Get Feedback From Readers

Blogs are designed to be a source of open communication between you and your readers. To increase interactivity, you can run polls and directly ask readers what they are looking for.
The feedback is extremely useful as it can guide the direction that your blogging should go. For example, readers may desire a different type of post than you enjoy creating, so some compromises must be made.
Benefits of polls
Polls help to link up the readers immediately. People find it much easier to answer a poll, although results may be swayed by the selections they are able to use. They also don’t address on how your site can be improved unless you run multiple polls over a period of time.
Benefits of direct communication
Direct communication with readers (say, an open post) is quite distracting to those who are already used to the typical content you produce. Comments or email will actually offer a better format for specifying exactly what needs to be done to better please the readers.
Do you connect often with your readers? If so, what method do you use?
