All these time I have been talking about wordpress and I know it’s time to give some love to Blogspot bloggers. I started my Blogging journey from a blogspot blog and I understand how hard it’s to get comments on blogspot blog.
We have already covered few topics for Blogspot bloggers , that include
9 Killer Blogspot SEO tips for bloggers, you can read more at 7 Useful posts for Blogspot bloggers.
Recently I talked about Why I hate captcha in WordPress and blogspot Blog comments. But in Blogspot it is more than Captcha, In most cases I have seen blogspot blog not taking advantage of embed comments after blogspot blog post, though this will not guarantee the great increment in number of comments but at least it will give a boost to your blogspot blogs.
One thing which I hate about blogspot blog comment box is it’s not as friendly as wordpress comment form, where we can simply fill the form, comment and hit submit. Probably that’s why I could not reciprocate comment on blogspot blog.
Here are few things which you can do to increase your blogspot comments number and this will be more like boosting your blog authority.
Disqus is my first choice and first thing I will say that you should implement in your blogspot blog, since it’s easy to comment on Disqus powered comment form. It’s social media integration will prompt users to add more comments and you will see more comments in your blogspot blog posts.
Discus integration is easy and you can get all the support from Disqus team to integrate it into your blog.
Intense debate
Intense debate is my second choice after Disqus, it also makes the commenting very easy and more over Easy comment addon, support it, so people using this add-on, will find it very easy to comment. See my previous post on Intense debate : WordPress style comment for blogspot blog

Dofollow
Make your blog comment dofollow and show a badge about it. This will make sure you get lots of comments, though you might need to moderate your comments tightly but this is a clear win-win situation for you and for your commentator. To make your blogspot blog comment nofollow free, read my previous post on How to make blogspot comment form dofollow.
Personally I have seen blogs getting 3x more comments after installing comment luv into their blog. Every one love a link back to their post and blog visibility, Comment luv plugin pull up the last blog post from commentator blog and show below his comment. Again this is a great way to boost your blog comments.
I’m not saying to implement all of them above, but if you really want to see 2X more comment (Ignoring 0 ) , you should at least install Disqus and comment luv on your blog.
I’m sure those who have read and know about why commenting is important for your blog, will love to comment on your blog after this.
Do let us know after making changes in your blogspot blog, and of course your experience , if this simple changes made your blog more comment friendly or not?

Making do follow your blogspot blog will definitely rise comments. I will make my blog do follow soon.
Rahul also keep in mind it will increase spam, so try to keep it moderate and more over try to integrate Disqus in your blog..That will be helpful for us to give instant comment.
I agree with you Harsh!
yeah very informative yesterday i was reading goole’s Seo official guide and they do mentioned about do follow and found it useful and I use disqus which is great comment replacement for blogger and Above all i personally feel making personal relations and reading others blogs and commenting on them will also help a lot nice post CHEERS!!! mate
Thanks for your comment Kalyan and its great that you are following all the above method. Welcome to Shoutmeloud and hope to see you soon here.
harsh, Is there any widget like CommentLuv for blogger blog which shows most recent post in the comment?
Avi yes comment luv is also available for blogspot blogs…
Thnx Harsh for sharing this information. viewers of my blog always tell me to make commenting easy. bt i never knew hw to do it. bt nw i think i can make it easy for my viewers.
thnx again
Great Loveish do let us know when you have implemented the new commenting system.
Disqus is very helpful in case of blogspot blogs and the most important thing is that you can follow a commentator on disqus if he is posting comments using his disqus ID. That way you can check all comments posted by him using his ID. Nice post Harsh, really appreciated.
Yes, you are right Disque is really very helpful. But the only disadvantage of disqus is if you remove it or decide not to use it all the comments also disappears.
Avi I’m not sure about Blogspot but in wordpress, I think you will not lose the comments even after removing it…
Now i will remove captcha from my blog. I think i should not add captcha untill my blog becomes popular enough to face spam.
Great Shekhar! Do come back and let us know if this work for you or its still the same.
Hey dear this article is really very nice for me. I already install disqus comment form on my blog and I like that you also mention about it on this article, Although I did not install comment love on my blog. I will also install comment love on my blog. Thank you lots.
Commenting is a really tough job
Thats the Main reason why less people comment….
Deb I might disagree with it. Every one need something relevent to comment on and more over commenting is reciprocal .
Thanks, for the article Harsh
. I have blogspot blogs and will make it dofollow soon.
I am using discus on my blog..Still so many spams in my old blog..only few genune comments..
Nice post, yes many people have reviewed disqus on blogspot blogs in terms of the improved commenting features that it provides.
Thanks for the tips Harsh!
So to be clear..you can use Disqus with Comment luv at the same time?
Good article, you are very thourogh. Good job telling everyone about making blogspot links do-follow.
Disqus powered comment form. It’s social media integration will prompt users to add more comments and you will see more comments in your blog spot blog posts.
Thanks for sharing .Definitely making do follow blog will increase comments. I will make my do follow blog through your blogspot.
Intense Debate supports comment luv as a plugin! But not sure whether Disqus has comluv plugin or not! Have you checked that it works on Disqus?
I have tried both Disqus and IntenseDebate. I highly recommend IntenseDebate. You can read my experience and comparison of the two here: http://webypedia.com/blog/disqus-versus-intense-debate-which-should-webypedia-use
It has been found to increase comments and the community spirit for the thousands of blogs that have installed it. With a simple install you will immediately start to find new and interesting blog posts, tweets and diggs from your own blog and community.
Thanks @linkmoko for dropping by and adding more value to this post.
I read this entire post and each and every link. I found them so very helpful and informative, indeed! I will make sure to apply all that you advised. Thank you for all the valuable help!
Great post Bridget. I have tried posting on do follow blogs before and apparently I was not doing it right. Posting with keywords and with a noticeable image makes much more sense and are great ideas.
Heya Harshad,
Thanks for the wonderful post, there is a question actually i have integrated disqus comment system on my blog, i wanted to know if i can have comluv and disqus together if yes plz let me know how?
Thanks
Ravi
Hello,
I love the whole idea about Commentluv and especially IntenseDebate as I’ v been blogging on blogger. But, I was not able to update it trough template as it could not be parsed. Therefore I installed a widget which works fine, but has limitation. Still I want to have a template. Anyone can help?
I have recently installed Disqus on my blogger blog, but just found out that all comments made in Disqus are nofollow by default. There are ways around this with scripts and all, but in the end, would it just be easier to install something like commentluv, which is dofollow by default? What would be the most beneficial for your ammount of comments and views of your blog?
I have a question – does comLuv / Intense debate obliterate comments already on your blog? I have allot of comments and I don’t want to install something that wipes them out.
great post,thanks for your share,that`s very useful,i have 2 blog on blogspot and wordpress,but seems the comment on blogspot is less than wordpress
