Yes, whether a post is interesting or not obviously varies a lot from person to person. And adding something of value to a post is to prefer, although I don't mind if readers just say a word or two (that's value too) - as long as it's not "nice post" :) As for time, I believe most bloggers recognize themselves in the need to prioritize when it comes to commenting.

I would say I share the majority's approach. I started feeling a little disappointed by feed-back like "nice post" or "I agree". True that commenting is a way to increase traffic, but I strongly believe in comments that really embed some value added. That's why I decided to follow three criterias: 1) I find a post interesting (that's clearly a very subjective criteria...) 2) I believe I can add something of interest (no matter commenting if there's no value added) 3) time I know that there are far more blogs and posts worth to be commented than what I actually do. But available time is limited and one is obliged to prioritize. .-= waitinginthedark´s last blog ..<a href="http://exxxplorer.wordpress.com/2009/10/23/goby-a-new-search-engine-helping-to-plan-free-time-activities/" rel="nofollow">Goby, a new search engine helping to plan free time activities</a> =-.

But like Anil said, I read too many blogs to comment on all on my limited time allotted for blogging. I reserve this time for deserving posts like this one. And yeah, I believe it's better not to get any comments than a 'nice pic' or a 'great post'. :-) Hi Erica,

In the beginning I use to rack my brain trying to figure out what to write as a comment to a really good post. But when I can't come up with someone interesting to say, I tweet on Twitter.

There are so many good travel blogs out there (including yours) and I haven't always had time (or taken the time) to comment as much as I'd like to do. The challenge is to find a balance between writing blog posts, commenting on other blogs and travel. I feel the same way at times.

Sometimes I feel bad not commenting on my fav blogs because the writing is good, the topic is good and I want to participate. As for my blog - I would rather have a no comment than a generic "nice picture" or "nice post" comment. Like Priyank said - it's phoney. I guess it depends how much time you want to spend on blogs and how much time you want to spend doing other things like travel. .-= Cate´s last blog ..<a href="http://caffeinatedtraveller.com/2009/10/02/photo-friday-colour-and-then-some/" rel="nofollow">Photo Friday – Colour and then some</a> =-.
