- Size matters.
- Respond ASAP.
- Don’t link in comments.
- Spellcheck, spellcheck, spellcheck.

What’s the best way to respond to comments on my blog?
Some respond to each comment individually via private e-mail; others respond individually within the comments section. Or, if there are recurring questions or reactions, a blogger may choose to update the post itself to address those concerns.
Analyze the tone of voice in the criticism that’s been made and decide if it’s a person who might respond well to humor or if it’s the kind of comment to which the rest of your audience would appreciate a humorous comment. If in doubt, stick with a serious response; it’s difficult to go wrong with that.
Never, ever delete negative comments. It’s unlikely to make the person go away, and it may just incentivize them to post more. Negative social media contact isn’t something you can erase. Some guides recommend asking posters to remove their comments after you’ve solved the situation.
Why do I need 50 reputation to comment?
Comments cannot be downvoted or closevoted, nor searched (nor do we want that). Comments are second class citizens on the Stack Exchange network, not designed to hold information for all eternity. They may get cleaned up at any time.
