Kristi I am always looking for great blogs to read within the business, tech, social media and real estate industries as these cover my interest as well as my line of work. I have always enjoyed reading your blog and others like it. You always put out great content and tips that others can use.

How do you like the checkbox in place of the captcha?

My husband and I had this discussion the other day (hoping to record it as a video) but you’d be surprised on some larger sites who is potentially noticing your engagement and just not responding to it.

I’m not much of a fan as well. I’ve gotten used to the Disqus form because I am always signed in now anyway, but the single site registrations definitely make me want to leave unless I’m extremely emotional and have to comment about something.

Exactly! Lots of great collaboration can come out of commenting with other blogs in your niche.

I totally agree! I have found that some people that started commenting simply to build links, but did so with good comments, have turned into some of my loyal readers and interact well, which I bet works a lot better than the random drive-by spamming.

I’m not too fussed when it comes to using Disqus or Intense Debate anymore, but I feel like those systems significantly cut back on your comments, unless you’re a site like Mashable or Techcrunch.

Fast forward 11 months and my Disqus profile is back and running for a while now. Intense Debate allows me to comment without logging in, so that is fine.

I really agree with you that blog commenting doesn’t only do good to our blogsite’s traffic but also it inspires co-bloggers to blog more and it also nurtures camaraderie.
