Website comments make the difference to your success and the continued recognition of your page ranking among its peers. An important lesson
A forgotten art
We all like to be praised for our great work and that is basically what your comments are doing. However they also tell you what you are doing wrong or not doing should they be honest in their response.
I decided to write this post because it is a task that most web masters forget and it is important in several ways.
- All comments add to your word count and the higher the count the more Mr Google likes you. For instance I received a comment on my recent post that included 140 words

A well-informed article which I appreciate! I can’t say enough about having good training to show you the proper way and support from experts to critique and give feedback on your progress. I for one am still very grateful to the Wealthy Affiliate platform, Kyle and Carson, and the other trainers who without them I would not have the success I am having! I also want to throw a word of caution to those just starting out to do thorough research to ensure you are not wasting your time with platforms that are short on delivering what you need! You can waste a lot of time and money if you are not careful. I hope this encourages your readers to take the plunge into online business as you and I know just how life-changing it can be.
What you, nor anyone else will know is that I paid for the comment. Is it legal or even moral to admit such a breach of the rules. let me explain.
First of all every comment demands a response and the longer the response the better the result. I cut this short to about 60 words

My response
Thanks Rina, and yes I agree that Wealthy Affiliate is more than just a pit stop but a long term location to provide a whole range of products that we can use and to market.
They are an extremely fair and honest approach to the internet world filled with scammers wanting to take your money.

Nearly every post I do I seek comments, occasionally I might not agree with them but hey that is part of the game.
* You build credibility and Authority
Now both of these are viewed highly by Google and really help your ranking. Authority internal, external and back links provide great SEO juice that will do wonders for your page position.
* Credible Feedback to help self improvement
As I said, not every comment is complementary however that is not what I am looking for. I want feedback on my content, my set out and the views I present. All of us like a pat on the back but a kick in the rear also tells us something. It goes toward self improvement.
Website comments make the difference to your success taken further
Taking this a step Further in google search
As a business owner I have a business listing on Google. This shows your name and address, web page, opening hours etc.
Importantly it lists customer comments and a 5 star listing gives you credence in the market.
They show the top five comments and this works to bring you on page one of a search term.
Wo is me, I had no comments so I needed to lift my game.
My customer base is several hundred customers in this business so I sent them a message.
Give me a five star rating and I shall return the compliment.
Within a few minutes the job was done, I had my comments posted and I had returned the favour to those that supported me. A simple task neglected by so many.
Getting back to your website or blog posts
The old story is ask and you shall receive however it is not that simple, many are reluctant to take the time and do their bit.
At Wealthy Affiliate web hosting they have the answer. A channel contacts all members on request that are in your area of interest and seeks comments .
This means you are generally assured that you will get at least one and maybe more comments.
However there is a cost.
Give two comments and earn a free one.
Therefore it is a give and receive program with a benefit to both people.
Furthermore you can pay money for comments if you really want to work the system.
They actually have two programmes going. One is commenting on a post the other on your website so the choice is yours.
I am careful about posts that have a lot of outside affiliate links because that is not the reason behind the scheme. Therefore I am selective in what I use.
Well yes, it is working the system but in a good way, anyone can post what they want however you are in control with a delete and spam button. You are not obliged to accept rubbish.
This system really builds your empire
On this blog site I have about 270 individual post and over 370 valid comments helping every part of my work. We all forget to ask for comments as often as we do request that they give feed back.
Now I can ask for your feedback as there is a section at the bottom for you to vent all your pent up emotions. Tell me what you think and I would love to reply. I will even share the favour so don't be shy.
My conclusion on comments
This is not just part of the game it is a real force in SEO improvement.
We sometimes talk about the 10x effect. That is make a 1% change to ten different things to get a far greater result.
Comments are just part of your overall growth strategy that really deserves your respect.
That 1% can make a difference.
Thank you for reading and now just ask and you shall receive.
