More Comments = Successful Blog ?

Everyone has different opinions especially when it comes to judge a successful blog / personal website. Some people like to say a successful blog can be seen by the number of comments that it get on it’s post. While some other think successful blog / personal website can be seen by the number of unique visitors or pageviews (depend on your perspective about this) daily

In my opinion, a successful blog can’t be judged by the number of comments he / she was getting on each article / post because :

  • You as the blog author can post comment on your blog post so other people also want to get involved in the discussion itself
  • Depending on your audience and your post, not everyone like to post comment unless he / she feel necessary (well .. actually i’m like this, although i’ve joined a lot of forum, communities site, etc i don’t like to post anything)
  • Disable your anti spam plugin and let those spammer comment on each of your post (it’d be better if you strip all the url first)
  • and many other

And now i think you’ve got the basic idea, so why do you think more comments = lots of traffic that leads to successful blog ? Because in my opinion a successful blog / personal website = lots of traffic from various other sources .. such as search engine for example, or your regular visitor. But comment does help search engine to index your site often because search engine think you always modify your site content or you can also say it’s not returning 304 Status Codes in geek words
