I have comment boxes on a few sites. There have been no comments up to this point, but I am noticing higher than normal traffic counts today on all of the sites with live comment sections. I also was looking for external links via a Google links search for the Mixing Live Sound site and noticed that Google had picked up the comment section already. The script was not advertised as something that announced itself to the world, so both the traffic and the fact that the comment box is indexed are probably coincidence. I did add a heading with a question or some specific call to comment on the main sites. Maybe this helps. Time will tell if the traffic levels keep up. I will pay attention when I add the feature to additional sites to see if there is a noticeable increase in traffic. I expect the value to be greater on some sites than on other sites, but I can use all the traffic I can get.

Another way to add interaction to sites is to use a pole. I have not looked for a poling script, but I bet that they are out there. Google knows where they are, I am sure.

I am getting the itch to put up some new site. I came up with a few good domain names today. They are marked down in my web ideas list. The key will be an overall strategy if I am to put up some more sites at this time. I really need to develop some of the sites that I already have, but I have been learning some things as I have trod this path, so may a couple of focused new sites are in order. I may try one or two experimental sites as well. I could use to twist the Internet teat a bit about now. The budget is a bit tight without my major August contract this year.
