Our MyST Blogsite generates highly qualified leads compared to other venues of online lead generation. One of the primary reasons is we have a trust factor, which we built (and continue to build) by providing dependable and accurate information through the blogsite. As a result, actions are more meaningful for business and the customer."
When is really not at issue - it's more about your blogsite objectives and whether there's an advantage to conversational feedback.
I believe that commenting is an excellent way to increase the understanding and awareness of your audience. But it also represents a new task for authors and management. In my view, feedback (in general) is always helpful, but you don't have to publish comments in any case, or ever.
BTW - you don't have to add a link to your website - we do that for you (click on your name). ;-)
I spoke with a group of bloggers in Phoenix recently. What I found is that very few had any business from their blogs despite a lot of effort. I have 5 closings and 7 active buyers directly from [our MyST blogsite] in 2008. I know because I ask. One person told me they have been reading my blog for almost a year before they called me to buy a property."
