It's a fact: the standard Wordpress commenting feature is one of the most powerful tools that can help you to build engagement.
It doesn't require a complex learning curve, it can be easily improved (in many different ways), and more importantly, will help you to bring the users back and keep them engaged.
Still, the commenting feature is also one of the most neglected Wordpress features ...
As I already mentioned in one of my previous tutorials, while we are talking about complex sales funnels, awesome lead generation tools, etc, we tend to forget the most obvious solutions ...
And that's wrong ... Without user engagement, there is no success ...
And needless to say, there are many different methods that can help you to improve and efficiently leverage the default Wordpress commenting system. I've already published several tutorials on this topic ... If you haven't seen them yet, here they are again:

As you can see, there are many simple yet efficient tricks ...
And recently I've discovered another simple method that will help you to bring the users back to your website ... I'm talking about thank you emails sent to your commenters. It's a simple yet efficient method that will ...
- encourage users to come back and see what’s new since they last commented on your website
- reinforce your brand image in the user’s mind
- boost user engagement, and improve your conversions through increased return visits
- help you to build your email list
- help you to re-engage even users who aren't subscribed to comments!
This is is why I've decided to create this short tutorial where I will show you how easy is to send a thank you email to your blog commenters in Wordpress.
