I heard that people are getting paid to comment on blogs now. I guess that goes along with the spammers trying to be legit, which doesn’t really work since I have an Akismet full of crappy ones but I just think it’s nuts. But you’re right. An active blog is a good blog. I just wish more people would become more active in their communities and interact with their readers more.
I so very agree with you. A blog without comments looks lifeless to me.
It’s just the openness of the Internet that allows spammers to lurk among the real users. But we should learn to fight with them to keep them at bay rather than getting rid of interaction on blogs.
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.

Mark one of these days I am hoping to be able to welcome you to the dofollow community on Bumpzee.
I think there is a huge difference between blogs and bloggers who allow comments, and those who encourage discussion.
