Do You Come Back to Read Responses to Your Comments?

Hi Everyone,

The reason, I'm asking this question is because I'm curious to know if it's even necessary to leave a response to those who leave a comment. 

Another question, I have for you is do you read the comments after reading the blog?  I personally find many of the comments more interesting than my blog. 

Thank you for reading.  I'll look forward to reading your comments on this topic.

I do come back and I read the comments. I prefer being able to be notified of additional comments so I can go back into the specific comment section and read them or add to them.

I will come back if it's an ongoing discussion, for example, if a specific question was asked. Otherwise, I just leave a comment for the blog author and don't expect a comment in return.

Sandy said...

Thank you, She. I'm so glad you come back to read the comments. I'm not sure if my blog is set up to notify people of additional comments.

Sandy said...

Thank you, LuAnn. That's interesting to know. Maybe, I should start asking more questions. Smile.

Sandy, I do come back to read responses to comments, and I'm disappointed when the blogger doesn't respond. I want to know that the blogger saw my response. And when I blog, I go through and read every comment and I respond to every one.

Robin Covington said...

I do! I've learned more about the poster, had a great little convos on the topics and sometimes made a new friend.

I do like reading the comments after reading a blog. I try to remember to come back but I prefer a blog that has the option of emailed follow up comments so I can follow along as they come in.

Sandy said...

Thanks, Carol, I'm really glad to know that.

Sandy said...

I agree Robin. It's worth it just to make a friend or find someone who wants to follow you.

Sandy said...

Jill, you're the second one who has said that about email follow up comments. I'm not sure if I have that ability on blogger. I'll have to check on it.

Thanks for your comment.

Judy said...

The answer is "yes" on both questions. I like reading everyone's comments and I like the author or blog owner that replies to what I write!! I try to always so back and see what was written.

I always mark the box "notify of additional comments" because I do like to see if the blogger responded to me.

Isis Rushdan said...

Hi Sandy!

I read and respond to every single comment on my blog. As far as other blogs, it depends on the post if I read all of the other comments. I do usually skim.

Marianne Stephens said...

I always go and read comments for blogs I've posted. Rarely do I go back and see if someone has commented on a blog where I left a comment.
Interesting question!

Donna Marie Rogers said...

Hi Sandy! I also read the comments, and I certainly like it when the blogger responds to me. Most do. :-)

Sandy said...

Hi Judy,

Thank you for your comment. I really like what I'm hearing. So sorry to be so late responding to you.

Sandy said...

Thanks, Stacey. If it's really, something I want to hear about I mark the box to receive all comments, but sometimes there are hundreds of comments. Smile.

Sandy said...

Isis, in this busy world we don't always have the time to read the comments. I think reading the response to mine is sometimes tough enough. Grin.

Marianne, I don't always unless I really want an answer.

Donna, I read as many as I can, but when there are hundreds I just read a couple. I always respond to commenters.
