| Thank you to the 182 commenters who left 256 comments in September. This is more comments from more commenters than in August, when I still allowed comments from keywords. I’m glad to see that requiring names didn’t slow down the comments. Your comments extended the conversation and added value and interest, and I enjoy replying to every one of them. | |

A wonderful list of commenters. What I like is not just the number, but the variety of blogs you have coming to contribute. Congrats!

Straight From Hel
.-= Helen Ginger@writer editor´s last blog ..Browsing Online =-.
Thanks, Helen. I’m very blessed with the readers who comment here.
I hope I will get on that list sometime. You are doing a wonderful thing here. Keep up the good work!
Michael,
You’ll be on it next month—all you have to do is to leave a relevant comment, which you have done.
Love it! I was both an “important” and “significant” contributor to your blog last month. Of course, linking back to two different blogs made that a possibility!
.-= Matt Keegan´s last blog ..Chapman Concert Details Unfold =-.
Matt,
You are both important and significant so I’m glad I could recognize you as such.
Now this is something I haven`t seen before, an actual thank you to the commenters! I`d like to do something similar at my site, but it`s a lot of work to find all the names and stuff. Do you have this automated or something, some kind of list the names are saved to when posting a comment?
Thank you.

Roger,
I know other bloggers who thank commenters, but most of them have fewer commenters each month.
My system for compiling the list can be found at Compiling Thanks to Commenters.
Congratulations Lillie. I am on cloud nine to be on your top commentators list. Thanks for writing such incredible posts which lures us to leave comments. I wish you all the best and good health. Take Care.
.-= Mack@Las Vegas Foreclosures´s last blog ..Commercial Real Estate Bubble =-.
Thank you, Mack.
Happy to read that you have lots and lots of fans, and seeing this from today i m new fan of you, it will be my pleasure to be in touch with your blog and articles, keep posting.
James,
Not sure if I have lots of fans or if DoFollow, CommentLuv, KeywordLuv, and monthly thank-you link posts have lots of fans.
But I appreciate my commenters regardless of why they’re here—hopefully the comment perks are bonuses, and the real draw in fabulous content. 
Lillie, I am sure even if your blog isnt do follow you will receive these many comments. The reason is that your posts are unique and has lots of good information. I think that is the thing which attracts more and more visitors and day by day the count increases. Obviously the dofollow, keywordluv and commentluv serves as a bonus.
.-= Girish@Car Rental Auckland´s last blog ..Rugby World Cup Car Rentals =-.
Girish,
Thank you so much for the vote of confidence. I appreciate having you as a fan.
I really must applaud you for your treatment of commenters! This is such a refreshing approach to the normal “I hate commenter I don’t know” approach, and you seem to be building a loyal following because of it. High 5 to you! This is a site I will definitely return to frequently!
Thank you, Joe.
I must say I am ruthless about marking as spam comments left by keywords rather than people (those who ignore the instructions about KeywordLuv and leave keywords in place of their names).
I also mark as spam (or delete if it’s borderline so the commenter can leave another message without it being labeled spam) comments that don’t address the post. If someone has commented before and left relevant comments, I’ll accept a “great post” type of comment. I occasionally leave those myself on blogs I frequent when I just want the blogger to know I appreciate her efforts but don’t have much to add to the conversation. But that’s after a pattern of leaving relevant comments has already been established.
That is one case where I differentiate between new commenters and regulars. With someone who has left relevant comments before, I am confident the person has read the post and is responding to it. With someone who has never commented before, I suspect it’s a generic comment left without reading the post. That might not be the case—but most of the time it is.
I do appreciate comments from new readers as well as from regulars. I just want the comment to be a response to a specific post and not just a generic comment left because the commenter is too lazy to read the post but wants a DoFollow backlink—or a robot who can’t read the post.
I am very sad because i have not participated in your contest in this OCT because i have recently started blogging. Now i like it very much, I am really enjoying my work. Keep sharing your thoughts in future.
ANSH,
I’m a little confused by your name since there are no vowels. Perhaps you’re using your initials or maybe it’s a language I don’t know? I almost sent your comment to spam, thinking at first it might be a keyword—the ID of a product—but didn’t find anything matching it on your Web site so am accepting it as a real name.
Good luck with your new blogging endeavor.
yes absolutely, if you blog would be no-follow,then also you article would draw your fans attention, i appreciate your listings.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Dave.
Hi Lillie,
It is great way to build the network with your commentator.Thanks for such encouragement. I think i will be in the list of next month
Aditya,
I’m always glad to thank commenters for their contributions.
Pity that I’m not among those appreciated

Angela,
You will be appreciated next month for this comment, and I hope you return and leave comments on the content.
This is a really nice shout out to the people who are participating in your online community. That’s a great idea, and now I’m definitely going to have to look at doing the same thing for some of my blogs that get more traffic. It’s a nice way to encourage everyone and help out. Well done!

Shayne,
I can’t take credit for the idea. I’ve copied other bloggers so you are certainly welcome to copy me.
Hi Lillie,
It is great way for making a good network and encourage to commentator for putting more comment.
Aditya,
Along with DoFollow, CommentLuv, and KeywordLuv, this does generate comments.
Thanks for the mention, Lillie! It’s always fun carrying on a conversation with you in comments. Thanks for being so responsive!
Jeanne,
I enjoy conversations with you. Not many people come back to carry on the discussion.
I enjoy our extended conversations, as well, Lillie. I’ve also been finding it fun to post multiple comments to Facebook threads when I comment on something significant and/or a topic that’s enjoyable to have an ongoing discussion about.
Jeanne,
I don’t spend much time on Facebook—I’m having a hard time keeping up with everything these days. I’ll have to see if we’re connected on Facebook. I don’t recall reading anything from you.
Facebook can definitely keep one from one’s work if one isn’t careful! LOL! At the same time, it can also provide an excellent forum for promoting your blog and other writing projects, as well as the causes you believe in.
So far, you and I haven’t managed to connect on Facebook. Just sent you a friend request, though. It should be fun to “get together” for a Facebook “chat” once in a while.
Thanks for the friend request. I accepted and look forward to chatting with you there whenever I get over there. I’m in a perpetual state of being behind.
Its a great task to increase your network.All commentators must say thanks to the author for publishing their names.

manu,
A lot of commenters do leave a comment saying thanks, which then gets them mentioned next month.
I hope readers will continue to leave relevant comments on other posts, though I do appreciate the thanks.
Wow this is my first time an admin or the owner of a site recognized or giving a big Thanks to all the commenter..we the commenter it’s a honor to be part of your site..
Saito,
I know other bloggers who thank commenters, but most of them have fewer comments. I’m glad to let commenters know I appreciate their contributions.
Thank you for everything! I always appreciate your blog, and I’m happy to still remain at the top as a loyal reader
C,
I appreciate your being a loyal reader!
Thank you for this.I really appreciate for being reader.I am regular reader.So thank you for this.Also this is a my pleasure.
dhaval,
I’m glad you’re a regular reader and hope to see more comments from you.
I think it’s cool how you recognize people like that. I also think it’s cool how you participate in the comments and replies. That participation makes this place a very warm and friendly place to be.
Donald,
You left this comment several times because you thought it should appear automatically since you have had comments approved before. However, you didn’t submit the comment with exactly the same information. You wrote Donald and your other comments have been Don, and also you used slightly different keywords for KeywordLuv. Therefore, WordPress did not recognize you as the same person who had commented before.
Future comments using this information should appear automatically, but if you leave slightly different information, future comments will also go into moderation.
A wonderful list of commenters, blogs, & website. What I appreciate your being a loyal reader! Congrats!
mark,
I think you mean what a way for me to show my appreciation of my loyal readers. I do appreciate the commenters and readers.
Its nice to know that you really appreciate all the readers and followers of your site. Keep up the good work! And many more post for us to come.!
Julia,
I’m glad you appreciate the appreciation.
Nice to see yet another site using the commentluv. I think this just increases the activity on the site.
John,
I agree about CommentLuv. I also think it works synergistically with DoFollow and CommentLuv for even more impact.
