"Check my post HERE and link back" or says... "New follower follow back?" I consider them spam...<br />they didn't take the time to read my post...they're just going around blogs trying to gain some follow number :D<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog though!Albahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06195682676086472221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-43215428243437500522012-06-08T23:17:18.616-04:002012-06-08T23:17:18.616-04:00The more meaningful and well-thought-out a comment...The more meaningful and well-thought-out a comment is, the more I appreciate it. That being said, I do like getting comments regardless of how brief. Those that I think are best are the ones that create more discussion, even if it is by disagreeing (hopefully in a civil manner). <br /><br />I try to return visits to everyone who comments, but sometimes it is difficult to keep up.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-25255258741827781832012-06-08T18:12:47.887-04:002012-06-08T18:12:47.887-04:00I like it when commenters link back to their blog ...I like it when commenters link back to their blog as long as that's not the only point of the comment. Maybe say SOMETHING about the post before you link back. I tend to go on a bit in other people's comments and I wonder sometimes if anyone cares! :)<br /><br />Thanks for the link to the memes and blog tours - I'm always last to know about those :)Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-20923537294507247142012-06-08T17:00:53.820-04:002012-06-08T17:00:53.820-04:00Commenting is one of the things that I've been...Commenting is one of the things that I've been working on. Sometimes I feel like even though I've read the post, my comment is still a bit generic. I don't like it when people leave a link in the comments. It makes me feel like they are just there for the opportunity to direct traffic rather than to interact. Don't most comment systems allow your link in the profile so that people can click through? <br /><br />I too can be rather blunt so I apologize if that sounded a bit mean...Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337919035210017251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-65605964760116268102012-06-08T15:35:57.034-04:002012-06-08T15:35:57.034-04:00I just love comments - any kind.

I comment on meme that I also do on my blog. <br /><br />Most of the time I will at least my StuckInBooks.com under my name so peeps can find me. I know I've had comments that I wanted to return the love and couldn't find them. <br /><br />I will leave links on common memes. I think we just need to be tolerate of what peeps are willing to do most of the time.<br /><br />Valerie<br />StuckInBook.comValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649532121775064262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-5759136431787356702012-06-08T14:49:54.581-04:002012-06-08T14:49:54.581-04:00Don't sound mean at all, in fact its the kind ...Don't sound mean at all, in fact its the kind of feedback I am looking for. <br />I think with everything it's a mixed bag, some people will like it and others won't. <br />I do visit blogs, especially those who visit me, and I read the posts, but with two small children sometimes it can be weeks or a month before I visit back, and when I comment, I figure that thanks for review is better than nothing. <br />(Not trying to be defensive, just stating where I personally am coming from)<br />Thanks for your comments and its been great getting to know you better.brandileigh2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/01669251993917961293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-50190425446620105632012-06-08T11:33:33.521-04:002012-06-08T11:33:33.521-04:00It's fine to link back to your blog.

Otherwise it's usually "I'm adding this to my list, great review!"Annette Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850197520930988077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-85782353809904307182012-06-08T11:16:30.106-04:002012-06-08T11:16:30.106-04:00I'm reading over what I'm about to send an...I'm reading over what I'm about to send and wanted to say, I don't mean to sound...mean! I'm really not, just kind of blunt. LOL!<br /><br />I prefer quality comments and am more likely to respond AND visit back for a comment that says more than "Thanks". I can't really respond to "thanks" with more than "Thanks", you know? I comment to all of my comments on my blog (and then visit their blog).<br /><br />It's slightly greedy, but otherwise I don't know if they really value the comment. I follow A LOT of blogs and try to comment on all of those as often as I can. Our time is valuable, if I notice someone never stops by my blog and I stop by their blog frequently...I always wonder if there's a reason they don't and I've actually stopped following blogs after awhile for that reason. :\<br /><br />As for links, I don't mind people leaving links to their blog. I'm on Wordpress and if I'm leaving comments on Blogger blogs, my name doesn't link TO my blog and since I'm not on Blogger some people miss it in my bio. I've seen people complain about the links, but then complain about not being able to find the blog. I figure if me linking in their comments offends them, then they can delete the comment. I try to make it the least offensive ways as possible. (ie using HTML to link my name or my blog name)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372214289916760777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-19913005731237707052012-06-08T10:35:54.138-04:002012-06-08T10:35:54.138-04:00Thanks for sharing those posts, I think that's...Thanks for sharing those posts, I think that's a great way to share some of the tips you learned and give credit to those you've learned it all from. :) I always wondered why I couldn't email everyone back after they commented! haha I knew I could get emails because I have, but I was never sure why. :P I tend to just reply in the comments now that I've switched to embedded comments though, that way I can reply to everyone, and it doesn't look weird when I leave out the people I emailed. I do still email them the same response that I put on my blog though. :P haha <br /><br />And that's a great point about comments! :D I always try to make my comment more than just a Thank you and such. I feel like if someone took the time to write post, and I actually took the time to read it, then the least I can do is take a minute or two out of my day and make my comment at least a little bit thoughtful. I always try and comment back, too, which can be tougher if it's a meme and the person who commented doesn't really read the same kind of books as you. I always find it harder to find something actually worth saying about that, but I do try because they did too. I'm not as concerned if I can tell someone just left a copy and pasted comment though. And as far as links go, I love them for memes and for events like this. If a person hasn't already visited my daily post, then I'll leave a link so they can check it out if they like. :)<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my post today, Brandi. It's been great talking to you during aBEA, and I hope we keep in touch. :)<br />AmburAmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.com
