Do you ever realize how much of “link-back” traffic you may be loosing all this years? I often come across blogspot comments that uses a google account as an ID. It’s fine. But the fact is, it’s very annoying.
Why? Because as a common due, we would aspect it to redirect to the commenters site/blog but it does not. All it does is to direct you to the commenters blogger profile. Now that’s annoying, and out of frustration I might just shut the window/tab. Now how much of potential visitors, readers and subscribers are you missing out?
The simple solution to this is already built-in on the blogspot comment system. Instead of choosing a Google/Blogger ID, opt for the Name/URL option. Have your desired name and blog URL posted. Now enjoy an amount of traffic that you missed, over the years.
Update : I just noticed that many blogspot, blog authors do not turn on the Name/URL option as like in below. Now this could really have affects on both sides. First it may turn me off from commenting, as there are no link-bank options. Second, you might loose dedicated readers(blog authors on blogspot of course).
