8 reasons you might not be getting any comments on your blog

If the only action the comments section on your blog has seen is a supportive message from your mom and the occasional tumbleweed—don’t worry. It doesn’t necessarily mean your writing sucks. Here are eight reasons you might not be getting any feedback. See a few felow:

  • Your posts are too long. Readers are busy and have tiny attention spans. Try to shoot for 500 words (as opposed to 3,000) as a general rule.
  • Your readers are chasing links on your blog. If you link to other sources and stories midway through your post, chances are users are darting around the web instead of reading the remainder of your post.
  • You’re posting at the wrong time. If you post at two in the morning, most people are sleeping. Try to post in high-traffic hours like when people get to work, lunch, and when they get home.
