What is it that most new bloggers want the most? Traffic. What comes second? Comments. Now, with the partnership between Entrecard and SezWho, bloggers can have both.

The WebMaster Blog has been using Entrecard since our beginning. It is a great way to bring traffic to a new blog, and to get yourself noticed. But traffic alone is not enough. Many Entrecard visitors stay at your site only as long as it takes to drop a card, and then they move on. Now this is perfectly fine with the WebMaster Blog. Maybe we haven’t posted something new, maybe you are trying to make your 300 drop day, it’s all good! But for a blog to really thrive you need visitors who will stop a moment to read your blog (and your ads!) and maybe even leave a comment. This is where SezWho comes in.

SezWho is a comment platform that will encourage readers to leave comments on your blog. By leaving comments, readers can earn Entrecard credits. How many credits depends on how well the comment is rated. This discourages spam comments, and commenting just for the sake of commenting! Comments are rated by both readers and blog owners. Comments with higher ratings earn more credits than comments with lower rating.

I have been pleased with the traffic that Entrecard has brought to the WebMaster Blog, and I am looking forward to the quality comments that SezWho will bring.

Used by webmasters and bloggers alike, blog commenting is a highly used technique of generating traffic. Blog comments usually spark some type of conversation between the blogger and reader, and will even include other readers as well. As there are many blogs to comment on, and many conversations going on at once, sometimes it can get hard to keep track of them all. Yes, there are comment feeds, but they feed you all the comments made across an entire blog, and you probably won’t won’t to follow that. There are also check boxes below the comment box on some blogs that allow you to be Emailed every time someone posts a new comment on that post. These are really great, but not every blog has them. So, what do you do when there’s no “Email Me” check box? The answer is simple; coComment.

coComment is a service that allows you to track your blog comments, and even forum posts. It is available as a Firefox add-on, which makes it all the more easier to use. If you use Internet Explorer, then you’ll have to manually add each comment to your coComment account, which will be very monotonous, and almost a waste of time.

coComment doesn’t just track you comments, it also allows you to share them with friends, and even discover new posts to comment on yourself. I haven’t had any good discoveries there, yet, but who knows, maybe you’ll find some. The sharing feature is pretty cool, too. It can be used like a social bookmarking system, but more privately social, if you know what I mean.
