July Thanks to Commenters
August 4, 2008 by Lillie
The first time I recognized my commenters, I thanked commenters for the entire year of 2007. That was such a long list and such a long time for commenters to wait for thanks, I recognized commenters in the first and second quarters this year. Now the numbers have increased so much I’m going to thank commenters monthly. The month of July brought nearly 400 comments from 119 commenters, compared to 300+ comments from 192 commenters in the entire second quarter.
I recognize that Do Follow is one reason for the numbers of comments I get, especially from people who aren’t writers. The variety in where commenters come from and what they do/blog about amazes me. I appreciate the quality of comments and the conversation that is generated from these diverse readers.
A note about my comment policy: In determining whether a comment is legitimate or not, I tend to give commenters the benefit of the doubt. However, I usually delete generic comments such as “thanks” or ”great blog.” I approve comments from people who leave keywords instead of names … but I really prefer to address people by name.
Thanks to these July commenters:

Thanks back to you, Lillie. I appreciate this, and I also commend that you put in the time to put this together - no small feat!
I like your style of blog and perhaps it is one of few blogs which welcome comments in such a nice way. Do you use some plugin to compile all of them or do you do it manually? I shall be implementing it on one of my blog.
What a lovely surprise. It’s nice to be appreciated like this. More power to you, Lillie!
Thanks for the comment recognition, Lillie! I must say that the number of commenters your posts attract never ceases to amaze me!
Jeanne
Well, aren’t you clever?
Thanks for the link, Lillie, and what a nice way to do this. You made everyone a special title! I love it!
Amy Derbys last blog post..Ninja Kick Your Competition
Thanks, much. Compiling a list of commenters can certainly be a task and I appreciate the effort. I did it once late last year and, since I don’t get nearly the amount of comments as you, it was probably easier than what what you had for this post. Again, thanks!

I’m again on the list! Thanks so much for the credit, the link love, and being such a great person! I guess that’s one of the many reasons, besides great content, that make your comment numbers increase like that!
Alina

Hey, thanks for the recognition and the links! Always appreciated. I’m glad you don’t flag the keywords as spam, to me, if a comment is useful, why not reward someone with a nice link? Everyone wins, and it seems you realize that. Keep up the good work.
What a brilliant post. This is a brilliant way to thank your contributors. I’ll do something similar myself too.
Thank you so much. Power to you.

Dan,
I’m glad you like my thanks and plan to do something similar.
I reply to all comments, but my nested replies were lost when I moved my blog.
