you¡¯re right about the difference between those wanting to add to the conversation and those who are just looking for traffic. Read through any long thread of comments and you¡¯ll generally find a number of people restating what¡¯s already been said. It shows that they had little interest in being part of what¡¯s going on and more interest in just being seen to have their say.
As far as generating comments, as your post says, the conclusion is vitally important. I remember hearing from a radio broadcast expert who taught that the very first thing you should think about is the final line of what you want to say on air. That¡¯s what causes the listener to think, ¡°me too¡±, involving them in what you¡¯ve said.
Then you design a creative way to start what you want to say to grab attention. Finally, all you need to do is write just enough in between to get your listeners from your attention grabber to the ¡®kicker¡¯.

That¡¯s probably badly explained in just a paragraph but hopefully you get the idea.
I think the conversation between bloggers in the comments sections is a really undervalued thing. I read an interesting note in a post at ConversationAgent.com the other day about how a Valeria met a good blogging colleague – in the comments section of another blog.
Whether or not this happens though, and how it happens, is hard to predict. Does it just depend on who is commenting and how they respond, or is there something the blogger can do to encourage that? And if so, is it related to content, context or controversy? Or just to starting great conversations to begin with?
The simple answer is, there isn¡¯t one simple answer. But this is one great conversation!
