Would you...
1) Delete it? 2) Post a negative reply? 3) Deny? I would do neither of those mentioned above! Frankly speaking, I believe if you can write something that provokes thoughts and gathers both positive and negative comments, you're near nirvana.
As your blog grows and your readership increases, the chances of receiving negative comments increase as well.
But do you think its a bad thing? NO! It is just a dead solid evidence that proves that your blog is growing! This is provided that you're writing good quality content and not posting vulgar stuff and still expect positive comments.
Nobody wants to piss their readers off directly and nobody can please everybody.
Thats what blogging is about, you share your view and others share theirs.
Negative Comments Brings Discussions It would be kind of pointless if everyone leaves a comment saying "Hey thanks!" or "Great Post...
" If you have received such comments before, you would notice that it usually remains that way, no reply and nothing.
However, a negative comment would provoke thoughts and is able to bring up a discussion among your readers.
This is what you want because it boosts the interactivity on your blog! Comments count will definitely shoot up high and you can seize this chance to identify who is your true blue fan and who is not.
Reverse Psychology You may have noticed some people leaving comments like "Useless content...
I am not coming back anymore!" Trust me, they won't leave your circle of readership just like that.
They will probably come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and every day to come to see how "badly" you are doing and probably try to get another chance to flame you again.
So...
No worries about this! How To Handle A Negative Comment Firstly, I would thank the reader for his reminder and try my best to answer his disagreements.
The last thing that you want to do is to blow your top at your reader.
It gives other readers a bad impression and you lose your professionalism.
Try not to delete any negative comments and play around with words while replying.
Remember, your tone and language is really important here.
