I believe in what you are trying to convey in your blogpost.
I agree with you that we need more people who want to promote their ministries, their causes, their churches or for some other related reason.
There aren’t enough of us who are actively looking for ways to promote our churches and or ministries.
We need to educate our Christian brothers and sisters about how we can help spread the word for our church. One of the best free ways to reach others is by improving our church website optimization.
It’s not just important to create websites that are appealing to visitors and provide a great user experience. It’s also necessary to find other relevant websites who are interested to provide a cooperation with each other and together reach others online.
It’s well known that more than 90% of the websites in the Internet don’t get much traffic. According to Ahreffs, one of the reasons is because most websites don’t have backlinks.
When a website has many reputable and relevant links that point back to their websites, they will appear in the search results more often.
This way, when someone is searching for a church online, your church will appear in the first page.
Sadly it’s a waste of time to create an outstanding looking website if no one can find.
Thus, when we make relevant comments in relevant websites, other people will read these comments and perhaps click on the link you provide. Every time someone clicks on your link, Google ads a vote to your website. The more votes your website has, the higher it will rank in Google, Yahoo, Bing, AOL and other search engines.
Let us help each other and promote comments in other Christian websites that are relevant to the topics your church website is interested in.
Feel free to ask me any questions. I would like all of us to work together for a common goal to bring others to Christ.

I think there’s something to a blogger’s reputation in the blogging community. The better a bloggers reputation, the more people who subscribe to their RSS feed and follow them on twitter. That means more people will see a post, and it’s more likely to get more comments.

But there’s usually a great variation in the number of comments on a blog’s posts, so the content of each post matters. Plus the content of a blogger’s posts contribute to their reputation.

I know I’m late to the fray on this one, but that’s because I’ve been thinking about the usefulness of networking – be it face to face or via the internet.

I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t really matter what you write but it’s much more a matter of who you are.

And by that I mean it’s a mater of “your standing” in the perceived ranks of bloggerdom.

For my part I didn’t get into blogging for the stats and figures but it would be nice (like you) to see more comments and I know the site is getting visitors. I also get the occasional boost from folks via twitter or similar who say “cool site, adding to my must read list” and then you never hear from them again. I thrive on the interaction, not the stats.

I think, that like you, I perceive social networking to be something more than most people use it for. I’m looking to make real, long lasting and hopefully meaningful conenctions (even if we never meet f2f) … but it would appear that the modern world is – and possibly due to social media to a degree – ever more superficial.

I have a blog on our site and have really tried to blog on things that could get people discussing things, but noone seems to want to. I even have recently tried an “open forum” type entry asking for questions, with little response. I like to think that people are reading it and just not commenting. It does make it hard to keep blogging regularly, which is probably part of the reason I don’t get as much response.

Thanks for your blogs. The ones I get to read are helpful.

I have the same thoughts as you have but i live in third world country and there are some words which restricted to certain religion.

But i pray you will succeed what the Lord guides you.

The posts I have read in the past, and continue to read, have been in my opinion; interesting, engaging, as well as thought provoking. Personally, It may not be a matter of ‘replying’ to conversations. In many instances it may have more to do with time management, and spreading one self too thin.

Although many topics relate to life, and personal experiences, and can be quickly addressed, proper research which takes time, may be required on other topics in order to make a more intelligent, thoughtful, comment, or contribution to the subject presented.

For example, there have been many posts in which I have found interesting, and would like to comment, but due to other commitments as someone mentioned; blogs, writing, family, schedule, etc.,’ time’ definitely, has been the biggest factor.

On the other hand, the internet, (virtual world) has made it possible to interact on a much larger scale which has been unimaginable in the past.
It is perhaps a matter of placing emphasis on; importance, and relevance, as well as priority when blogging in order to be more effective, especially where it concerns ministry.

An important key therefore is to remain focused , and to be cognizant of non-essentials (whatever may be non- productive or effective) which can take away from relevant, posting. I speak from past experience.
Still working on that!

Posting comments however, can also be all in one’s perspective, as it relates to topic, preference, and personal interest as some one also mentioned.
There can be a plethora of reasons one does not choose to comment.

What we must keep in mind is that because of our ‘virtual’ world, for every some one, some where, at any given point, or time who may receive, and appreciate; insight, wisdom, and / or revelation through the medium of blogging, there may be just as many who; disagree, won’t receive, or respond.

What bloggers may want to consider, and avoid in the world of ‘Christiandom’ and blogging is ‘cut throat,’ ‘fierce,’ competition, which looses it’s effectiveness and takes attention away from it’s original purpose, which should concern ‘Kingdom’ business.

I can agree with, and relate to much of the response presented concerning blogging. Looking forward to reading more of your presented topics.
Keep going forward.

Agape Love, Joy, Gods Blessings, And Peace
