I Am Back!
Monday, January 21, 2008
And then in November and December, I worked in the government and handle all the planning application (there is a completed and well-structured planning system in Hong Kong here). So I am quite busy from time to time over this three months.
While I stopped to post for a week, I found that I was getting lazier and lazier to post a new post. After a month, I even lost my insentive too, and even did not logged in my blogger account to take care of the comments. Until recently, I came across a book explaining in Adsense (it is written in Cantonese), I can easily figure out those mistakes and errors from the book. That initiates and encourages me to jump back into my Adsense business.
Coincidentally, the moderator of the Adsense Help Group has announced a new policy to halt the fighting in the forum. This is such a good news to all the publishers and active participants there since this forum had been ruinned by one or two sabotage publishers (namely JDSense). All these are encouraging me to jump back, and share more Adsense tips with all my readers.

More on Comments of Blogs

Who reads comments anyway?
Just about the only time I ever actually read comments is on the first visit to a new blog that I am weighing up. I scan down the main page and see how many of the posts have "Comments (0)". If nobody is commenting, then my instinctive reaction is that the blog is not worth reading.
If the blog passes that very unscientific test of mine, I add it to my RSS Feed Reader (in my case Flock), and after that I never read another comment on that blog. Ever. For this same reason I also seldom add comments to other blogs.
Will we turn commenting off here?
That’s a tough question, because one of the reasons I like commenting as a blog author is that it is a type of affirmation. If I write this lengthy post and in a week’s time there are no comments, I feel like nobody has read it, even if the site stats tell me otherwise. Aiming for people to respond on their own blogs instead of underneath this post raises the bar for the quality of what I need to be writing.
For 642-444 and 350-030 it is important that you first cover 642-382 as well as 642-432. Only then will you be able to go ahead with rest of the courses like 70-284 and 640-816.

Importance of Responding to Comments
Monday, August 20, 2007
From time to time, your blog must receive some comments to your posts, right? It is quite basic to spare some of your blogging time to respond those comments. As my time is quite ample, I can definitely do that thing and respond to and moderate all of them. However, it is often one of the things that slips for many bloggers over time as a result of a growing blog.
To me, it is very important to respond comment in order to keep the readership. By thank youing the commenter, you are sort of encouraging them to stay tuned with your blog. When the others see these conversation, they will know that the blogger is keen to respond to all the comments, and their questions will also be answered very soon. It provides incentive to them to leave their quesitons or opinions in your blog. On the other hand, the comment section can provide a chance to develop a small community in your blog. This happens when some regular visitors help you respond those simple comment or questions. This can build up a sense of belonging and community to all your readers. Last but not least, the number of comments is a factor that determine the value of your blog when you are trying to sell it.
So, remember to respond all the comments in your blog, or at least respond to some important ones. They are beneficial to your blog. There is one tip for you: click the links of those who leave comments on your blog. When you do this you’ll find that some of those who leave comments on your blog who check their own blog’s referral statistics will notice your visit and come back to see if their comments have been responded to.
For 642-432 and SY0-101 it is important to learn the basics from a pro who has 1z0-042 or 220-601 to his credit. Once done with this, you will be able to attempt 640-802 as well as 642-382 on your own.
