Everyone wants to be validated, to have that good feeling when you get a big response from something you write.

I got a surprise 2000 extra visits to my site yesterday out of the blue, but they came, read, and left. Nobody seems to have left comments. And so I was like, "Okay, that's nice... I guess." But I didn't know the traffic had come until someone explained to me why it was there, and then I looked. This is way true.

So maybe my friends don’t 100% get why I dig comments, but anyone else with a blog understands how vital they are to not only your site’s survival, but to your sanity/ego/motivation to move forward with your life. We judge a blog entirely on its comments. I could give less of a sh*t if you get millions of readers every month, but if you’re getting 100 comments per post you are the cat’s pajamas. If you’re in PR you understand that reaching out to bloggers is important. But which bloggers do you contact? Those who are part of something bigger? The columnists for AOL? The biggies on HuffPo? Or do you go to the ones who have established their own little “cult followings”? People like The Bloggess or Marie Forleo… To be perfectly honest, the reason I comment on blogs isn’t because people ask. From my experience, both with my own comments and seeing why other people write, here are the top reasons I comment a blog post: * The blogger has said something I agree or disagree with strongly * I want to congratulate someone on a new job/baby/engagement/personal success * Something is hilarious and I want to add my own experience * Something is so amazing I couldn’t possibly leave the website without letting the blogger know how amazing they are but am too lazy to write an email (There is a fine line. Remember that.) * There’s some form of list, usually in advice-form, where I have something to contribute I'm a little late on commenting, but this is a BRILLIANT BRILLIANT post. I also wanted to up your numbers ;-) You rock my socks. There’s this super-specific blogging community that you only understand if you’re knee-deep in the trenches.
