Are you using Site Comments?
Last Update: March 02, 2018


Hey everyone!

I am curious how many of you are using the Site comments feature here at WA.

It seems to have came to a very slow crawl, lately and I am just wondering if people here are not taking advantage of this feature.

I use it every day and it is a very important part of how I rank on Google.

Do we have a need for a tutorial on how to use this feature properly? I would be glad to create one if needed.

I urge you to take advantage of this and the Site Feedback feature also if you are not already using them as it can really help boost a websites ranking!

As usual I want to hear from you!

Leave any questions or comments in the comment section below :)

When I first started out with SiteComments, comments came in thick and fast. But just recently, it does seem to be slowing down.

Last week I requested 8 comments across 3 reviews ASAP, but almost 7 days later, I'm still waiting for the last 2 to arrive lol.

It's either some members aren't pulling their weight to make the system work or there are too many members still using the comment threads.

I think the comment threads need to go and more folks encouraged to use SiteComments :)

maybe that would help. 7 days is way too long to wait.

I agree that if the comment thread was gone, people would have no other choice but to use SiteComments.

I know we can purchase credits, but I usually offer comments to earn credits. I wish it wasn't 2 for 1. I think you can still require a certain length of the comment, maybe require a question to be asked, and not have to offer 2 to get 1.

I think that is why people use the thread instead, no credits required.

It would give SC a big boost :)

Yeah threads are a lot easier. SC should change to a 1 - 1 ratio. More people will start using the feature a lot more then. :)

I use it occasionally which, in hindsight I should use it more. I just get aggravated at some people who fail to return the favor. I mean, it would to be their benefit reading other blogs, getting insight to the different writing skills that other bloggers are using and maybe, just maybe, learn something useful.
I will start using it more. Thank you for The reminder.

I understand the one-sided part. I incorporated it into my websites daily and it does make a difference.

I am with you Shawn. Use it every chance I get. Have noticed, lately that it is kind of spotty, gets real slow. I just put it off as my slow internet connection!
