Plugins to Promote Blog Commenting

by TCrosby

So I am launching my first blog that I really intend to make a long-term authority site.

I don't know why it didn't hit me before, but I have a topic that I am very passionate about and has like a million monetization possibilities.

Because I want this to be a social, sticky, blog that readers keep coming back to, I need the comments section to be healthy and active.

What is the best way to promote this?
What are the best plugins to use?

    Make it easy for them to post a comment. "Facebook Comments" is pretty sweet because it allows anyone who has a facebook profile to comment using their facebook account. It make the comment section come alive because of the user profile pics and the fact that most everyone has facebook. Its relatable. As for making them want to comment, make sure your content is very good. Possibly ask for feedback at the end of each post. Post about a debatable topic. Hope this helps

    Get commentluv. This plugin will encourage other bloggers to leave comments since once they comment, their latest post will show. I get a lot of comments this way and it's very effective. Another important plugin to have is the facebook comments plugin. This will build you a strong social media presence since every comment will be posted on the commenter's wall. So combine these 2 and you will have an interactive blog. If you want to learn how to install the fb comments on a wp blog, let me know. I made a free training on that.
