You know, I never really thought about this. I am a quick reader (I was an English teacher for years, so I learned to get through papers fast), so I tend to move through sites with more speed than most. I'm going to make a concerted effort to keep websites open a little longer when I visit. Thanks for this, Ian.

And instead of just leaving the tab open while you grab some coffee, check out a few other pages/posts as well. Doesn't Google also look at entry/exit pages?

Great continuation of an important subject! :)

Hey Ian, great discussion. The more this issue of leaving a quality comment is mentioned in the blogs, the more members will become aware, informed and educated on the most helpful way to leave a comment.

Thanks for posting!

Great post, I totally agree!

I always surf around a site to reduce the bounce rate, I think that'll help too, when you see several pages

This is a great idea Ian... and ...I must +1 you on your mention of leaving quality comments. We've all been through the training or are in the midst of it and we are in a position to be able to see what the main focus of the post is that we are commenting on. It's good practice to at least drop more than two sentences of "quality" comments where we can include a helpful keyword related to the post.

Thanks for sharing that piece of information. I'll definitely be sure to use it when the time comes.
