JointComments is a Disqus replacement, a free comment system for WordPress and other CMS. Adding a comment plugin to your website has many benefits, and we will discuss about them in this post.
A comments section is an excellent place for building these kinds of relationships with influencers. If you get to the end of an article, you may be thinking, “Hey, this person forgot to mention this point, but I have some thoughts on that.” Adding in a helpful comment or linking back to another article can spread the conversation. It can connect you with others (or with the blogger) in a bigger way. It’s not that linking back to another blog or website is bad. Sometimes people do it because they’ve written something related to the topic and they think it addresses something missed in the post. But when it’s done just to drive traffic, it’s spam. Moderating these comments is much more difficult. It takes a lot of time to filter the manual spam ones out from all the other normal comments.
HubSpot analyzed comment, view and link data from over 100,000 blog posts. What they found about the correlation between blog posts and views/links was fascinating. As you can see, they found that there is no correlation between the number of comments on a post and the number of links that post got. There is also no correlation between the number of comments and the number of views that post got. (There is, however, a positive correlation between links and views, which is exactly what you would expect.) So, the data shows that blog comments are not correlated with increased traffic.
It leads to higher conversations. When you see a random person giving his or her opinion, you care less about it. But if that person is someone you know, you are much more likely to get over the inertia and type out what you think. This is the same reason why JointComments comments leads to more dialogues in websites. Also another important thing you should note is that the Quality of conversations drastically increases with JointComments comments. More over, you will get rid of people commenting on your blog just for the sake of links, instead you will be getting genuine users commenting because of your write-up. Being a blogger I know, how important it is to get a genuine comment, than just another comment.
