I never picked up on this until a few months ago but there is a secret, unspoken brother and sisterhood in AR...it is called the brother and sisterhood of comment reciprocation (at least that is what I just named it).
I learned this when one of the most popular bloggers on AR wrote a blog that had 200 or so comments... including mine. Even though I was 1 of 200 or so comments, he still took the time and reciprocated a comment to one of my posts in return. That was when a light turned on, it is easy to read a comment on your blog and move on but it is a great sign of respect to take the time and do the same for that person.
If you want to have successful blog posts that continually have topics that receive comments and conversation, you have to continually reciprocate comments to those people that support you as well. People that are always leaving you comments and subscribing to your blog...make sure to remember to reciprocate that back to them. I am guilty as the next person of not doing this all the time but I continually try to improve on that as well. Good luck.
