I don't get much feedback on my posts, although I try to visit and comment on other photoblogs as often as I can. Are my photographs really that bad?

A copple of recent examples:
trailor trash carnaval
hansom horse
general patton carnaval
old man at turnhout station

What do I do wrong?

Be more active in photo communities and with it should come new visitors and new comments to your photos

Comments are nice, but I don't base much on them as far as the success of my site. Personally, I like checking my stats at the end of every month and seeing significant increases in the amount of traffic my site is generating. I'd rather have more people coming to the site, than a few people telling me they come all the time in my comments

Just my own personal preference.

Add your site to photoblogs.org - that should help get a little exposure.

Roughly out of all the visitors just .1% people care to comment - we did this study based on 37 million views across 5 domains.

Count the visits - specially the returning visitors

i comment on about 10-30 blogs a day, am active in the photoblogs.org mailing list and about 3 photo forums...

i might get 5 comments in a good day, most days are 1 or 2

I see. Then what about those peepz with +50 comments on every photograph? Are they amazingly good photographers, or do they just have a steady fanbase?

some of the photoblogs that get 50+ a day arnt all that great of photographs, at least not in my eyes...some days they have great images, most days are average at best

i dont know, i dont have a photoblog for traffic reasons, its to keep me shooting for me, rather than for school or work...

I know what you mean, but sometimes the idea of getting some more feedback is appealing :d

Its true there are some truly huge comment sites, but for the most part they are posting shots of something different and unique.

Take chromasia for example, he is posting something complete out of the ordinary and mostly of a very high standard.

Earlier I suggested photoblogs, but its also worth trying in one of the memes around the place with one of your better shots. Hit moody monday, there is a list of the more popular ones there.
