No. Not necessarily. Traffic comes from having content people want. Comments come from writing content that encourages comments and conversation. Do blogrolls increase traffic and comments?

I must say that some people get offended at the weirdest things...I think people can be a little sensitive sometimes. Would you say Lorelle that to get comments you also need to somehow get on peoples blog rolls - traffic helps yes? My personal blog got comments early on but I have lost some momentum...

I just did. I have no idea what you are talking about and there is no "what is this about" page that I could easily find. It looks more like a "quote others" and feed supplier page than a conversational blog. I found nothing that encouraged me to comment, but I did see a place to log in and become "part of the community". If it is set up to require logging in before commenting, it kills a lot of comments. That's a lousy setup. Take another look, if you are serious about getting comments, at how you supply information and how you request conversations. Have you read your own blog? I just did.
