It helps to evaluate these stats. I'm sure, if you are a blogger, you have experienced this. You watch your stats and wonder who is reading your posts. The only way for you to get feedback is for readers to comment. So, my theme for my posts this week will be a tribute to blog commenters . . . .
Thanks to all of you who regularly visit my blog!
Thanks to those who comment!!
I appreciate everyone of you, even those who don't comment.

It's always nice to receive comments just to know that someone read your post.
It is nice to receive comments, but I also understand that it is REALLY hard to read and comment on every blog every day. If I spend over an hour visiting blogs, that's an hour I need to make up somewhere else in my day if I am going to keep up with my work and family obligations. So, if I don't comment, it is not that I didn't like the post--it usually means I'm in a time crunch.
I would file this under "simple little facts of life". Today, it seems, everyone is in a hurry, over committed, way too casual....
Turn the lemons into lemonade by searching out more places to publish your blog.
I get the same thing with my blog...a lot more visitors than commenters.
I always wonder if part of it is web bots or spiders giving us false hits?
I try not to let the difference between how many read and how many comment on my blog to get to me....but it does! I am just thrilled that anyone wants to read it! So thank you too!
I have really noticed a downturn in comments on my blog over the last few years. I really believe it might have something to do with people doing a lot of reading on tablets and phones these days -- it's so much harder to comment on those devices. But I know what you mean; comments are so important, otherwise you think you might be talking to yourself!!
I noticed I received more comments when I read more blogs and commented on them . I used to have a daily routine and going through my blog feed...but rarely have the time now.
I think having more readers than commenters is just the nature of blogging. Mine has always been the same way. It seems like the people who comment the most are other bloggers because they understand the work that goes into each post. If I share the post or pictures somewhere else (like Facebook), that's where I get the comments from non-bloggers. It's interesting!
Besides the blogs I visit regularly, mostly fellow teammates, I don't comment very often. I've used many a blog post for it's recipe or tutorial and not commented, but I love the interaction from the fellow bloggers I follow. It's neat getting to know different lives all over the world this way, so I try to make pertinent comments.
