		<description>I totally agree with number 2, if you can comment on other blogs and be topical (i.e. add value to the bloggers post) then it can be suprising how many clicks you get from those comments.  Well worth the time invested and it helps to build relationships.</description>

		<description>Hmm... I may see your point Justin, I never thought of it that way but you are right... if you don&#039;t ask for comments the one you get will be A+ probably, but also if you ask for comments maybe it draws out the quieter readers and helps people that wouldn&#039;t normally interact start a conversation. I will tell you what though... I will try both angles and get back to you on which results in A. more comments and B. better quality comments.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cheers!</description>

		<description>Great Suggestions Maren!  I have done a few of those with some good success, but it also reminded me of a few more items I&#039;d like to try.  Getting guest posters is on my To-Do List.</description>

		<description>Hi Maren, Just letting you know I&#039;m still out there and still reading.  I&#039;ve been writing consistently on my blog.  I recently got contacted from a larger blog who wants to reprint or repost one of my blogs.  With any luck I&#039;ll get a boost in traffic.  I&#039;d love for comments to start cropping up too.  I&#039;ve got lots of reading to do about how to make this blogging gig work for me.  Your point about using freelance writing as a means to start a consultancy is something I&#039;m trying to figure out.  Thanks for the tips.</description>

		<description>Maren-&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Regarding you number 2 above.  Do you find that if you ask for comments you get more comments?  The reason I ask, is that a lot of people state to do that in their posts, and to be honest I&#039;m not a fan of it.  I&#039;d rather the blog be &quot;comment worthy&quot; than have to ask for comments?  Does that make sense or am I just being too cynical?  By the way your blogs are comment worthy.</description>

		<description>I thought number two was a good one. I never thought of commenting to generate the interest of others. I just do it because in the next few months I will be doing the blog thing and I would like to have enough internet friends to read my material, pretty selfish huh? Seriously this was a great post. I look forward to more.</description>
