Because they say something like this "nice blog! Check mine out at XX." If you're bopping around leaving comments about topics you enjoy, that's all that matters. I don't think anyone will think you are trolling for visitors. You're just making friends--which is what the blogosphere is all about. :)Blondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903668054657873042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-59122868858390747362007-08-23T13:02:00.000-05:002007-08-23T13:02:00.000-05:00Well this whole commenting controversy is news to ...Well this whole commenting controversy is news to me! How silly. I have never questioned the motives of any of the commenters on my blog (except the ones that are obviously SPAM) and I think you should *most certainly* leave your URL whenever you leave a comment. I would have been very sorry to never have met you or any of the other bloggers I found through the comments they left on my blog.

Why leave them open? I will probably start leaving my URL less on the big blogs, though.<BR/><BR/>But, BUT - I wouldn't have met some incredible people if I had not left my URL. For example, Monkey is a great example - she found me from a comment and now we are really good friends.

But it doesn't make sense to read a blog everyday and not leave comments! I wouldn't think it would matter whether or not someone was leaving comments just to get higher hits, because it their content isn't interesting, then they won't keep getting traffic to their site. <BR/><BR/>PS.

How else will we connect? It's how I've made some very good friends with people who live thousands of miles away. If the URL isn't attached, I can't visit someone who's visited me that I'd never met. And where's the fun in that? My world would be a less bright place without all my blog-friends.
