How to handle negative comment
I hate negative comments, especially when it comes from someone that I don’t know. But then again, I think negative comment plays an important role in the blogsphere. It helps to encourage discussions among the readers. It could also be a sign that your blog is growing and so does the readers. And who knows, negative comments can also increase your blog traffic :)

Personally, I would love to have someone to provide a negative comment to my posts. Again, negative comments gives you the opportunity to improve your content and writing skills.

Now, you’ve receive a negative comment in your blog, what’s next? How do you handle these negative comments then?

The way I look at it, the best way is to smile and thank him for his comments while at the same time inquire about his concern. Do not just go and fight with the commentator, you are being unreasonable and unprofessional. You might also learn something along the way.

If you don’t like negative comments, you always have the option to edit and even delete them from your admin page. Finally, you can avoid negative comments by activating the “held the comments for moderation” in Admin >> Options >> Discussion pages. These methods can slow down your blog interactivity and participation, so you decide.

Do you have any other ideas on how to handle negative comment?

    I don’t take it personally. It’s their point of view but if it’s something rude or I don’t like it, I’ll just delete it. Luckily, all the comments I’ve got are fine to me ;-)

    same here.
    if its really rude and dont deserve publication…i just delete it.

    if its something that i can counter back with a positive feedback,like you Ter, i’ll just take it as something to look on a different perspective.
