When you are in search for money then it would be waste commenting instead of following what is written in post. On the other side for some other blog providing useful info, comments may add more insight into it. I have seen many blogs that are running because of comments, blogger puts in a sentence or two in a post and commentators start commenting each with length bigger than the posts itself CQ’s removing the comment section might have helped them but isn’t something that may vary from blog to blog.

CQ not displaying dates in post might be to let reader assume the post that is equally valid on date. Placing a date might make readers think that info is outdated.

I just love to read the comments on blogs, this way you will be able to see what other people have to say about that article. I will always find that comments are welcome on blogs, they are the life of the blog, they are giving the blogger feedback on what he's writing, and also they are making the content of the blog grow.

He has 8500 people reading through RSS, so that's only 2.3% commenting. When you consider that probably just as many people don't use RSS to read the site, it's actually probably less than 2% leaving comments. Having them might be fun and sometimes useful, but you have to do it with the knowledge that it only serves a very small percentage. Look at this way, a top post on John Chow might get 200 comments.

i remember reading a study last year that put the statistic more at 10%, i’ll look for the book tomorrow, it’s also hard to look seeing as technorati is down atm, it was just a shocking statistic when you think about the top blogs

most of the webblogs, inc blogs (engadget, autoblog, joystiq) political places like crooksandliars, dailykos, etc

media places like gawker, metafilter, aintitcoolnews, ohnotheydidnt etc

famous people like johnchow, zuckerman, etc i could go on and on

their rate must be much higher, as must be the case for most of the top blogs

but more importantly i think that comments shouldn’t be given up on

it’s really tough to explain to people unfamiliar with blogs that the best content can often reside in the comments. a well moderated blog with a good following is so much more than a one-way conversation.

in fact, good comments make some of the blogs i read frequently
