Reasons to consider why Negative Comments are essential for Development of a Blog
Every blogger does like to get bulk of comment to their blog posts. As everyone knows comments will sure have an affect on an every author to develop his positive attitude and a good relation with the commentator. Comments also have the power of driving rapid traffic from all over the world. Recently we have achieved PR1 within a short period and I thank the every commentator for being a part of the progress. But there are some turns where you could face negative comments on you posts. What will you do then? Here are the tips to overcome such situations.
You may be Mistaken:
As a blogger you go-on on you way in a concentrated manner while you are making a post. There may be any mistakes or misplace of words which will completely makes your ideas 180 degrees. If you have habit of double cross checking your post before publishing and you are sure to publish your post there will be no problem. Otherwise the negative comment will makes you to realize the mistake you have done!
Sharpens Your Mind:
When someone drops a negative comment, don’t think that they are jealous about you. Think for a while about what they have said directly to you. You are sharing your thoughts and ideas with the world, in return you will get the feedback in the form of comments. So don’t feel shy or anger on the commentator. Be ready to face the comments. Then you may discover any new methods or ideas which will sharps your mind.
Handling Negative Comments:
What will you do if you get an negative comments
These two options are not at all good way to respond at your commentator. If you simply ignore the comment it will be a big mistake done by you as you won’t make any further research about it. Coming to the next point if you negatively respond to their comment, you will surely lose your impressions with the other bloggers. Comments are public and you can’t hide anything. So finally what I like to say was humbly respond to your commentators and explain him clearly and thank him for his comment on your blog. In addition for better readers relationship you can use Thank Me Laterwordpress plugin to automatically greet them when they leave a comment on your blog post.

The theme you are using can be easily modified to make Adsense friendly, if you want to earn more try to match the color of ads with the theme, use a links ads below the header not on the footer, and add a small widget in sidebar just like it did. 🙂

One needs to take the good with the bad, always listen and find a solution if need be.
I remember reading about a post where the title stated ‘…. plugin – is it a scam or not?’ The post got many comments and it was a hot topic. The plugin author also left replies, but they were not good at all. He sort of cursed many users and did listen to what others were saying.

What about such spam ??
Well that is right but you will find many fellow bloggers who keep on giving negative comments on every post and I do not think that leaves a very good impression about your blog.
@Suhasini,
Good point Suhasini, but every time if he do like that he too will lose reputation among other bloggers.
@siddharth,
You can simply trash it 🙂
Accepting constructive criticism with a positive spirit is an art and once you master it, success will only be a few steps away!

@TechChunks, Yes, you are right. Bloggers should possess +ve spirit to achive their goals.
This post reminded me of something Eric Thomas, one of my favorite motivational speakers once said. “Everyone wants to shine like a diamond, but ain’t nobody wanna get cut.”
You can’t become a great blogger through only positive feedback. Embrace constructive criticism, and use it to become the best you can possibly be!
