Web2.0 is all about interaction . People don't go to Facebook to just browse like they do at wikipedia. They go there to actually interact with their friends, see pictures and videos they have uploaded, play games and boast when they do well, and chat to anyone who is online.

Well, I know this is just a blog but did you know that blogs were the forerunners of these social media sites because of their ability to enable their readers to comment on articles and interact with the author and other readers of the blog?

If you didn't know, you are not alone. There are still thousands of people reading blogs who never come out of their shell and use the comment box.

The comment luv plugin is good in fact I use it on this blog and it gives you a link back to your site. A backlink is a great reward I think but sometimes people want more tangible rewards!

New WordPress Plugin Rewards Comments ...

Some people need a gift as an incentive! So this comment rewards plugin is great!

Have you seen this new WordPress plugin RewardMe yet? It rewards the people who comment on your blog with a digital gift.

I just installed it on the Genie's Tips - New Products Blog - which means that if you leave a comment there and now, the blog will automagically send you an email with a link to download a reward. My rewards are training videos on different ways you can get more traffic such as videos on social media, seo, articles etc.

As I use Intense Debate to manage comments on this blog, the plugin doesn't work on this blog. So if you have comment plugins already, you may need to choose between them, they may not "play nice" together! ( BTW - I have only just installed Intense Debate and I have no comments (sigh) so my widget may not display much for a while!)

Comment Rewards For You...

Anyway I hope that this may encourage you to leave a comment on either blog (or both). You get Comment Luv here with a backlink and Comment rewards of a digital gift are available from Genie with 5 comment rewards available after 1, 3, 6, 12 and 20 comments.

So the more you comment, the more rewards you get.

P.S. If you have a blog and want to use this plugin too, the WP Incentive Plugin price is expected go increase by at LEAST double on March 17th 2010, so now is the time to take advantage of the dirt cheap pricing: (less than $10!)

I'm think it's a great idea, and I hope you do too. It is hard to get people started commenting and I do feel lonely sometimes just blogging along by myself. I know people are reading my articles because my stats say so. But its a lot more fun to actually get some comments and real feedback!

So why not leave me a comment below and tell me what you think...

And don't forget to check out Genie's Tips - New Products Blog , leave a comment and check your email for your first reward video.
