Good comment survey results
A month or so ago I created a survey about what makes a good comment. I gave some reasons for people to choose from. They could tick as many as they liked. Out of the 25 people who responded, these were the results:
- A question is asked 16
- Must relate to the topic 14
- Writer knows what they are talking about 9
- Been polite 11
- Given their point of view with reasons 16
- Adds information to my post 4
- Shows humour 3
- Must be positive 5
The readers could also add their own reasons for a good comment:
- Showing a different point of view.
- Proper grammar.
- Being very informative!
- Agreement or appreciation of a point in the post
- Perhaps when people continue the conversation between the commenters and author.
- Asking people to visit your blog
- The commenter knows what they are talking about…
- No bad language and writing that you can understand.
- You both know what your talking about and putting more posts on
- No mean comment although you can disagree with others comments and posts
- When the commenter can relate to your post.
- If they have a blog of their own, so you can go and visit it.
- When they ask a question and you can reply back to keep them coming back to the blog.
- Suggestions of where next or a different direction or……..
- Perhaps a comment or question to move the conversation on or get others responding
- Furthers the discourse and fosters community growth and connection.
What five reasons do you think would make a good comment on your blog and why? Perhaps you could write a post about this very topic.
