Good comment survey results

Filed under: blogging, cross post — Miss W. @ 8:29 pm
A month or so ago I created a survey about what makes a good comment.  I gave some reasons for people to choose from.  They could tick as many as they liked.  Out of the 25 people who responded, these were the results:
 
  • A question is asked  16
  • Must relate to the topic  14
  • Writer knows what they are talking about  9
  • Been polite 11
  • Given their point of view with reasons  16
  • Adds information to my post  4
  • Shows humour  3
  • Must be positive 5
 
The readers could also add their own reasons for a good comment:
 
  • Showing a different point of view.
  • Proper grammar.
  • Being very informative!
  • Agreement or appreciation of a point in the post
  • Perhaps when people continue the conversation between the commenters and author.
  • Asking people to visit your blog
  • The commenter knows what they are talking about…
  • No bad language and writing that you can understand.
  • You both know what your talking about and putting more posts on
  • No mean comment although you can disagree with others comments and posts
  • When the commenter can relate to your post.
  • If they have a blog of their own, so you can go and visit it.
  • When they ask a question and you can reply back to keep them coming back to the blog.
  • Suggestions of where next or a different direction or……..
  • Perhaps a comment or question to move the conversation on or get others responding
  • Furthers the discourse and fosters community growth and connection.
 
What five reasons do you think would make a good comment on your blog and why? Perhaps you could write a post about this very topic.

  1. These are really some excellent points to be considered while commenting.

    I think that a comment should be relevant to the topic, polite and humorous. The commenter should try to add something to whatever is already discussed in the post. If the commenter asks any questions, any other reader or the post owner should make it a point to answer the same.

    Thank you for sharing this.

  2. Miss W. These are excellent guidelines for posting comments. Your comment should add to the discussion and perhaps add a question for others to think about regarding this discussion. BTW, I would like to invite your students to participate in our little debate about school uniforms on our site.

    Thanks again for another excellent post!

  3. Hello Miss W.
    If you were here, in the United States that’s all you would hear about. THE JONAS BROTHERS!! I would love to hear if your class knows about them-let me know about that. You can also search them up online I’m sure. (they’re everywhere) :] Great talking to you. Tell your class Olivia says hello.
