Hey Bloggers Academy Reader, I hope you are all doing well and 2009 is treating you nice. Sure are strange times for Earth, with the overpopulation and all the violence and pollution problems it is causing.

First of all I’d like to say, Happy Halloween! Have fun trick or treating and keep it safe. Halloween is my second favorite holiday after Christmas, and I have some fond memories of great past Halloween growing up in Southern California.

I wanted to give you and update on the projects I’ve been working on. First, there is Starcraft 2 Strategy Masters which is going to be a membership site that will teach players how to play Starcraft 2 really well once it finally comes out in 2010. I am pretty excitied about this project and make a new post to the site every day.

Next, I recently finished Blog Mastermind Review. This site gives a full review of Blog Mastermind as well as some good tips to increase your blogging income. I play to continue developing it.

That’s about it for me! I hope 2009 finishes smoothly and we all make it to 2010! Two more years before the Mayan Calendar says the world is going to end.

Getting your visitors to comment on your blog posts is important in building your blog’s perceived value and authority in the eyes of your readers, and building your confidence as a blogger. Comments also increase the amount of content on each of your pages, which helps with search engine optimization.

I recently did a post at Web Traffic Academy on How To Pick A Good Good Website Domain Name that got about 10 unique comments, which is pretty good considering I had only launched that blog a few weeks before doing that post. These are the 5 things I did to get those comments.

1) Comment On Other Peoples Blogs. During the week after I published the above mentioned article on Web Traffic Academy, I commented on about 20 different blogs, multiple times. The majority of the comments that post got came from my commenting on other blogs. The key is to post high quality, helpful, insightful comments, not spammy ones. Write comments that add value to each post that you comment on, that the writer will be proud to display. Don’t just post on the most popular blogs you know of, read the comments on those blogs and check out the smaller blogs of the other people posting comments, then post comments on their blogs. You will get the best results by posting comments to less popular blogs as it is more of an event when they get a comment, and when you comment on theirs first the blog owner will be more likely to come comment on your blog, and you will begin top build relationships with other bloggers in your niche. Many of the worlds most popular bloggers have said in interviews that the commenting they did to hundreds of different blogs was one of the biggest factors in their initial success.

2) Create High Quality Blog Posts That Interests Your Target Audience. The better your reader thinks your post is, the more likely they will comment. As they say, Content is King.

3) Get more traffic. The more traffic you get, the more comments you’ll get. Only about 1 in every 100 visitors will comment on your posts. Get more traffic by improving your seo, posting more, posting your articles to social sites like facebook twitter, doing ppc, posting to forum, commenting on blogs, etc.

5) Add calls to actions at the end of your posts promoting people to comment. It’s also a good idea to finish your posts with a question related to the topic of your post.

Oh yea, and you probably noticed that the posts on this blog don’t have many comments . I just haven’t had much time to blog or market during the past couple months, been working hard on preparing to launch Game Site Builder X.

Do you have any other tips on how to get more comments on your posts?

(Correction To Video – I didn’t get reTweeted by @ProBlogger, I just got a question answered, but its still exciting )

A pretty high profile product launched happened last week of Frank Kern’s Mass Control 2.0 that’s made its creator over a million dollars during this launch, and he basically just sells the system he uses to sell Mass Control. A good example of a highly profitable information product that banks on building high perceived value.

Lets Do The Time Warp Again – (A good example of Timeless High Quality Content that still makes money today 34 years after it was made)

It’s astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I’ve got to keep control

I remember doing the TIme Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling
Let’s do the time warp again…
Let’s do the time warp again!

It’s just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it’s the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let’s do the Time Warp again!

It’s so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can’t see me, no not at all
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well-secluded, I see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You’re there in the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You’re spaced out on sensation, like you’re under sedation
Let’s do the Time Warp again!

Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck and the devil’s eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again
Let’s do the Time Warp again!
