Starting a blog for your small business is an excellent way to get your company name out to the public and to have interested prospects visit your site on a regular basis. One way to reward these prospects for visiting your blog and leaving comments is to recognize their efforts by implementing a top commentators area on your small business blog.
By showcasing those who add the most value to your blog, you are not only showing your readers that you appreciate their efforts, you are also giving them a valuable backlink to their website or blog. Building up relevant backlinks is not only difficult, it is time consuming and your readers will appreciate the fact that you are helping to add more value to their websites by improving their search engine rankings.
Blogs are about conversations and creating value for your readers and vice versa. By showing your readers that you value their presence and participation on your small business blog, it will encourage them to continue to comment and others to start. Though your posts are no doubt full of value to your prospects, they will increase in value with each comment.

Very cool idea – how has it worked for you? Do you find you get a lot more comments from this?
Very informative blog. I am just researching the pros and cons of using the top commentators plugin on my blog.
I think I will give it a try.
Thanks
