Savor Your Real Estate Blog Community with Comment Relish

By NikNik | April 11, 2008

hot-dog.jpgInteracting with your real estate blog readers will increase your readership and create a sense of community. One way to reach out to your blog readers is through commenting. Responding to comments made on your blog in a timely fashion is a must. This lets your readers know that you are a real person who appreciates their thoughts and responses.

I’m very in to dips and sauces. In fact, I‘ll take any opportunity to add a delicious side or topping to my meal. So you can understand how excited I was to learn about Comment Relish! Comment Relish is a WordPress plugin that will automatically email a message to a new commenter on your blog. Think of it as an auto “thank you”. When someone comments on your blog, he/she obviously has a vested interest or opinion in what you are saying. So naturally, I think it’s a very polite action to take. Here is an example of what I send to new commenters:

There are Relish Haters out there who will tell you that people hate auto responders, this looks like a desperate attempt to publicize your blog, and it does not create the best first impression.  Perhaps they experienced a blogger’s poorly created and uninspiring invitation to his/her blog community. I’m sure it happens. But there are plenty of probloggers out there that appreciate commenters and want to reach out to newbies with a simple “thank you…and come back again”.  If you are worried about sounding too “spammy” you could always set the auto email to be sent to you, customize if further, and then send it out. 

If you have used the original Comment Relish plugin and experienced a server load issue, you may be interested to know that there is a NEW Comment Relish Plugin.

    The concept of brand personality comes from the customer view of a corporation as an entity and do not see it as the collection of dozens, hundreds, or thousands of unique individuals, all with diverse opinions and ideas about what should be done and how. The company processes are in place to keep that behind the curtain, to preserve the perception of a collective brand entity.

    Dear fellow Hillary Supporters!

    Hillary’s campaign has made sure that no women running for president will ever be seen the same again.

    I have started an art based campaign to help rid Hillary of her Campaign debt and represent her legacy on the web and as part of the DNCC. Please help me help Hillary and at the same time, help yourself to one of these historic works of art!

    I’ve also extended Hillary’s run for president to included other great women past and present who represent the values I believe Hillary stands for!

    20% of all profits from Poster and Post Card sales are donated to Hillary?s Campaign.

    My goal is to raise my full contribution limit! $4,600.00 ($479.50 so far) as soon as possible.

    Visit my site today!

    Most other sites are out of stock and even when they are in stock they have the black battery door which looks like crap.

    Verizon is about the only place you can get the authentic RIM product and matching door.

    Yes, it is always nice to know that there is an actual human behind the blogs. Interaction is a very good thing. I wish bloggers would do it more often. This relish may also help reader loyalty.
