10+ Useful Tools For Bloggers To Track Their Comments

Almost every blogger loves to comment on other similar niche blogs. Brand Comments gives you good number of visits & loyal readers indeed. But it is really hard for them to check their last 10 comments and the replies they received. Seriously that is a hard task for a busy/professional blogger, because it is time consuming and quite difficult.

Although there are some plugins to notify you regarding replies, still they are hard to maintain. Fortunately we have some worthy tools for tracking blog comments easily. I mentioned some useful tools below.

A link in the window allows you to view your post history where you can delete specific posts.


#11 – Disqus

Disqus

  1. Not a single of the 10 listed comment tracking tools is good enough. Some don't exist anymore, some are too restricted in which platforms they can work with, or intrusive (would you like all of your comment to go into a public news stream, no choice? g'bye co.mments!)

    I am still looking for a viable comment tracking tool. (free)

  3. Hey Pradeep,

    I had used intensedebate once instead of wordpress default comments but did not like it much. So moved back.

    I use twitter and Google Analytics. Love these 2.

  4. Great post, I never heard of most of these services and never considered some of those I use as great tools to track comments.
    This is an eye opener.
    What I am interested in is if you are using any of there (except Google and Twitter) and how do they perform?

  5. Great list of helpful applications that help in managing comments. However, I may not need this yet in my latest blog as I don’t get more than 100 comments a day. 🙂

  6. Your listified articles are always useful. I have used CoComments and BackType. I must admit that I was not having idea that we can use delicious for tracking comments too.

  7. Useful article.

    Most blogs provide a small option to subscribe to comments via email. You can set up a Gmail filter and label and auto archive all the webpages where you have earlier left comments. I do it personally.

    Backtype is another one, just love their concept. It’s also useful when you want to know whether anyone else is posting fake comments using your email address.
