We don't just to want get more comments from our blogs. Aside from getting more visitors and increasing readership, we also want to interact with our readers and promote a healthy relationship online. But how can they convey or post their thoughts if they can't leave a comment?

There are different reasons why your reader may not be able to leave a blog comment. Among the possible reasons are:

1. Comments are closed or disable.

2. Unable to read or properly enter the recaptcha image verification or word verification.

3. The page keeps saying can't be displayed even after submitting the comment.

4. Being required to login.

5. Complicated commenting system.

Of course there are many other reasons and it vary from reader to reader. The thing in common is that they want everything to be easier. A blog reader will be more engaged if he or she can share your thoughts and be able to read his or her comment back along with your reply.

Now, with Blogger blogs/.blogspot blogs, most of them have the word verification enabled by default. While having it on can lessen spam, sometimes, it can cause pain to those who would like to post a comment. The solution is to disable the recaptcha image verification or word verification and have all comments moderated. This setting can encourage more comments and will eventually drive more traffic to your blogs.

If you are using an old Blogger interface, here is how to do it:

1. Click “Settings” on the blog you would like to modify.

2. Click on “Comments”

3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page until you see the option for “Show word verification for comments?”.

4. Choose “No”.

5. Click “Save Settings” button and that's it.

If you are using the new and updated Blogger interface, you have to switch back to the old one for you to be able to make this changes since there's no way to access this settings on the new interface. Don't worry, once you are done with this changes, you can revert back to the updated Blogger interface.

How are you guys! I know that it's been a while since my last post but it doesn't mean that I'm on a hiatus. In fact, I'm just so busy updating my other blogs, attending parties, doing my social obligations and so on.

As much as I wanted to share what's happening to my life and my work, sometimes, I'm just too lazy to blog about it. Haha. Just kidding. I have so many blogs and I'm trying not to post duplicate entries, that's why.

Well, I think I just did when I posted about APAC Team's get-together at Thai Pan. And now it's the third time I'm talking about it! What a trending topic! It just means that I'm so happy and overwhelmed with that much-awaited reunion. Exag!

Though I didn't make it early, I still had fun meeting these people once again(I was the one in cyan stripes):

Too bad, I missed the food! Haha. Had to have separate orders but I did I enjoyed my green mango shake and chicken curry.

And yeah, as the title says, this is a busy month for me. More events to come, more gifts to shop, and more work to be done! Argh!

I blogged about how Smart Bro USB Plugin Sucks last November 9, 2011 and here we go again... My 5-day UNLISURF got expired before the actual expiry time. As a result, I had to load up my Smart Bro account and registered for another 5-day unlimited surfing.

Take a look:

My UNLISURF subscription was about to expire at 6:15 PM but by 6PM, I can no longer go online.

How come I was able to register again by 6:13PM? I am supposed to get a message saying that I can't register yet since I have active subscription, right?

Why is it, that everytime my unlimited browsing subscription is about to expire, the internet connection gets crazy? Countless times! It goes out just before my UNLI's expiry?! And no, don't tell me that my PC clock is not synchronized with your time! I keep adjusting it to be synched with your system yet you keep screwing up.

If I registered at 12 noon yesterday for a one day unlimited internet, shouldn't it expire at EXACTLY 12 noon today? Not 11:45 AM, nor 11:30AM. I am trying to maximize my time and working as fast as I can before my expected expiry time, but what the hell are you doing?!

Are you milking us by cutting our subscription? You're taking more than 15 minutes of my internet connection and it means a lot to my blogging life when I'm not at home!

I have my reasons why I am using Smart Bro USB plugin and I am paying in full to get registered, so please, fix your system. I won't rant about your Customer Service and Tech Support anymore because people already know how much they stink.

I'm not sure if it's only me or everyone who has Entrecard account but I can't login to the system for two days now. I keep getting this error message:

So, what do you think is happening?

Entrecard has helped me a lot before because of the free advertising service. All you have to do is drop EC and save up for future advertising. I have more EC to spend right now. Unfortunately, I can't browse through the listed blogs because of the system error. Though Entrecard is not as popular as it used to be, I think utilizing it can still drive traffic to your blogs.

I'm done conceptualizing my personal directory and now that I've listed my blogs, I'm thinking of accepting few more interesting blogs.

Shoutmix is back! After encountering several errors with SBOX, I decided to create another account with Shoutmix. I just realized that I can now used the same email address I used before. If I remember it right, I signed up with Cbox and Sbox because Shoutmix only allows one account per email address and I was too lazy to create extra email ads.

Anyway, I just wanted to announce that my tag board is now up! So for short messages or quick comments, feel free to drop a line!

Just scroll down to the bottom of this page and you'll find the Shoutmix widget at the right side bar!

Let's chat and enjoy blog hopping!

I am analyzing my site's performance but I don't have the luxury of time to monitor Google Analytics. As much as I wanted to check and analyze my site stats, I have to attend to several online and offline obligations. While doing my Adgitize rounds, I've stumbled upon one post in the forum about bounce rate - on how Adgitize affects readership.

For a traffic exchange site, it is understandable that visitors are just passing by with high hopes that they will get the same amount of unique visitors.

I guess, we really have to invest on quality articles to keep our visitors stay and make them come back for more reads. Advertising through Adgitize it just a start - to drive traffic to our sites but it still depends on us on how we can keep the first-time visitors. :)

To decrease bounce rate, we must employ some strategies that will increase readership. After all, content is king.
