1,000 Comments, Trackbacks, And Pingbacks

by Deneil Merritt on July 19, 2009

I really did not think I was going to make this post so early. Can you believe it? 1,000 comments with a little over 40 posts. What are the odds of getting so many comments? I know I try to replay to every comment made on my blog. So most likely at least 400 of the comments is mine but still none the less the blog as a whole has over 1,000 comments. Building a community for your blog is no easy task but it can be done.

I want to thank all of you whom made a comment. I do not care if its one comment. I thank you for stopping by and making a comment. I know time is money and your time is very value able. So I will keep this post very short.

This is my 43th post and have over 1,000 comments. It truly is a milestone to complete. Next milestone to reach with comments is 5,000 comments. I wonder how fast it will come up. At this rate it will be at my 215th post for 5,000 comments. Maybe I can do it less than 200 posts.

I’m averaging around 30 comments per blog post. Lowest amount of comments on a blog post here is around 10 – 20 comments while the highest amount of comments on a blog post is 60+ comments. These numbers make me so happy to know that all of you have no fear about speaking your minds about any topic I throw at you.

I feel that blog posts are one sided conversions until you make your comment and the real conversion begins. We get to teach other things and speak on our views to each other. Even if we agree or not, at the end of the day we are still friends.

Thank you once again for reading what I got to say.

Wow, you have reached 1,000 comments so quickly. Thats a great accomplishment. Keep up the great posts and I’m sure you will be heading towards 10,000 soon.

I still can’t believe it, it took me ages to reach 1,000 comments.

I only got 422 comments for 3 months blogging. Hope I’ll reach a better amount soon. I’m wondering how much comment top bloggers like John Chow have…

Nice job. Having so many comments on a small amount of posts means that your posts are very good and interesting for the readers. Keep it going.

Congrats Deneil! Your blog is only 2 months old and you’re able to achieve it in short period, it’s really cool to see. But I can see your aggressive in building community and posting article in daily basis, keep it up and I think you’ll achieve 5000 comments soon!

Wow bro very impressive indeed, 1000 comments in only 43 posts is pretty bad ass. You will have more comments by the time you reach your 150th post than I will when I hit my 750th.

Crazy!

Great milestone, wish I could reach 1,000….maybe I should add it to my goals list:)

Reply

Deneil Merritt August 19, 2009 at 8:59 am

If it’s on the goal list, you will reach it. If you don’t place it on the goal list than it will take a long time to reach it.

Do more blog commenting and networking with other bloggers. I am sure comments will rise. I have no idea how many he has. He gets around 20 or comments per post.
