Blogopreneur’s “How to Make Conversations Work for Blogs” is a great look at how to continue the conversation on your blogs.
In order for you to be able to make conversations work for your blog, you need to be updated whenever a new comment has been posted on your blog. While it would be good to respond to comments as and when you see them, nothing really beats the ability to respond to comments immediately!
Author Kian Ann explains how comment moderation and registration is one of the first things that get in the way of continuing the conversation, and then tackles the issue of comment spam. It’s very true that people tend to judge your blog by how comment spam free it is.
He goes on to provide helpful tips on how to monitor your blog comments, not just by providing email subscriptions and feeds for your visitors but also how to monitor your comments so you can respond quickly.
If you offer a customer service blog that requires immediate or fast responses, the tips listed are fabulous for monitoring your blog comments. Even if you don’t and you just enjoy responding quickly, and getting the thrill of “somebody loves me”, this is still a must read.

Comment spam is a big problem in the blogging world, and in fact, not even blogging world. My business website has a contact form and I get spam from there LOL!
I think awareness is very important. The spammers, and their employers, should be made aware that there is no use spamming people like this.
This is definitely one of my favorite new blogs. I want to know when I get new comments and I check my moderation box frequently – don’t want to let any of that spam through.
Amrit – yeah. Practically anything you put out there is spam-ridden. It is so disgusting 😡
