Should you fake comment on your blog?

Fake commenting is a habit that I see a lot of bloggers get into. Whether it is intentional or not. I don’t know. But I know that I have seen quite a few bloggers do it. I will not name anyone just so I don’t start a war of words.

What is Fake Commenting?

Spam commenting that authors often do. When they reply to each comment in a hope to start a long conversation. Or sometimes they comment with two different names.

My Question is be honest. How many of you have done that? Was it Intentional? When did you realize it?

Why Do people Fake Comment?

Often times when bloggers start their blog. They don’t receive a lot of comments. I mean I have some awesome posts that I have written in the past. Which receive excellent SE traffic, but still doesn’t have half as much comments as some of my popular posts. Often times bloggers feel discouraged. So they start running up their comment count.

Another Reason why bloggers fake comment is because they think it will make a good impression on readers. And it will make the reader comment. Which will increase the comment count even more. Your blog will look more lively.

Balkhis Answer

I will be honest and say yeah I did it. It was never intentional because I never commented from another person’s name. I would just reply to each comment even when I don’t really needed to. But I realized it when I first installed top commentator’s plugin. And saw that I was ranked at #1 and I had twice as high comments as my reader. I removed myself from the top commentator’s list. Then I realized. I don’t need to reply to each of my reader’s comment. Just reply to the one that I find necessary. Even though it is tempting. But you have to make a choice.

Alternatives to Fake Comment?

I mean fake commenting takes time. So what can you do in that time if you stop fake commenting. OO yea why don’t you use that time for something else.

  • Write more posts. So for instance writing 7 posts a week. Make it 8 posts a week.
  • Comment on other blogs. Get in their top commentator and take advantage.
  • Join Forums, and be active there. Derive traffic from there.

Now tell me have you fake commented on your blog. Share your ideas. What did you do to avoid it?

War of Browsers – And how it is effecting the websites

So a few years back the only real browser designers and web developers really worried about was Internet Explorer. Now even though IE is still the majority, there is too much competition. Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome. So now designers like me and webmasters like you have to worry about all these 4 browsers. Now it doesn’t end here. These 4 have their versions. Like IE 6, 7, and 8. Firefox 2 and 3. I mean all of them are still widely used, so which one should you design for. Features that work on newer versions, does not work on older versions. So how exactly do you make it compatible, or how do you go about it?

Know your users and their preferences

User's Browser PreferenceIt is pretty simple. Monitor your users and see which browsers they are using. And then determine your priorities. I can assure you that if you are running a webmaster related blog, most likely your users are using Firefox. But you can check this simply head over to AWStats, or your stat tracker. Then find the browser area. In AWStats simply just scroll down and there will be a screen that will look like the picture attatched here.

Know your Competitors

Your service will not be the best if your competitor is offering something that you don’t have. So always check your competitor’s website. See how many browsers are they compatible with. If they are all bad, then check one of the better websites around. Your customers will compare you to sites like amazon and others because they use those so often. So make sure that you got this area covered.

Well now by evaluating the two you should already know which browsers you want your site compatible with. I suggest you make it compatible with ALL BROWSERS. Even though [Read the whole Post]
