Comments - Should They Be Allowed On Blogs?
Should you allow comments to be made on your blog? I have read that some blog are better off without comments and the subscription rate actually increase. However, I disagree with turning off the comment system and it should be left on and here is why I believe that.
1. Commenting is the Best Way For Readers to Communicate With You
With your comment system, you allow your readers to easily communicate with you and give their opinions. You will have to deal with spam and negative comments, but rarely do you get those and there is plug-in to delete spam anyway. Without comments, the only way your readers can talk to you is via email and I am sure that you know people rarely respond to you via email.
