		<description>I really thought your comments about why we should leave a comment was useful. This is a whole new way of marketing and its helpful to know what and why to take action.
 
You must type quickly as I see a lot of typos, doesn&#039;t matter does it on a blog?.</description>

		<description>Cool post! I have to say that I agree with 100% of these tips. I usually comment to give bloggers a boost if I see that they have empty articles. 

For larger blogs, though, I admit that it&#039;s all about the link building.</description>

		<description>Hi Neil,

Thanks for this very useful post. Beside being a nice gesture (if done correctly). Leaving a comment for a newbie can alternatively help him so Google indexes his site faster.</description>

		<description>Thanks for taking the first step to leave this comment, you are adding to the converstation with your point about being shy, does anyone else reading this feel self concious about leaving a comment?  It&#039;s not something I do, but sometimes I have felt I did not want to leave a comment because my knowledge may not be at a level to respond correctly.

Nice blog btw check out &lt;a href=&quot;easyandtastyfood.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;easyandtastyfood.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Hey WPD,

Overall great blog - thanks for the info. I especially like this post about leaving comments. I am somewhat shy and so often feel self-conscious leaving comments, esp since most bloggers know this is one of the most important ways to build links, so I think the blogger might suspect me of leaving a comment only for this reason -- in otherwords, it seems sel-promoting. But thinking of it as good karma as you suggest is a far better way to view leaving comments - thanks for the this.

		<description>Thanks again Dude, one question: How do I mark a comment no follow?
  And just a note, I&#039;m not really promoting my blog since I&#039;m currently just using it to learn how. Still I must have left a decent comment somewhere on July 5th because my blog had 50 page views that day and I seldom have 20.
  Your links are way more helpful than self-promoting, that&#039;s why I follow you on Twitter when I refuse to follow so many others!!
   Now go tickle those kids. . . the endorphins are good for both!!</description>

		<description>Thanks so much for sharing this info.  I never knew how intricate the process of blogging can be and how important it is to stay consistent and persistent.  I&#039;m learning quite a bit from you, keep up the great work!!</description>

		<description>@Willis. I think you are right. I just read this post and so really I should comment on it. It&#039;s only polite. I rarely get comments (from anyone besides my Mum) but it&#039;s possibly because I&#039;m a comment snob. I read but rarely comment. Well, that&#039;s changing right now ;) As WP Dude says, commenting is good karma - especially if you got good info out of a post that you may actually use yourself. Also good to see WP Dude&#039;s writing style isn&#039;t so &quot;Rah Rah!&quot; as so many of these Blogs can be. Not everything is all &quot;fluffy and positive&quot;. We need more light and shade in our BLOGs, otherwise, they effectively read like adverteese. Who needs more of that?</description>
