I’ve been wondering for a while now how many people out there actually comment on the ‘big name’ blogs?? I mean obvs a ton of people comment on them when you see like 300+ comments on just one big-namer’s post, but do any of you peeps who read my blog (and whose blogs I read) ever take a moment to comment on a big-name blog?
I don’t read a ton of them, but when I say big-name I’m meaning those such as Pioneer Woman, Dooce, Girl’s Gone Child, etc. etc. I’ve commented on a couple big-namers a couple times when trying to win a giveaway…but that’s about it. If you’ve ever left a general comment, have you ever received a response? Which big-time blogs do you read? And do you ever comment? [Did anyone congratulate Dooce on her new baby?]

Nah, I don’t comment on big-name blogs (except this one, of course)… The comments are always just a bunch of people talking past each other. And once blogging becomes a business, I start to resent them a little bit. I like to be friendly with people, but when they’re getting paid to hold up their end of the conversation, it just starts to feel less genuine.
I will read Pioneer Womens blog and only comment when there is a giveaway (Loser I know)
i wouldn’t unless i felt i really had something to offer with my comment… which after a few hundred comments from other people, is not ever very likely. :)
i don’t get why people just post and say ‘love this!’ or ‘that’s exactly how i feel!’… on those blogs, i mean. seems like such a waste of time?!?
i do comment when there is a giveaway though. :)
I did comment when I first started reading blogs….and I was left feeling really disappointed. Now I only comment to win a prize or if I really have something to say…but mostly I don’t. They get my page view -that’s all they really want anyway.
only when i want to win a kitchen aid mixer. :)
Nope, don’t read them and don’t comment on them
i’m a terrible commenter…i only comment on like 4 blogs! :) the big names are for sure out!
