I thinks comments on blogs are a good way of interacting with your reader, like what mark is doing.

I think the chicklets are useful for your own quick daily review of popularity, but I don't imagine many visitors take any notice of them. Coasts last blog post..Sardinian warbler seen at Brixham reserve

Comments on a blog really show how strong the community is surrounding the blog. The number of readers is more like a subscription to a newsletter that maybe no one really writes back to. When you consider how many people really write a letter back to the editor of a newspaper, comments on blogs are really amazing. This was the first I heard about the iReply movement and think it's pretty cool. Replying keeps the conversation going. Thanks for the insights.

I think these kind of tools are very useful. I mean, you'll make more subscribers/comments or whatever by doing this. People are sheep, they will go if they see that someone has already done it. I mean if the RSS subscriber count would show 0, I bet my ass that people won't sign up to it, because they see the number of zero, and they will think "oh shit, nobody has subscribed, there must be something wrong with this blog, I'm leaving". But if there are for example already 1k subscribers then people will think "Oh yeah, 1k already ! There must be something useful on this blog, I'll sign up right away". That's why I advice to show only the count of subscribers or whatever if you have a decent amount of them. Cheers, TheMoneyac TheMoneyacs last blog post..Pumping the water

Thanks for you ideas about commenting on other blogs. Search Engines always change their algorithm. And after apply a new algorithm, there will be winners and losers. I believe another source of traffic is more stable: relative. Yep, commenting on other blogs is the best way to make new friends, to find more ideas for writing posts.
