    I know that among bloggers, there is always debate on where it is most important to get social engagement between the following ares.

    • Comments on your blog posts.
    • Tweets of your blog posts.
    • Comments on your Facebook wall when you link to your blog posts in a status update.
    • Social bookmarking of your blog post.
    So I was just curious – where do you see the most engagement for your blog – through social sharing, blog comments, or social bookmarking?  And most importantly, where do you want to see the most engagement between these areas?

    @kristi-hines That’s a great question, Kristi.

    I’m a newbie, but even with my young blog, it looks like most of my readers engage on Facebook (as “Likes” and comments when I link to my blog in a status update). Once in a while, my blog posts are retweeted and included in people’s papers (Paper.Li).

    I’d honestly prefer to see more engagement directly on my blog in the comments, and via social bookmarking. I currently bookmark my posts with StumbleUpon and Pinterest, but not many others in my audience do so, despite having accounts on those services themselves.

    They mostly engage on Twitter and Facebook when I share posts there.
    I share it on that platform to get more exposure so for the users of that platform is is easy to respond on that platform.
    Of course I would prefer responds on the blog but somehow it is easier to read the post on the blog and respond on the platform they got the message.Not sure how I can influence this.

    Most of the engagement now happens in facebook because majority of my readers are facebook lovers. Then another set of users drop comments and engage on my blog posts. I see the more engaging a content is the better it is for marketing and SEO purposes. I am building a community on all the major platforms that I use.

    StumbleUpon was a good one that I have used in the past but now just fall short on time for using it.
