Hi Darren,

Being “talked about” has always been giving ways to be able to build posts into “discussions” – this increases your capability to be viewed by more people because more and more could react and this will be continuous! Additionally, you should as well participate with them by threading into their conversations.

Yes, I do believe that asking them “What do you think?” can always open up their ideas and reactions. Also, asking their experiences can always be effective at the end of any post as they will not only react on the topic but will also relate it to their real-life activities which adds interests as possible just similar to “What’s your story?”

Thanks!

What is Your Opinion? What do you think? These are two common questions I like to asked my readers in order to get them involve in the blog conversion post.

Wow, I got another host of question from you today that I would start using from now onward. That’s great…

Darren, thanks for your thoughts and advice. As a direct result of this post, I’m off to re-edit my most recent blog post http://sammiam.wordpress.com/2010/02/28/skin/ by asking a question or two. I may even get brave and invite feedback by posting a link to the DPS forum! Cheers Samm

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won’t die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won’t have a blog but now a days it’s very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.

I just can’t believe that so many people post spam on sites especially personal blogs just for the sake of some link juice. I need to stay alert 24/24 even with fancy pluggins like spam killer… I dont want to imagine what would happen to my work if I didn’t had the minimum ammount of protection.

Ask them questions! What do comedians do…they involve the audience to improve reaction and to use the audience feedback to refine their act in real time…

Asking questions at the end of your post is a great way to get comments, but here is a little something to get extra comments.

In one of the comments on my blog, a lady commented on the post and finished by saying that her brother now lived in England.
I thanked her for her comment and asked “where abouts in England does your brother live?”

I wasn’t trying to get another comment, but having read this post, I realised that this would lead to a response.

Not something you can do with every comment, but worth bearing in mind!

Some of my blog posts have questions at the end but not all.. thanks for this idea, I will keep this in mind that questions are really worth it for engagements in readers thoughts (^_^)

mostly I used: What do you think? and what is your opinion?

Darren, you did exactly what Dale Carnegie says to do in How to Win Friends and Influence People at that party. I do it all the time. I ask people what they do (wind them up) and let them rattle off. I do however get suprised when they do not recipricate and ask what I do.

Daren is great with his tips. In fact, I bought and read his book “ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income”.

For the question, I ask readers, ‘What do you think or feel after reading this post?’

Many thanks for making the effort to put this interesting info together. I am going to certainly bookmark your website to revisit again. Keep up the really good work. By the way, your RSS feed won’t operate in my browser (google chrome) just how can I repair it?

Really helpful post, and very interesting. Its almost as if you should think of the blog as a party where you are meeting new people. Asking questions is not only the best way to engage people, but to get people to like you. Everyone loves to talk about themselves (especially bloggers), so inviting them to do so makes you seem friendly. Very smart. Thanks a lot.
