How to encourage blog comments… I need your advice!

Dear readers,

I’ve been blogging across a number of sites for several years now, and think I’ve created some articles that have been fairly poignant, timely, or mildly amusing.

And although each time I post a new article I get a good swathe of new visitors, and progressively increase the traffic to my site through organic search as a result of having more keywords listed and fresh content, etc – I still get very, very few comments on any of my articles.

I’m looking at deploying some additional comment plugins that interface with Facebook profiles, for example, to make commenting [as you] much easier. But I’m a little skeptical about how much difference that will really make.

Could you recommend me some ways in which you think I could encourage or better position my site that would get more reader comments?

I’d love to hear what you can come up with…

(…Oh and if this post gets zero comments I might just give up!)
