I guess off the cuff I'd have to say the sciency ones where I discuss peer reviewed research won't get much comments as it's not everyone's cup of tea. <BR/><BR/>I only check stats to see what search terms lead people to my blog to make sure no one I know in real life is trying to google my blog!Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662013387101984384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23964814.post-65058932569723975292008-04-07T17:11:00.000+01:002008-04-07T17:11:00.000+01:00Ian - I've noticed that you and Java are particula...Ian - I've noticed that you and Java are particularly good at replying to comments and creating a "discussion" too.

Pseudo-intellect rarely gets comments. But, emotionally done, heartfelt ones do. I've noticed that trend on mine. And my Godaya posts get a lot of comments.

Not particularly, but I guess I do hope people want to join in the discussion. <BR/><BR/>Given that it's a numbers game, one thing that I do make sure of is to make my post titles specific (read: Google friendly) so that it can get picked up by search engines. I started off with clever titles like yours, which are great, but now I'm more likely to write something like: <I>"How to generate comments on your blog?"</I><BR/><BR/>However, it can be argued that the random person who comes across your post from Google is unlikely to comment especially if it's an old post...<BR/><BR/>To answer your question: Besides making completely stupid or highly controversial statements, I can't think of any accurate method of figuring out if a post will generate comments! :)Ian Selvarajahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145922677723726634noreply@blogger.com
