A little thanks goes a long way…
A visitor’s comment is a contribution to the content of your blog, so send a thank you email to show your appreciation.
It doesn’t have to be an epistle full of flowery prose…a short note will suffice.
Use the person’s name, and thank him/her for visiting your blog, and for the comment.
I usually paste a copy of the comment into the email, just to jog the memory.
And paste a copy of the reply you made on your blog, into the email, too.
An email is a chance for a bit of free advertising, so at the end of the email, put a link to your blog.
Don’t make it a clickable link, though. I’ve found that some spam filters throw out emails with active links in them.
For example, if you put http://www.healthybusiness.wordpress.com, or http://healthybusiness.wordpress.com the email programme will automatically recognise it as a web address and make it a clickable link in the same way this WordPress programme has.
Instead, leave off the www. and the http:// and just put the remainder of your blog address, like this: healthybusiness.wordpress.com
After you’ve done all this, keep a copy of your email in your drafts folder. It’s easy to alter it to suit the next visitor you thank… and saves you a lot of time.
This is the perfect blog for anybody who really wants to understand
this topic. You understand so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually will
need to…HaHa). You certainly put a brand new spin on a topic that has
been discussed for years. Great stuff, just great!
