Most often conversation will result when posters go back and forth discussing a particular topic or post. Adding a link to a post in the comments will also drive readers to your blog, especially if its a popular blog. Another way is to comment on blogs you regularly visit.

People do tend to comment in groups - if one has broken the ice, more will follow. Of course, if you have too many comments, people are either intimidated, feel like everything has been said, or the comments page takes too long to load.... that's a whole different issue though, eh??

It reminds me of the small album for signatures that my father used to have. Someone had written on the last page: By hook or by crook, I'll be last in this book. That person was outdone by someone else who had written on the inside of the back cover: Did you never discover you could write on the cover? I'm not sure how that applies here in the virtual world, but I'm working on it. :) This is excellent advice. It reminds me of the small album for signatures that my father used to have.

I had seen including mine( though my blog is pretty young) that people leave more comments if there is already one comment present. "Curiosity".Thats a human nature.
