An additional tip to engage folks who comment, is to take the time to drop them an email. I don’t always take the time to do it, but find when I do that person is more likely to come back and comment again.

Chris, I agree completely. The idea isn’t to be a “bad boy” of your industry, simply to not be overly concerned with pleasing everybody. By taking a stand you show you’re passionate about what you do and you’re inviting the possibility of a counter-point. A Blog that’s loaded with comments like “great post!” and “I couldn’t agree more!” might be great for your ego, but it makes for boring conversation.

Thanks Janis. The reason social media marketing works is because you can reach a large number of potential clients quickly and in a central location.

You also run the risk of fanboy attacks–which may increase your SE ranking, but could also drive away people who don’t want to participate in those discussions… just my 0.02 CHF
