7. Respond to the Invitation

When you invite others to comment on your blog, be polite and reply to their comments. If your audience notices you are paying attention to their comments, they will be more likely to return to your website again.

Do not worry about dealing with off-topic or negative comments. Having a discussion can help you get closer to your readers.

8. Comment on Other Industry-Related Blogs

Be visible on blogs that are related to your expertise. Comment on other posts with similar topics to yours. People will be interested to read what you have written about the subject if you interact with other blogs.

You shouldn’t use these comments to promote your products or services. This can cause more irritation to people that visit your site.

9. Don't Hide Your Content

Are you displaying ads on your site? Are you using email opt-in pop-ups that prevent your visitors from finding your content? If so, you need to consider whether blog engagement is really your goal. You should remove or restructure it so they don't interfere with your content.

Because of the many ad servers that the site must connect to, some elements won't load. They not only obscure the content but also slow down page load times, which leads to more people abandoning pages than engaging with them.
