Blog with no comments

INTERNET MARKETING

I have a tutorial blog that's been out for a couple of months that is getting a few hundred visits per month, but I find that I'm not getting anyone to leave comments.

Could I inadvertently be making it difficult? I'm using wordpress and I have made it so anyone can post, so I've removed that limitation.

Is there a way to get/encourage people to comment, or do I just need to wait it out?

Thanks.

It always depends on market and how you present your content. If you say everything in your tutorial user won't have anything to say except "thanks"

So your tutorial should be comprehensive BUT not complete

Promote it on forums.

Ask people to comment or ask questions and then answer their questions. Have a conversation, especially one that adds to the content of the post, and people will join in.

You can use dofollow and comment luv plugins to encourage comments but most will be junk comments that you'll have to moderate out.

Comment meaningfully on other people's blogs, especially within your niche.

If all else fails, create your own comments with aliases to stimulate conversation.
