Commenting is such an inexact science. More often than not, it'll be people you know, but even then people seem reluctant to post comments even if they enjoy a journal. I'm guilty of this too: I read Unknown Soldier's journal but hardly ever comment, whereas he comments quite a lot in mine. The only way to look at it is that people will comment if they want to, and if you're lucky that comment may inspire another, and get a debate or at least conversation going.

Other than that, just watch your viewcount rise: it's the best indicator of whether or not people are reading.

Hmm. Maybe if I offered free beer? Or drugs? But then, I'd have to pay for that. Damn! Another fine plan crashes down in flames!
