How to Set Up Advanced Comment System on Blogger

Have you finally decided to establish a dialogue with the reader, or are you thinking about UGC content? Or maybe you’re just ashamed of the low viewing depth and damn engagement? Surprisingly, a good commenting system can help solve all these pains. All you have to do is figure out which one is right for you.

Let's learn more about it.

What is comment System?

Comment systems, also known as software for comment, This allow users to ask their question by commenting on any website topic, typically under a news story or blog post. Poeple can also share their views or reactions by commenting. this can helps visitors to ask their query to the post author for further information and with the help of this software readers can get more clarity about any topic.

Why Are Comments Needed?

Imagine: a visitor reads an interesting article and wants to say “Thank you” to the author, but there are no comments allowed. Sadly! Or, on the contrary, a person saw a mistake, did not agree with the opinion expressed in the text, but could not express his protest. He will be disappointed!

That is why comments should be present on sites where information materials are published. The same rule applies to online stores: a potential buyer has the right to ask a question about a product and receive an answer.

Comments are a huge plus for the site:

1. This is the involvement of the target audience in communication,

2. Additional content coming from users and its indexing,

3. Potential increase in traffic from search engines,

4. And if you engage your guests in an interesting discussion, the weight of behavioral factors will increase.

Honestly, it’s worth talking about the other side of the comment forms:

1. Firstly, from a legal point of view, opening the possibility of commenting on a site makes its owner, in the eyes of Experts, the organizer of the dissemination of information. We wrote in more detail about this issue earlier . Although the procedure for inclusion in the Register is not as complicated as it seems at first glance.

2. Secondly, often the owner of the resource does not see the need for comments on a blog or news section. He justifies his opinion by the fact that, for example, there are communities on social networks, and subscribers may well share their opinions there.

3. Thirdly, when the company itself and its website are small, a kind of “fear of a white sheet” arises. “We will open comments, but no one will write them. The site will look abandoned." There is some objectivity in this opinion.

It must be understood that the possible benefits of comments outweigh such concerns. Readers can be encouraged to leave responses. With a competent approach, the content itself will be focused on getting the interested person to write at least a couple of words. But to do this, it is important to ensure that the process of entering into the discussion is simple!

Nobody wants to go through the registration procedure, even the simplest one, which involves filling out two fields and clicking on a link. This is, after all, the user’s time, which he is in no hurry and should not part with. Most CMS allow you to implement comments, but often they imply just such a mechanic of the process - visitor registration.

The solution has long been found - instant authorization through social networks! It is offered by special resources intended for discussions of web site materials. How is this option implemented? What functionality do current commenting services have?
