You are missing out on a lot of the benefit articles can provide. It's interaction that makes the Internet such a powerful tool over passively reading a magazine or a book.
I have to agree. While some articles are great, I tend to learn more via the comments, and especially when interacting with the people making comments. There is always more to learn.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I get a lot of added info on earning sites this way as well, both good and bad. They will also sometimes post more links to similar sites, so I have more stuff to check out.

I hate the comments that are just posting to post a link to their website. I always scroll right past them if they have not provided any other information, except for their link.

Anyone who has been around for a while knows posting links like that won't work anyway.

DreekLass wrote:Lol. I suppose it is a little different though. Leaving a comment on a blog vs leaving one on a forum feels different in that you will most likely get immediate responses with forums. Blogs feel a little more insular to me. But it is still important to leave useful comments on them.

Ha, yeah, that was funny. It is different though, especially since you often need to sign up before you can comment. I don't sign up for everything I come across.
