For SEO purposes, I would prefer the comments on my blog. Yet, most of the discussion often happens on Twitter. As a tweeter, I only RT interesting articles that I have read. I comment on many, not all.

Both is good, I like that. I still think only one should go towards the bottom, lest they forget . There are also page view plugins to show how many hit it…not necessarily read it, but whatever. lol

I never discourage readers from emailing as this can serve purposes also, not the least of which is turning said comment into another post if possible (also good with regular comments); this gives a little link love to the commenter and adds original content to your blog.

Now before I launch into a novel, I ask, what do you currently do to encourage comments?

Have you tried asking them to make the comment instead of emailing? Just be honest and say I love this question and think it could really provide value to others, would you mind adding it as a comment on my blog for all the readers to learn from?

I have had times where I've emailed another blogger friend to call in a comment favor. It's a back scratching community. Comment on other blogs and they will generally do the same for you. I've had success this way. Not so much with the really big probloggers, but with those in my same niche. It's like a comment network.

I used to wonder about that too. I think (and this is just my opinion) that the TweetMeme button placed before the post provides the reader an instant idea of how popular the post is by the number of times it has been retweeted.

Blog owners naturally want the article to be read after pouring ourselves into the post, so we are tempted to only place the retweet button after the post..partially assuming that the reader would finish the article, and partially because we are trying to "make" them read the post before tweeting,

I put mine both before and after so it's convenient to the whateve type reader is there at that time. If I've got a skimmer that wants to skim over and quickly share they can. The more convenient we make it for our visitors to find or interact on our blog the more results we'll end up seeing.
