Hi Barb. There's nothing silly about your post. In fact it's very informative and interesting. Jim

It seems that to get into the top ten you will need around 30 odd comments. If you can keep your readers engaged it helps. Jim

Exactly, it's the amount of comments and likes in a 24 hour period.

Hi Jim!
Now this kind comment has me smiling!
Thanks for that Jim...much appreciated!
Barb

Perfect...good to know!

Thank you Jim!

Awe...mystery solved!
Thank you Stella...Barb

Engaging away....

And these likes and comments coming from all of you are greatly appreciated!
I now need to go to your WA Blog on your Profile Page and do some reciprocating!

Hi Alex!
As always, my ever-supportive and commenting ambassador friend delivers some much needed hand-holding and engagement all the while laced with gentle wit!
Thank you so so much!
Barb

PS Definitely Not Quitting!

Lol. I'm quitting will get the numbers for sure. Jim

When did WA start offering .info domain sales? That's great to know...thank you Alex!

Just recently, not widely publicized, I read a post about it.

As always .... Alex on the cutting edge here at WA!

Fun and addictive isn’t it?

It certainly is Barb. I just purchased one today and it was immediately valued over $900. Of course it isn't really worth that much until it is actually sold. Jim

Question: So you created a Domain name here at WA I presume? Will you share with us how you assessed the value...ie at which website? And I'm assuming the Domain has not yet got any website content created? And that you have targeting an in-demand niche??? Will you keep it and sell it with content in 6-12 months and charge thousands? I hope so!!!
Thanks again Jim!

In general the visits to comments ratio is much lower than visits to likes ratio. It's easier to hit a like button than it is for somebody to take time out of their day to write a comment.

One of the top tips to make your content engaging is to make sure it flows. Read it back through as if you are somebody brand new just discovering the article. Does it keep you reading? Does each sentence keep you looking for the next? If you get the reader all the way down to the bottom, near to the comment box then you are much more likely to cause them to create a comment :)

Hi Barbra,

Over the years I have come to realize, interesting content and engagement with the reader within your content will get you the most comments.

Ask your readers:

if they too have experienced what you are writing about
if they would share what they know on the subject
what they think about the subject you are writing about
where they learned how to do something (a teacher or a place)
was it hard to adapt to some change

Let your audience know their comments are welcome, while encouraging them to leave a least some sort of reply, and where they can leave them.

"Anything that you would like to add or say about this topic is always welcomed because no matter how wise we are; we can always learn something new that can help others achieve new heights. So please, by all means, leave a comment below so we can all learn from and share your success together."

Also, ask for comments here on the platform (Site-Comments) sometimes it takes a produced comment to encourage others to leave organic comments. Until someone else leaves that first comment other readers are reluctant to leave theirs.

Inspire to continue the conversation more is not something that most can master over a year or two it sometimes takes a lifetime to get a person to open up, add to, or contribute to your material.

Hope this helps, Calvin

Thank you so much Dale for your kind and thorough analysis!
Unfortunately I am bedridden with severe Parkinson’s Disease so I’m really lucky if I can tap out a few crazy thoughts once in awhile! I just keep on keepin’ on!
