Do You Use The Like Button.

No I am not talking about Facebook, but here in WA. Have you noticed the like and reply links on the WA blog?

I hope you have. What do they mean? when you want to reply to a comment just click the reply link. If you do this your comment will trigger an email to the writer of the post to let them know you have made a comment.

When an email is received they get a link in their email direct to your comment. This means they will be able to reply to you as soon as they see the WA email.

What about the like button? Does it serve any purpose? It is one of the components of the algorithm to give the WA ranking system. If you are not using the like link you are likely to have people not liking your comments.

The general idea is if you appreciate what is written in the post then you let the author know by clicking the like link. The author will probably like your comment.

I have noticed several commenters and authors not using the like link recently. It will help your ranking if you use the link.

Yes my friend I always hit like if I like the blog, and 99% of the time I give a reply. But I have noticed some people have liked my blog and they have not gave a reply and it's been a couple times people have responded in a positive way however they did not like it. May you have a wonderful day.

That is always a problem Earl.

Derek

I like this a lot 😀
No seriously, I always like any comments given on posts I write- I think it’s the least you can do for someone who has taken the time to write a comment.
Is there credit given to both the person who gives the like as well as the person receiving it?

The like is given to the person receiving the like David.

Yes, it is important to use the like link. It is one of the ways we can help each other, because that click on "like" helps our ranking. My mentor informed me shortly after I started to click that button, every time. In fact, if the post is something you do not want to answer because you know nothing about the subject, you can still click the "you like this". That will help the person, too.

Certainly Fran. I have just noticed some people not bothering at the moment.

Derek

New people often don't realize the importance of clicking on "like." I know I didn't at first.

Very true Fran. I hope some of them see the post.

Derek

I only just started using the like button and I wonder if there is a feature where a post from a follower or someone your following can be tracked by you?

I can only wonder for now but what I have been doing is adding blogs like a journal for my followers if they have any questions not being answered for some reason and that is the reason why I do follows and likes and getting to meet new people can be exciting here.

The only way I know of checking is going to the article and checking each comment.
