Much before Blogging came a part of an important marketing strategy and a tool for online marketing, it was very much popular as a medium for establishing social network. This network was meant for close friends and sometimes even strangers ended up becoming good friends due to some common hobbies and interests that they shared. Responding to comments made sure that a network was made where people either agreed or disagreed or simply exchanged their point of views over a certain topic. This was, unarguable, the best way to connect to people all over the world.

As a blogger, it is important for you to actively maintain a rapport with people who read your blog and comment on it. It is a good habit to respond to their comments or e-mail them. You must always use courteous language while responding to comments and responses of the readers. Even if you both disagree or have diametrically opposite views, you must maintain a good decorum. This will enable you to have more readers. The readership and popularity of your blog depends much on the way you respond to the comments that you receive over your blog. Your expertise over the subject matter is one thing, and the way you interact with your readers is another. Understand that even if you were a good writer, but did not respond politely to your readers, then you may loose a reader.

In case if you have an inappropriate comment or a spam material in the form of a comment, then better block the person or the agency that commented. But never ever respond in a rude or a frivolous manner to any of your readers. If your blog generates a good readership, then check the comments regularly and respond within three to four days.
