Its been over two months now since I made my Elearning Resoultions, looking at improving my online work and interactions with the wider community. One of my goals was to leave a comment every day. This has focussed on the #comments4kids. I've currently left something in the region of 130 comments specifically with that tag. I wouldn't know exactly how many general comments that I have left this year so far, however I would suspect its nearly a hundred. One of the reasons that I have targeted #comments4kids is that I wanted to experiment and measure how successful my commenting with that has become. I've created a google drive document that's keeping track of every comment so when I say that I've used the # that many times, I can back it up. (As a disclaimer I didn't do this for the first forty or so comments and I kind of wish that I had done).
As of today I've had a 1.5% return on my commenting. That is having left nearly a hundred and thirty comments, I've received two comments in reply. One was a one off comment that hasn't led to further collaboration. The other '1%' has led to a collaboration with possibly one of the best collaborators that I have met online.
I'm not put off by this in the slighest - I've had considerable return traffic from some of my posting, but what's not coming back is the commenting. Its by the by, at the end of the day I am increasing the size of my digital footprint, the comments that I am leaving are going to be around indefintaly. It means that when the key site closes (melvilleroom8.blogspot.com) or more precisely when the site goes dormant it will have some life in it. I'm getting to the point where I am repeatedly gaining pageviews in the region of 300-500 per day.
