Yep. I agree with your conclusion. Different beasts, different approaches.

1. I am getting awesome extensive comments at my blog. Am I doing something wrong? Oh wait, I am getting those commetns because my readers know I am willing to speak with them.

When you reply to person who wrote ten words next time he might write hundred. You never know.

2. Ignoring new face/first time commenter who had been lurking for months reading your blog because he visits daily anyway and has no need to subscribe to comments.

Great plan to ensure lurkers won’t comment ever again.

3. I fail to see anything wrong about number of comments per post – big or small either.

4. Don’t really get what this has to do with (not) replying to comments.

Overall I think you are mixing together spam and real comments. Spam must be dealt with, comments must be handled. Different beasts, different approaches.

hey thanks Ms.

you can always exclude your name in the top commentator by modifying its setting.

yep, well spam comments are pretty easy to determine by their IP and url but in my case i get comments like “great post” or “nice article” from fellow bloggers in this niche so I don’t think I should delete it

I am soo in the same boat Melvin. Before, I reply on every comments written in my blog and I end up being the top commentator in my blog which is not a good thing.

But on the other hand, it isn’t a bad thing most especially when your reader likes interaction.

Hoping for more great posts from you

Cheers,
Meg

It's a personal preference of the blogger whether to reply to every single comment received or not. I'm sure we all know which ones to reply back to and which ones not to. Jhay’s last blog post..PhotoHunt: Protect(ion)

Yea, I agree. I do right now, but when my blog gets bigger I won't. I usually just give the same quality back that I received. For example, if someone says "thanks" to a comment I will reply with "your welcome". teenwebguru’s last blog post..Promoting on Forums
