Here is a small list of things you can do to increase your number of comments:
* Make a controversial post - Take a strong position. You will find some people will agree with you and some will not. Get them commenting by being somewhat outrageous
* Ask people to comment - The vast majority of people won't comment, but asking them to comment does help. Ask some questions at the end of your post that invite people to express themselves.
* Use Web 2.0 type promoting - Get your article out there. Post your article on several Web 2.0 sites like Digg, and Propeller for example. You don't have to be on all the sharing sites, but you will want to hit the influential ones, at least. Use an article submitting service such as SubmitYourArticle.
