You've set up your site and a visitor left a reply.

What does that mean to you?

If you answer - Nothing and get on with writing more content I think you are missing a lot.

1. Celebrate - someone looked at your site and you connected with them enough for them to write a comment.

2. A comment might give some insight as to how your material is perceived by your viewers. feel encouraged, do more of the same or make adjustments as necessary.

3. The viewer may be telling you something about themselves. Knowing your visitor gives you the opportunity understand their individual needs and so help them more effectively.

Is it worth your time replying?

Yes! If you don't you are missing even more.

1. You are letting them know a real person is behind the site. This will increase their level of trust in you. Increasing the possibility of further contact, site views and sales!

2. A prompt reply indicates that the site is active, so the material is fresh. Again developing trust. They might be prepared to reveal more of their needs. (You know how useful you will find that! :-)

3. Replying gives you the opportunity to continue their involvement with your site by asking relevant questions. The more you can find out about their needs the better you can help them. If you can include some personal experience so much the better for developing trust.
