Why Leave Comments?
I know that many of you readers come here, read what you want to, take what you want to, do what you want to without me knowing that you ever came here! So, if you have been a silent reader of my blog and want to know the benefits of leaving comments on a blog’s posts, let me give you some tips on why you should be doing it.
1. Do you know me?
If you regularly leave comments on a particular blog, it will make the blog owner recognize you and also your website. When you do this on multiple blogs, you will be socially recognized in the blogging community. Also, most of the blogs nowadays use Gravatars which can help in branding and getting some popularity for your own blog. I think that leaving comments on popular blogs is the best way to be known around the Internet.
2. Building Community
A community is built around people and their views. Leaving comments is a way of showing that you care and want to share your opinion with others including the owner of the blog. The comments can be a suggestion, feedback, appreciation or even criticism. They are good as long as they are not spammy or abusive. So, even if you are just stopping by, try to make that little effort of writing a comment, even if its just a line.
3. Getting What you Want
You should leave a comment because that’s the only way the blog owner can judge what the reader/customers want without getting a written e-mail or any other form of communication.
4. Link Building & Traffic
Most of the blogs allow you to leave your website link/s when writing comments (Dofollow or Nofollow) for the blog. This can help you in getting good inbound links and also some additional traffic to your site.
5. Selling yourself
If you are a service provider or have something to sell, comments can be an unobtrusive way to do this. I am not asking you to write your sales pitch in the comments but when you build a relationship with the people through commenting on their blogs, it gets easy to sell your wares to them. Cheap advertising for you 
6. Go down in the Blogging history
This is for the people who do not run websites or blogs but just like to surf the Internet. Someday, when someone tries to search for your name on Google, believe me or not, if you mentioned your name in the comment author, the search results will pop out the comments that you wrote. For some people, the results can be very fascinating
7. Show off your writing style
Finally, if you have good written English skills, comments can be the platform where you can flaunt them. A lot of people will read them.
And last but not the least, when you leave a comment on a post, it is sort of a reward or a small prize for the blog owner. So, you know now what makes leaving comments so special! Go on, leave a comment and show me that you learned something
To flaunt or not to flaunt one’s superior grasp of the English language when commenting — that is the question. Whether t’is nobler to suffer the potential jealous slings and arrows of the less linguistically endowed and by casting one’s elegant prose to the side make the blogosphere a warmer and fuzzier place?
cool, thanks for this!
Digging the wordpress themes. Like the chat box in the corner, tried to speak to you on it but no answer.

Really Great Post? Can you give me help for my blog posting.
Very great post. Really pushed me to write my first comment on a blog
I love cartoons.
Yes, thanks for the great tips. I’m still trying to figure out how much weight #4 carries because I saw a site with less than 10 backlinks and a good deal of traffic.
Many say you MUST have many backlinks but this site didn’t. I’ll figure it out sooner or later. Thanks once again. http://www.babyboomerqueen.com .
