugin turns off nofollow for all commenters who have made at least 10 comments. The number of comments is configurable by changing a variable in the plugin.
Alternate (NoFollow Free) – This WordPress plugin remove the “nofollow” attribute from your WordPress blog’s comments (precisely from the author’s links) and/or from the comments text links and it inserts
7. WP Comment Moderation Notifier – get notified on your desktop when a new comment comes in that needs moderation
8. Threaded Comments – A good way of helping readers to have more dialogue in their comments.
9. WP Ajax Edit Comments: This plugin (for WP 2.1+) allows users and admins alike to edit comments on a post. Users can edit their own comments for a period specified by the Admin, and Admins can edit all post comments. This plugin can help reduce typos on reader comments and at the same time encourage more comments from them.
10. Get Recent Comments: This highly configurable plugin displays the most recent comments in the sidebar. You can make the plugin to link the recent commenter’s site along with an excerpt of their comment. Linking to the commenter’s site can encourage them to comment even more.
11. Live Comment Preview: This plugin will display a live preview of your reader’s comments as they type. To install the plugin, just activate it!
12. Comment Quicktags: This plugin inserts a quick tag toolbar on the blog comment form that will help your commenters to easily make their comment in bold or italics, or to insert links.
13. MyAvatars: This plugin displays the reader’s MyBlogLog avatars besides their comments. This may not help in increasing comments much, but readers may like seeing their avatars on your blog. 🙂
Hope this will help you in increasing the comment section of your blog. So which technique helped a lot in increasing your comment field?
