Build an Army of Engaged Visitors with the Thrive Comments WordPress Plugin. Would you put a quarter in a vending machine that doesn’t give anything back? No, of course not. So why should visitors comment on your posts? If they update their status on Facebook, within minutes they get likes and comments. If they post on Reddit, they could earn a coveted trophy next to their name. When they chime in on Quora, they could be voted the best answer for that question. In a world where we’re taught to get rewards constantly through likes, games and social validation – leaving a comment on a WordPress website can seem so… meh. The most a visitor can hope for is a simple reply.
