Join the iReply Revolution
- 64 Comment
Have you ever commented on a blog only to find that the blog owner has simply ignored you? It’s no different than sitting down in front of someone and asking them a question and then they walk away without uttering a word.
Rude, wouldn’t you say?
Well, me and a couple of my blog friends (Brown Baron of Brown Thoughts and Mike of Ordinary Folk) have come up with a new concept promoting communication between bloggers and their readers.
What’s this new concept of yours?
It’s called iReply. We know that sometimes it’s hard to reply to every single comment to a post, but that’s not what this is about. Instead, it’s about showing your readers that you acknowledge their existence. And when you do that, they’re more inclined to return AND interact.
What do I have to do to join?
If you’re already interacting with your readers, then you’ve achieved the goal we have in mind here. But posting the image to your blog will be a unique way of informing your readers that you encourage them to leave comments and that you’ll do your best to respond to them.
Where can I get that logo?
Just download it from this post (don’t link to the image, please; linking to this post is just fine though!). Here’s another one with a white background if you prefer.

The innovative idea of iReply is equally beneficial for any affiliate program that aims to keep the communications channels open and smooth among various diverse communities. In the era of affiliates marketing, where it is utmost important to maintain swift communication of affiliate information, the inception of iReply is really a blessing.

It’s a good initiative for sure. Being a new kid on the block, I do notice that the more recognized the blog is, the less interaction is between the blog owner and its readers.
It’s really kind of lonely when you hope to join the conversation and yet completely ignored.

Hi Ankit,
Thanks for taking the time to comment. 🙂
It’s different than the “u comment, i follow” crowd. Where that gives commenters a dofollow link when a person comments on a blog, iReply is more of a way to show a blogger’s commitment to responding to comments. No obligations, no ratings — just a visual way of showing your readers that you have an interactive attitude.

Just found this via your front page and think that it is a wonderful idea. I’ve downloaded the logo and will be adding it later today. I always reply to my commenters. I feel that if they’ve taken the time and care to comment, I should reply!
